Did you know that here at February Farms we make our own soaps and skincare products? Stephanie, our owner, spent many years as a licensed medical aesthetician and countless hours researching ingredients and formulations. One of the biggest takeaways is, most cosmetics are poison. The US has much lower standards than most other countries. This isn't just for cosmetics, but across the board. (Look up your favorite food labels from the US vs the EU, the US formulation has many more chemicals.)
Some ingredients banned in the EU but allowed in US cosmetics include:
Formaldehyde
Hydroquinone
Triclosan
Lead
Parabens
Petroleum distillates
Phthalates
Selenium sulfide
Quaternium-15
