Makeups Followups
I could've sworn I wrote something since the post about buying stuff, but I'm about to go out again, and today of all days I decide to look into this ingredients business. Maybe one day I'll go and Google every ingredient in my cosmetics, but today I just read labels.
That terrible Maybelline foundation I ranted about in my other post? Here's another bad thing: full of parabens! Methylparaben, propylparaben, ethylparaben, isobutylparaben, butylparaben! Not to mention sodium chloride. That's like salt, right? I heard that's fine for body washes, but you don't want that staying on your skin because it dries it out.
Ew. I've done enough research on parabens to not even know that there were as many as five types of them (let alone in one product), but why am I going to possibly up my chances? I'm especially cautious since I'm already in all types of unhealthiness from food and being sedentary and maybe environmental issues, plus hereditary factors. I was going to say that perhaps parabens are like high fructose corn syrup in that one) they're in everything and two) maybe a bottle here and there isn't guaranteed disease but studies seem incomplete...
Disappointed to find that the Victoria's Secret lotions I'd been using and the Bath & Body Works lotion I was going to use have parabens. Seriously. I only buy like body lotion for practicality and get these fancy, lady-smelling, name brands from the stepmother as holiday gifts. You'd think for like $9... I also had some cheap lotion from like a Dollar Tree place that had some sodium stuff, IDK how I feel about that. Also, I had a last drop of Luxe Sangria Splash- parabens. Which is weird because I looked at my other fragrances and they didn't seem to have them. R.I.P. Luxe Sangria Splash.
My Cetaphil face wash has parabens :( I guess I will go back to St. Ives now except that it says it has PEG-100, and I heard PEGs are also bad. No idea why, I'll research later. St. Ives seems to be up on it though, saying they don't test on animals, formulated without parabens... I've a coupons for Toms deodorant. They're supposed to be natural-y, yes? Are they also the guys that make shoes? I heard those are actually bad, like they mismanage charity money.
Why is everything terrible!?
