kind of a shame that nordic beauty brands arent using more of our traditional ingredients such as birch or pine tar or even any of our berries since we have so much

[mashriqiyyah]

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.

Parabens, SLS, microbeads and why we should avoid them

Parabens

Parabens are used as a preservative in cosmetics to prevent the growth of harmful bacteria and mould. There were health concerns that they may cause breast cancer almost 20 years ago, but this study was inconclusive and since then there have not been any studies that suggest as such. However, does this mean it's all good and safe for use?

Perhaps not, especially if you have sensitive skin. I do, and so I avoid it. I started getting eczema on my face around 10 years ago, at first I did not know what it was. I bought a nicely scented face cream and kept my face moisturised, hoping the dryness, pain, and flaky skin will go away. It wasn't until I learnt that it was eczema and that paraben is not good for my skin, that I switched to a paraben-free face cream and I've stuck to the same one since then.

Sometimes, a product will explicitly state "paraben-free", but what if it doesn't? How do we determine whether a cosmetic item is paraben-free? It's actually pretty easy, just direct your vision-perceiving spheres to the ingredients list on the product, and if there's anything that is listed with "-paraben" as the suffix, then there you go. Some examples of parabens are ethylparaben, butylparaben, isobutylparaben, isopropylparaben, methylparaben and propylparaben.

SLS (Sodium Lauryl Sulfate)

SLS is a foaming agent in a ton of beauty products, but it also sucks out the natural moisture on your skin. It's why your hands can feel extra dry and tight after washing your hands with soap, or why your scalp can feel extra dry after using shampoo. SLS is known to be an irritant, causing irritations in more sensitive skin types.

Not only that, but a lot of SLS is also derived from palm oil. Unfortunately, out of the three, this is probably the most widely seen ingredient on the market, ranging from soaps to household cleaners.

Microbeads

Plastic. Some exfoliating cosmetics has microbeads which is actually just plastics. And we all know what happens when these microbeads get washed down the drain and into the sea. I believe the UK has banned microbeads, so we shouldn't be able to buy them anymore, but be careful that microbeads replacements may not always be trustworthy either. (Did you know that both detergent pods and sheets contain plastic?! I only learnt this last year. ☹️)

While I personally don't use exfoliating products and thus do not know how or when to use them, there are natural exfoliators in replacement of microbeads.

[killing-time-w-kaz]

When I was at summer camp, my cabin was nut free bc we had a camper with a severe nut allergy. So you know what her BUNKMATE did? Had a whole jar of peanut butter in their shared dresser.

And I have an allergy to SLS, which is a chemical/ingredient found in most toothpaste, mouthwash, soap, shampoo, face wash, etc. I won’t go into anaphylactic shock if I ingest this, but I will get an annoying reaction that makes it hard to eat for anywhere from a week to two weeks. And the number of times I have to tell people to throughly wash dishes, or not to use my toothpaste (cross contamination from Switched caps or transfer from someone else’s brush), I still end up not being able to eat properly. This summer I made it very clear about the allergy and the fact that I would make it everybody’s problem if their actions lead to me getting said reaction. And I still found dishes not cleaned properly, with dish soap residue left on bowls and cups. Man was I angry.

I wasn’t going to derail the disability pride month post for people with peanut allergies but in relation to that topic

I have never seen another allergy that has been so viscerally hated and mocked by people working in education like nut allergies. I’ve seen fellow teachers cringe that their classroom was the “nut free” classroom that year. Support staff that are trained and willfully don’t follow cross contamination protocol in the lunchroom because it’s too “tedious” or “time-consuming”. Full preschools + childcare centers that refuse to accommodate nut allergies. Schools where the only free lunch is a PB&J. Before/after school programs and summer programs whose food curriculum has nuts and doesn’t provide an alternative activity.

Allergy discrimination is so so insidious and prevalent. It’s happening behind their back and it is everything from the exposure joke to possibly causing someone to go into anaphylaxis from willful ignorance.

Also other parents in the classroom are guilty too. The “not my child not my problem” brain rot means that those lunchboxes are like bombs for airborne exposure allergies

"Nourish and Protect: Understanding Sulphate-Free Shampoos

Sulphate-free shampoos have gained popularity in recent years as consumers become more conscious of the ingredients in their hair care products. Traditional shampoos often contain sulfates, such as sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) and sodium laureth sulfate (SLES), which are effective cleansing agents. However, they can strip the hair of its natural oils, leading to dryness, frizz, and irritation, especially for those with sensitive scalps or color-treated hair.

In contrast, sulphate-free shampoos use milder, plant-based surfactants that cleanse without the harsh effects of sulfates. These formulations help maintain the hair's natural moisture balance, making them ideal for individuals with curly, textured, or chemically treated hair. By avoiding sulfates, these shampoos reduce the risk of irritation and allergic reactions, promoting overall scalp health.

Moreover, sulphate-free shampoos often contain nourishing ingredients like natural oils, botanical extracts, and proteins that help strengthen and hydrate hair. As a result, users often notice improved shine, softness, and manageability. Switching to a sulphate-free shampoo can be a game-changer for those looking to enhance their hair health and embrace a more gentle, effective cleansing routine. Embrace the benefits of sulphate-free shampoos for vibrant, healthy hair.

Surfactants in Cosmetics: How They Impact Your Skin and Hair

Surfactants are essential ingredients found in many cosmetics and personal care products, playing a crucial role in how they work and how effective they are. But what exactly are surfactants, and how do they impact your skin and hair? Let's explore the world of surfactants in cosmetics and their effects on our beauty routines.

What Are Surfactants in Cosmetics?

Surfactants, or surface-active agents, are compounds that help reduce the surface tension between liquids and solids. This property allows them to effectively clean, foam, and emulsify. In cosmetics, surfactants serve various purposes, including cleansing, foaming, and stabilizing products. They can be found in a wide range of beauty items, from shampoos and conditioners to facial cleansers and makeup removers.

The Role of Surfactants in Cosmetic Formulations

Surfactants play a vital role in the formulation of cosmetic products. They help to mix oil and water, allowing for the creation of creams, lotions, and gels. This emulsifying ability is essential for achieving a smooth and stable product. Additionally, surfactants are responsible for the foaming action in products like shampoos, making it easier to spread and apply them to your hair and skin.

Surfactants and Skin Health

When it comes to skincare, surfactants can have both positive and negative effects on your skin. On one hand, they are essential for effectively removing dirt, oil, and makeup from your face. Many facial cleansers contain surfactants that help lift impurities, leaving your skin clean and fresh. However, some surfactants can be harsh, stripping away natural oils and causing irritation. This is particularly true for sulfates, which are commonly found in many cleansing products.

To minimize irritation, it's important to choose products with gentle surfactants. Look for cleansers that use milder alternatives, such as cocamidopropyl betaine or decyl glucoside. These gentle surfactants effectively cleanse without drying out or irritating the skin, making them suitable for sensitive skin types.

Surfactants and Hair Care

Surfactants are equally important in hair care products, especially shampoos. They help to break down oils and dirt on the scalp and hair, making it easier to rinse them away. Many shampoos contain surfactants like sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) and sodium laureth sulfate (SLES), which are effective at creating lather and cleansing.

However, similar to skincare, not all surfactants are created equal. Some surfactants can be too harsh, potentially leading to dry or damaged hair. This is why it's crucial to consider the type of surfactants in your hair care products. If you have dry or chemically treated hair, look for shampoos that use sulfate-free formulas or gentle surfactants. These alternatives can cleanse without stripping moisture from your hair.

Effects of Surfactants on Skin and Hair

The effects of surfactants on your skin and hair largely depend on the type of surfactant used in the product. Gentle surfactants can help maintain hydration and leave your skin feeling soft and clean. In contrast, harsh surfactants can lead to dryness, irritation, and a compromised skin barrier.

In hair care, surfactants help remove build-up and excess oil, but using products with harsh surfactants too frequently can result in dull, lifeless hair. It's essential to balance effective cleansing with maintaining the health of your hair and skin.

Conclusion

Surfactants play a critical role in cosmetics, influencing how products cleanse and interact with your skin and hair. While they are essential for effective cleaning, it's vital to choose the right surfactants to avoid irritation and dryness. By opting for products with gentle surfactants, you can enjoy clean, healthy skin and hair without compromising their natural moisture. Understanding surfactants in cosmetics helps you make informed choices about the beauty products you use every day.
