โ๏ธIt should be illegal to use these preservatives in conjunction with those marketing terms
โ๏ธIt should come with a warning label,
But itโs not and itโs doesnโt…
Just a prime example of why creating EMPOWERED label readers is so important to me.
๐ ๐๐ข๐ฉ:
Preservatives are very necessary but most often the most toxic and concerning ingredients on a label. Youโll usually find them towards the bottom of the label and youโll want to put the products right back on the shelf if it contains:
โ๏ธphenoxyethanol
โ๏ธmethylisothiazolinone
โ๏ธbenzathiazolinone
โ๏ธanything ending in -paraben
