Beauty products ingredients dangerous for your skin
Here's a tip that certain beauty companies won't like because it contains an inconvenient truth about cosmetic products.
Most of the time we don't pay attention at the product's label. It contains a lot of ingredients difficult to pronounce and it doesn't say much to us.
For instance, I believed that Sodium Laureth Sulfate (also known as SLES) is a classic component in most of the cleansing products, with no harm to the skin. After a little reading, I found out that Sodium Laureth Sulfate contains a low level of a carcinogen element, 1,4-Dioxane that may cause skin damage and eye irritation. It can be absorbed through the scalp and skin from shampoos, bath and shower gels, and other personal care products.

Next time I will be more careful when choosing my shampoo.
