Sometimes it's easy to spot false advertising claims. Sometimes not so much.

C'mon!
The newest more clever claim is the "All Natural" approach. Some companies throw the natural word around, knowing natural sells. They even design their packaging with earthy colors to trick your mind. These companies rely solely on marketing statistics. They know most people don't buy their products based on ingredients. Most people don't understand what they do.
They have their PR propaganda.
"Expensive products have better ingredients".
We have truthful Tourette's.
The price of the product depends on the company making it. You can pay top dollar for the same chemicals that comprise a cheap product. Fancy marketing, good PR and huge AD budgets are what you pay for. Most popular skincare lines spend over 90% of their budget on this. The rest is spent on the actual development of the product.
Sometimes it's only 3%.
After talking to a lab we discovered some things. Chemists say that their clients come in looking for the same thing all the time. The concerns are how a product looks, how it feels after application, its fragrance and that it's as inexpensive as possible. To do this they use cheap fillers and preservatives that are made in laboratories, and are comprised of harmful toxic chemicals. These same chemicals are sometimes used to clean grease off garage floors. Some are also found in household cleaners.
Shocked?
Ingredients we would not touch with a ten foot pole.
Sodium Laureth Sulfate
A study at the University of Georgia Medical College, indicated that SLS penetrated into the eyes as well as brain, heart, liver, etc., and showed long-term retention in the tissues. The study also indicated that SLS penetrated young children's eyes and prevented them from developing properly and caused cataracts to develop In adults.
May cause hair loss by attacking the follicle. Classified as a drug in bubble baths because it eats away skin protection and causes rashes and infection to occur.Is potentially harmful to skin and hair. Cleans by corrosion. Dries skin by stripping the protective lipids from the surface so it can't effectively regulate moisture. Another extremely serious problem is the connection of SLS with nitrate contamination. SLS reacts with many types of ingredients used in skin products and forms nitrosomines (nitrates). Nitrates are potential cancer-causing carcinogenics. Because of the alarming penetrating power of SLS, large amounts of these known carcinogens are absorbed through the skin into the body. A variation of SLS is SODIUM LAURETH SULFATE (Sodium Lauryl Ether Sulfate- SLES). It exhibits many of the same characteristics and is a higher-foaming variation of SLS.
But why because it's also used in these types of products?
