AVOID THESE CHEMICALS IN SKINCARE/MAKE UP
Parabens (Methylparaben, Propylparaben, Butylparaben)
Why to Avoid: Parabens are preservatives that can disrupt hormones and have been linked to breast cancer.
Found in: Foundations, moisturizers, creams, and shampoos.
Plant-Based Replacement:
Natural Preservatives like rosemary extract, vitamin E (tocopherol), and tea tree oil. These have antibacterial properties and help extend the shelf life of natural products.
Â
Phthalates
Why to Avoid: Linked to reproductive issues, hormone disruption, and developmental problems.
Found in: Fragrance, nail polish, hair sprays, and lotions.
Plant-Based Replacement:
Essential oils like lavender, rose, or chamomile for natural fragrance.
Aloe vera gel can be used to replace synthetic thickeners in hair sprays.
Â
Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS) and Sodium Laureth Sulfate (SLES)
Why to Avoid: These are harsh detergents that can strip the skin of natural oils, causing irritation and dryness.
Found in: Cleansers, shampoos, body washes, and toothpaste.
Plant-Based Replacement:
Coconut-derived surfactants such as decyl glucoside or coco-glucoside.
Castile soap made from olive oil and coconut oil can be a gentler, natural cleanser.
Â
 Synthetic Fragrance
Why to Avoid: Often contains hidden chemicals like phthalates and can cause allergic reactions or skin sensitivity.
Found in: Perfumes, lotions, shampoos, and body washes.
Plant-Based Replacement:
Essential oils (like lavender, eucalyptus, or citrus).
Herbal hydrosols (like rose water or witch hazel) can be used in toners and mists.
Â
Formaldehyde and Formaldehyde Releasing Agents (DMDM Hydantoin, Quaternium-15)
Why to Avoid: Known carcinogens and skin irritants.
Found in: Nail polish, hair straightening products, and some facial cleansers.
Plant-Based Replacement:
Fermented radish root extract or willow bark extract, both of which have antimicrobial and preserving qualities.
Â
 Toluene
Why to Avoid: A strong solvent that can cause respiratory issues, nausea, and damage to the nervous system.
Found in: Nail polish and hair dyes.
Plant-Based Replacement:
Look for water-based nail polishes or plant-based polishes using ingredients like sugarcane ethanol.
Â
Oxybenzone
Why to Avoid: Found in sunscreens, this chemical can disrupt hormones and cause allergic skin reactions.
Found in: Sunscreens, moisturizers with SPF, and foundations.
Plant-Based Replacement:
Zinc oxide or titanium dioxide, both natural minerals that provide sun protection.
Red raspberry seed oil or carrot seed oil, which have natural SPF properties.
Â
Polyethylene Glycols (PEGs)
Why to Avoid: PEGs can be contaminated with harmful impurities like ethylene oxide and 1,4-dioxane, both of which are carcinogens.
Found in: Moisturizers, sunscreens, and conditioners.
Plant-Based Replacement:
Shea butter, coconut oil, or jojoba oil as natural moisturizing agents.
Plant-based emulsifiers like candelilla wax or beeswax.
Â
Retinyl Palmitate (Synthetic Vitamin A)
Why to Avoid: Can increase skin sensitivity and is linked to reproductive toxicity and cancer risks, especially when exposed to sunlight.
Found in: Anti-aging creams and sunscreens.
Plant-Based Replacement:
Rosehip oil or bakuchiol (a plant-based alternative to retinol) for natural anti-aging properties.
Â
Petrolatum (Petroleum Jelly)
Why to Avoid: A by-product of crude oil, petrolatum can clog pores and may be contaminated with carcinogens.
Found in: Lip balms, moisturizers, and hair care products.
Plant-Based Replacement:
Cocoa butter, shea butter, or mango butter as emollients.
Beeswax or soy wax for a protective barrier without clogging pores.
Â
 Triclosan
Why to Avoid: This antibacterial agent can cause hormone disruptions and lead to antibiotic resistance.
Found in: Soaps, toothpaste, and deodorants.
Plant-Based Replacement:
Tea tree oil, lavender oil, or eucalyptus oil for natural antibacterial effects.
Neem oil, known for its antibacterial and antifungal properties, is ideal for skincare.
Â
Silicones (Dimethicone, Cyclopentasiloxane)
Why to Avoid: Silicones can block pores, leading to acne and dull skin.
Found in: Primers, moisturizers, and foundations.
Plant-Based Replacement:
Aloe vera gel or squalane (derived from olives) as natural alternatives for a smooth texture.
Sea buckthorn oil for a hydrating and smoothing effect without clogging pores.
