St. Botanica's Skincare Products: Which Ones to Pick and Kick

 Like other companies, St. Botanica also claims that using its product will only benefit you. However, the company's claims do not match their ingredient list. Someone has to take the responsibility of telling people what harm is caused by the toxic chemicals used by the company to make the products. This responsibility is the basis of this article in which I have listed the ingredient list of more than 300 skin care products of St. Botanica.

This "pick and kick" series article has been made by analyzing, so that you will know which products of St. Botanica to pick and which ones to kick.



If you are reading the "Pick and Kick" series article for the first time, then for your information, let me tell you that in this article, I have analyzed the ingredient list of the product and divided it into 2 categories. The first is the "kick" category, which includes products that either have incomplete ingredient lists or contain toxic ingredients. In the "pick" category, there are products that do not have any toxic ingredients in their ingredient list and you can buy them without any worries. I will highlight important headings by bolding them to make it easier to navigate.

So, let's start with the kick category.

First of all, I analyzed 27 hair shampoos of St. Botanica. If you read their ingredient list, you will find artificial fragrance, Methylchloroisothiazolinone, and Methylisothiazolinone. Currently, there are proven scientific studies that show that Methylchloroisothiazolinone (MCI) and Methylisothiazolinone (MI) are carcinogenic ingredients because this form releases aldehydes. Since I kicked them, you shouldn't use them.

Now, let's talk about hair conditioner. Brands that have been formulated using the toxic ingredients methylchloroisothiazolinone and methylisothiazolinone. In 2013, The European Scientific Commission on Consumer Safety (SCCS) recommended against using leave-on cosmetic products because of the cancer-causing potential of MCI and MI. Apart from this, the company uses artificial colors and neurotoxic ingredients like phenoxyethanol to make these products. So you should kick these products.

Now let's talk about St. Botanica's hair serum and hair mask. These are products for which artificial fragrance has been used. Artificial fragrance is the root cause of diseases. Their use can lead to diseases like diabetes, thyroid, PCOS, and cancer, as well as it is common to be allergic to the chemicals used to make them. That's why it is good to stay away from artificial fragrance, so kick the product.

Now let's talk about creams and serums. For your information, I have written the names of toxic ingredients along with the name of the product in the article. Apart from this, there are many other products in which Phenosyethanol is used. Google the side effects of these ingredients, and identify these ingredients which can cause harm to you. That is why you should avoid these products. Must kick.

Let's talk about face wash, face and body scrub. To make such products, toxic chemicals like Phenoxyethanol, Disodium Edta, Methylchloroisothiazolinone, Methylisothiazolinone have been used, which will not only harm your skin but can also cause serious health issues. These products can cause allergies, skin irritation, and disrupt the endocrine system, which can lead to hormonal imbalances. It is best to avoid these products and opt for natural and organic alternatives. So, kick them off your shopping list.

In conclusion, it is crucial to pay attention to the ingredients list of the products we use on our skin. Companies like St. Botanica may claim to be natural and safe, but their ingredient list tells a different story. It is our responsibility to educate ourselves and make informed choices when it comes to our health and well-being. By avoiding products with toxic chemicals and opting for natural and organic alternatives, we can protect our skin and overall health. Thank you for reading this article, and I hope it helps you make better choices in the future.
