5 Skincare Ingredients to Avoid

However, not all ingredients are skin-friendly, and some can even cause more harm than good. To help you make informed decisions, let’s explore the top 5 ingredients widely regarded as the worst in skincare products, delving into why they’ve earned such a…

If we want to promote the boycott of is-not-reali products, we need to give substitutes and options for it.

Now, I also remember sisters asking me for my skincare/haircare routines, and I wanted to give a detailed article on that, but now it ain't about the time.

So, here, I'll try to compile these two topics.

Skincare that's effective without using any israeli/american product.

First of all, I don't have a skincare routine. I don't follow any step by step process. But, I do use products that help me keep my skin clean and hydrated.

And the most important advice I'll give to sisters is not to go for "skincare brands" that give pea sized products in bag size money. These industries are mostly scam. Always go for drugstore products. Those that are created for medicinal purposes oriented towards genuinely healing the skin problems. And if you don't have any active skin problems, don't expose your face to various products for achieving "perfect skin". There's nothing like that. Normal skins have occasional pimples, pigmentations, dark spots and uneven texture.

Anyway.

If you're going for drugstore products...

Go for phrama companies like Cipla and Reddy's Laboratories.

I personally use Reddy's Venusia Max moisturizer as my skin gets extremely dry often. If you have dry n normal (combination) skin you can use it. And if you have oily skin, go for squalane based moisturizers from Derma Co.

Next in line, if you want to use any serums, vit C is best for skins and there's a product by Cipla "Rivella Vit C and HA Serum" it's soothing, and effective. Alhamdulillah.

As a face cleanser or what you call as face wash, there are very brilliant new company products from DeConstruct that I love love love because they are so gentle on face and keep your pH balance and moisture intact (great substitute for Dove soap)

Then there's one more important aspect on skincare that's protection from UV...so you'll need a sunscreen. Go for Regaliz Truederma SPF 50. It's efficient. Alhamdulillah. Or Minimalist Suncreen spf 60 + Niacinamide incase you wanna go economically minimalistic. Derma Co Zinc Sunscreen is good too (one that comes in orange coloured pack)

Now, these four things are more than enough to keep your skin good.

Cleanser, Serum, Moisturizer, Sunblock.

Apart from that if you still wanna have some extra products...not from drugstore but excellent Indian brands...then Go for Pilgrim or Minimalist. They have best the ranges in every product.

And then comes Haircare...

Boycott Garnier. Boycott Loreal Paris. Boycott Head n Shoulders.

Go for St. Botanica. The Shampoos are sooooo great. Allahummaabaarik. SLS, Paraben Free, Actually formulated for cleaning dirt from hairs and reduce hair problems. Conditioners too are effective and they actually work as they advertise. If not St. Botanica, mamaearth would be good...but I didn't see it's results as best as St. Botanica.

For lipbalms though, you can go for Mamaearth. The shades are subtle and help keep your lips hydrated and avoid pigmentations. Stop using Ponds, Vaseline, Nivea. .PLEASE!!!! Their lipbalms do nothing but make your lips darker and greasy.

Makeup, I don't use tbh. But few years back, I had gotten a lipstick from MyGlamm and a Foundation of Biotique. They were good. You can go for it.

Bodywashes, Feet scrubs - Bodywise

Hair removal gels/creams - Sirona

Perfumes - Ajmal / Maison De Fouzdar are best. No doubt.

I'm sharing this post not to promote any sort of "self care" in this situation....but as an essential need of substitutes. Infact these substitutes are way better and effective than the Israeli American products we've been wasting our money on.

I have tried to mention most of the things used by women because that's the biggest market for Israeli products.

If you are an Indian, promote Indian brands 'cause we gotta "make in India" ;)

For that we need to use only that which is "made in India"

Go ahead...you can add anything else I might've missed. And yes...If any Mother's seeing this, let us know baby products that are made in India.

Ingredients to watch out for or avoid in over the counter skincare products by Cheyanne Mallas

Over-the-counter (OTC) skin care products have become increasingly popular for their convenience and accessibility. However, it is essential for consumers to be aware of the ingredients present in these products as some can potentially harm the skin says Cheyanne Mallas from www.pacheyannemallas.com

This article aims to provide an authoritative guide on the ingredients that should be watched out for or avoided in OTC skin care products.

1. Parabens:

Parabens are commonly used as preservatives in many cosmetic and skin care products. However, studies have shown that parabens can mimic estrogen in the body, leading to potential hormonal disruptions. Research has linked paraben exposure to increased risk of breast cancer and reproductive issues. Therefore, it is advisable to avoid products that contain parabens, such as methylparaben, propylparaben, and butylparaben.

2. Fragrances:

Fragrances are often added to skin care products to enhance their appeal. However, they can cause allergic reactions, skin irritation, and even respiratory problems in some individuals. Manufacturers are not required to disclose the specific ingredients used in fragrances, making it difficult for consumers to identify potential allergens. Opting for fragrance-free or unscented products is recommended to minimize the risk of adverse reactions.

3. Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS) and Sodium Laureth Sulfate (SLES):

SLS and SLES are foaming agents commonly found in cleansers, shampoos, and body washes. While they create a rich lather, they can strip the skin of its natural oils, leading to dryness and irritation. SLS and SLES can also penetrate the skin and potentially interact with other chemicals, causing further damage. It is advisable to choose products that are labeled as SLS/SLES-free or look for alternative surfactants such as coco-glucoside or decyl glucoside.

4. Formaldehyde and Formaldehyde-releasing preservatives:

Formaldehyde and formaldehyde-releasing preservatives, such as quaternium-15 and DMDM hydantoin, are commonly used as preservatives in skin care products. However, they can cause skin irritation, allergic reactions, and have been classified as carcinogenic by the International Agency for Research on Cancer. Checking the ingredient list for these substances and avoiding products containing them is crucial for the safety of the skin.

5. Hydroquinone:

Hydroquinone is a skin lightening ingredient often used to treat hyperpigmentation. However, it has been associated with adverse effects such as skin irritation, redness, and even ochronosis (a skin disorder characterized by darkening and thickening of the skin). Long-term use of hydroquinone can lead to permanent skin damage. It is advisable to consult a dermatologist before using any product containing hydroquinone and only use it under professional guidance.

In conclusion, when selecting OTC skin care products, it is essential to be cautious and knowledgeable about the ingredients they contain. Parabens, fragrances, SLS/SLES, formaldehyde and formaldehyde-releasing preservatives, and hydroquinone are some of the ingredients that should be watched out for or avoided due to their potential harm to the skin says Cheyanne Mallas. By being aware and making informed choices, consumers can ensure the safety and well-being of their skin.

How to Identify and Avoid Harmful Ingredients in Baby Care Products

Ensuring the safety of your baby's skin and overall health begins with selecting appropriate care products. The delicate nature of infant skin makes it more susceptible to the adverse effects of certain chemicals commonly found in baby care items. Understanding which ingredients to avoid and how to identify them is crucial for every parent. In this guide, we'll explore common harmful substances in baby products and provide practical tips to help you make informed choices.

Common Harmful Ingredients in Baby Care Products

1. Parabens

Parabens are synthetic preservatives used to extend the shelf life of cosmetic and personal care products. They can penetrate the skin and may interfere with hormone function, potentially leading to developmental and reproductive issues. Common parabens to watch for include methylparaben, ethylparaben, propylparaben, and butylparaben.

2. Phthalates

Phthalates are chemicals used to increase the flexibility of plastics and are often found in fragrances added to personal care products. Exposure to phthalates has been linked to hormonal disruptions and developmental problems. Since they are often included under the term "fragrance," it's advisable to choose products labeled as "fragrance-free" or those that use natural scents.

3. Formaldehyde and Formaldehyde-Releasing Preservatives

Formaldehyde is a known carcinogen used as a preservative in some baby shampoos and body washes. It can cause skin irritation and has been linked to more severe health concerns with prolonged exposure. Some preservatives release formaldehyde over time, including quaternium-15, DMDM hydantoin, and imidazolidinyl urea.

4. Fragrances

Synthetic fragrances can contain numerous undisclosed chemicals, including allergens and endocrine disruptors. These can cause skin irritation and other health issues. Opt for products that are labeled "fragrance-free" or those scented with natural, essential oils.

5. Sulfates

Sulfates, such as sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) and sodium laureth sulfate (SLES), are detergents and foaming agents found in shampoos and cleansers. They can strip the skin of natural oils, leading to dryness and irritation. SLES may also be contaminated with 1,4-dioxane, a probable human carcinogen.

6. Talc

Talc is used in baby powders to absorb moisture. However, talc can be contaminated with asbestos, a known carcinogen, and its use has been associated with respiratory issues in infants. It's advisable to avoid talc-containing products and opt for safer alternatives like cornstarch-based powders.

7. Bisphenol A (BPA)

BPA is a chemical found in certain plastics and resins, including some baby bottles and sippy cups. It can leach into liquids and has been linked to hormonal disruptions and developmental problems. Choosing BPA-free bottles and feeding accessories is essential to reduce exposure.

Tips for Identifying and Avoiding Harmful Ingredients

1. Read Labels Carefully

Always examine the ingredient list on baby care products. Familiarize yourself with the chemical names of harmful substances to spot them easily. Be cautious of vague terms like "fragrance," which can encompass multiple undisclosed chemicals.

2. Choose Products with Natural Ingredients

Opt for products that use natural, organic ingredients. These are less likely to contain harmful chemicals and are generally gentler on your baby's skin. Look for certifications from reputable organizations that verify the product's organic status.

3. Avoid Products with Synthetic Fragrances and Dyes

Synthetic fragrances and dyes can cause allergic reactions and skin irritation. Select products labeled as "unscented" or those that use natural scents and colorants.

4. Perform a Patch Test

Before using a new product, apply a small amount to a patch of your baby's skin and observe for any adverse reactions over 24 hours. This can help prevent widespread irritation or allergic responses.

5. Consult Reliable Resources

Utilize databases and resources from reputable organizations that provide information on product safety and ingredient hazards. These platforms can offer guidance on which products to choose or avoid.

6. Be Wary of Marketing Claims

Terms like "natural" and "hypoallergenic" are not strictly regulated and can be misleading. Always verify such claims by checking the actual ingredient list.

How to Decide Which Hair Shampoos Can Help Reduce Keratin Destruction

Keratin is a crucial protein that forms the foundation of healthy hair, providing strength, elasticity, and smoothness. However, frequent exposure to heat styling, chemical treatments, pollution, and harsh hair care products can break down keratin, leading to brittle, frizzy, and weak hair. Choosing the right shampoo can help protect and reduce keratin destruction, ensuring that your hair remains strong and vibrant. This guide will help you understand which hair shampoos are best for maintaining keratin levels and preventing damage.

Understanding Keratin and Its Role in Hair Health

Keratin is a structural protein that makes up the outer layer of hair, acting as a protective barrier. When keratin is intact, hair appears shiny, smooth, and healthy. However, factors such as excessive heat styling, harsh chemical treatments, and sulfates in hair products can strip keratin from the hair, leading to:

Increased frizz and dryness

Hair breakage and split ends

Loss of natural shine and elasticity

To prevent this damage, it is essential to choose shampoos that help maintain and protect keratin levels.

Key Ingredients to Look for in Keratin-Protecting Shampoos

When selecting a shampoo that helps reduce keratin destruction, focus on formulas enriched with beneficial ingredients. Here are some key components to look for:

1. Keratin-Infused Shampoos

Shampoos that contain keratin proteins help replenish lost keratin, strengthening the hair shaft and reducing damage. These products are ideal for individuals with chemically treated or heat-damaged hair.

2. Sulfate-Free Formulas

Sulfates, such as Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS) and Sodium Laureth Sulfate (SLES), are harsh detergents that can strip natural oils and keratin from hair. Opt for sulfate-free shampoos to maintain moisture and protein integrity.

3. Amino Acids and Proteins

Ingredients like silk proteins, wheat proteins, and hydrolyzed collagen help strengthen hair fibers and enhance keratin retention.

4. Natural Oils and Moisturizing Agents

Oils such as argan oil, coconut oil, and jojoba oil help nourish and seal the hair cuticle, preventing moisture loss and protecting keratin from environmental stressors.

5. Biotin and Panthenol (Pro-Vitamin B5)

Biotin and panthenol support hair health by improving elasticity, reducing breakage, and maintaining keratin structure.

6. Antioxidants and UV Protection

Antioxidants such as vitamin E, green tea extract, and aloe vera help protect hair from free radical damage, while UV filters shield hair from sun-induced keratin breakdown.

Best Types of Shampoos for Keratin Protection

1. Keratin Treatment-Safe Shampoos

If you have undergone a keratin treatment, use a shampoo specifically designed for post-treatment care. These shampoos are free from sulfates and salt, helping extend the longevity of your keratin treatment.

2. Moisturizing Shampoos for Dry and Damaged Hair

Hydrating shampoos with humectants like glycerin and hyaluronic acid help prevent moisture loss and keep hair supple, reducing keratin degradation.

3. Protein-Rich Repairing Shampoos

These shampoos contain hydrolyzed keratin and other proteins that strengthen weak hair strands and repair damage caused by heat and chemicals.

4. Color-Safe Shampoos

If you color-treat your hair, choose a color-safe shampoo with keratin-friendly ingredients to prevent fading and protect against keratin loss from harsh dyes.

5. Organic and Natural Shampoos

Chemical-free hair shampoos containing botanical extracts and essential oils provide gentle cleansing while maintaining hair’s natural protein balance.

What to Avoid in Shampoos That May Harm Keratin

Certain shampoo ingredients can contribute to keratin degradation. Avoid the following harmful components:

Sulfates (SLS, SLES) – Strips natural oils and keratin from hair

Parabens – Can cause dryness and scalp irritation

Alcohol-Based Formulas – Dries out hair and weakens keratin bonds

Harsh Fragrances and Synthetic Dyes – Can cause scalp irritation and damage hair structure

Additional Tips to Maintain Keratin Levels in Hair

Besides using the right shampoo, consider these hair care tips to minimize keratin loss:

Limit Heat Styling: Reduce the use of hot tools like straighteners and curling irons.

Use Heat Protectants: Always apply a heat protectant spray before styling.

Regular Deep Conditioning: Use keratin-infused conditioners and masks weekly.

Avoid Overwashing: Washing too frequently can strip essential proteins and oils.

Trim Hair Regularly: Prevent split ends and breakage by getting regular trims.

Conclusion

Choosing the right hair shampoo is crucial for maintaining hair health and protecting keratin from damage. Look for sulfate-free, protein-rich formulas enriched with hydrating oils and antioxidants to strengthen hair and prevent keratin depletion. Avoid harsh chemicals and excessive heat styling to keep your hair strong, smooth, and vibrant. By making informed choices, you can preserve your hair’s natural keratin levels and enjoy healthier, shinier locks.
