This tag refers to any & all articles related to the “Eye on Ingredients” column on our magazine.

How do we know if we want to see
a certain ingredient on a product label?

In this column, we talk about the ingredients listed on our self-care products. We know how tough it can be to understand the gibberish that is often disguised as an ingredient. In our mission to promote healthy skin, and a healthier lifestyle & world in general, we believe that the first step is advocating for educated consumption. Practice self-love by knowing exactly what you’re putting in your body AND on your body.

What you should always remember
when looking at a list of ingredients:

  • The list goes in order from greatest to least, with the main ingredient being first.
  • If it sounds like a science experiment, it’s probably not good for you.
  • As a general rule – the fewer ingredients, the better.
