The ingredients. Do they matter?
Ever stopped and looked at the ingredients list recently? What ever is to hand, a grooming product or food take a look. Can you dispher the ingredients, are there chemical compounds, inci or latin names your find hard to pronounce?
Reading the ingredients labels has been something I have been doing throughout my 26 years in the industry. Being educated on what the important ones do and why they are in the product started way back when I first worked with Decor, dermalogica enhanced the education 10 fold over my career amd gave a much clearer and brilliant understanding of why they are needed. Now I turn my focus towards the other ones (and usually a lot) and what do they do. Perhaps a surfactant to help a product wipe off the skin, an emulsifier to blend oil and water, a thickening agent , sensorial benefit, stability and preservation.
We are sometimes so focused on the extracts and the healthy or best sounding ones we find ourselves needing for a skin concern the others can be overlooked or take a back seat. BUT heres the not so talked about...they are just as important !!!!
Im just getting started and want to help you discover what I do. Creating my uncomplicated line of products for easy and reassured skin compatability that takes the natural option right through the whole product formulation.
