I can't call myself crunchy, but I'm an avid label-reader, and some things should really be kept out of our products.Gaiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11561470171631737626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27044110.post-26317032668149552282008-03-04T10:03:00.000-05:002008-03-04T10:03:00.000-05:00Minette- I looked at ingredient list of the liver ...Minette- I looked at ingredient list of the liver spot serum and wasn't impressed. So far, I see nice results from the Remede C serum, which I think cost about the same as Bliss. On the insanely expensive front, Revive have some incredible products. I loved everything I sampled, but have promised myself not to go there until I turn 40.Gaiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11561470171631737626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27044110.post-21311597395856922782008-03-01T00:52:00.000-05:002008-03-01T00:52:00.000-05:00Maybe Cetaphil?

And there's the classic Johnson's Head-to-Toe, supercheap, no parabens, and just SLES. <BR/><BR/>I have found <A HREF="http://www.cosmeticsdatabase.com/index.php?nothanks=1" REL="nofollow">Skin Deep</A> an invaluable cosmetics resource. It seems to have a comprehensive and reliable database for cosmetics ingredients. They link to clinical studies, so you can see where the info comes from.<BR/><BR/>Myself, I'm crunchy all the day, by default.

It's not a myth and is backed with enough reputable evidence. The urban legend part is that SLS causes cancer. The story made the rounds to such an effect that the American Cancer Society had to step in and try to stop it: <BR/><A HREF="http://www.cancer.org/docroot/NWS/content/NWS_2_1x_Debunking_the_Myth.asp" REL="nofollow">see this</A>Gaiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11561470171631737626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27044110.post-42057380170924758132008-02-29T06:21:00.000-05:002008-02-29T06:21:00.000-05:00the myth around SLS is definitely true. a while ba...the myth around SLS is definitely true. a while back i was using a crest toothpaste with glitter (ahahah) and suave shampoo/conditioner. as you could tell, i knew nothing about products back then. anyways, soon i developed a huge red rash around my mouth. it looked like a mustache! my doctor recommended using burt's bee's toothpaste (fyi, it's very badly flavored :P) and j/a/s/o/n hair products, which are both SLS-free, and slowly the rash went away. i had tried different creams and lotions over the course of a year or so, and nothing worked until i tried the SLS-free products.<BR/><BR/>sorry i went off on a tangent there, i just wanted to warn others. maybe i just have sensitive skin....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
