"Can you make your ________ with/without _______?"
This is a very popular question, especially when followed up with, "I heard on TikTok that ______ is toxic."
1. Formulation isn't done overnight. It can take months to years to perfect a Formulation. And for a solo business, thousands of dollars to make a single adjustment. Not to mention timing and testing.
2. Don't trust TikTok. Please, don't.
3. Not every ingredient is toxic, please; no more fear mongering. Just because your dog walker's niece's husband's uncle's sister's toddler had a "reaction", doesn't mean _____ is toxic.
4. Rest assured there are GREAT REASONS why I chose certain ingredients over others: bioavailability, sustainability, tested & true record of performance, non trendy, and cost effectiveness. If you like Hungarian Lavender but English Lavender is a safer skin-friendly choice and more affordable, I will go with safer and affordable. If lab-created means lower risk of irritation, then lab-created is an option.
5. If you want a certain product without _______ ingredient(s), I can male recommendations, but may not know every single 1.2+ million brands worldwide so I can't always have an answer that satisfies your request.
Everything should be tested in yourself to meet your own requirements.
Merci beaucoup,
