Cosmetic Ingredients Guide

Description

Ingredient lists on skincare and cosmetic products are hard to read without some background. These lessons explain how labels are organised, what common skincare ingredients actually do, and how to judge the difference between natural and synthetic ones.

You learn which active ingredients have a clear purpose, which ingredients are worth avoiding, and how marketing claims on the front of a pack can differ from the list on the back. The last two lessons help you build a personal ingredient checklist and use it when choosing products. Several lessons include printable checklists and exercises to work through on paper.

Who it is for: adults who buy skincare and want to read ingredient labels with confidence.
