Hi! I've been enjoying watching your channel and it's nice to see a newer RU-vidr out here. I have one thought I hope you'll consider in relation to what you said about the Tula sunscreen. I'm genuinely just very passionate about this and want to bring more understanding to this. The "clean beauty" craze has been a very successful marketing scheme over the last several years, and it's been great as far as providing more options for plant-based, cruelty-free, etc., but it's also convinced a lot of people that preservatives and stabilizers are bad, which is simply not true. I can't say I'm an expert, but many cosmetic chemists talk about why these ingredients are so important in makeup and other products (especially sunscreens which protect our health). The words we use are really important and often it's really easy to say things based on what the marketing and other people have said, but I would encourage you to look into this more. This type of rhetoric against preservatives, additives, and "chemicals" in general is not just about makeup and skincare, but is also plays to food and eating habits and can really damage people through disordered eating patterns and anxiety. Not saying anything marketed as clean beauty is bad and we shouldn't use it, but we should be careful about the messages we promote, especially when they're based on fear and not actual data or truth. Also worth noting is terms like "clean" and "natural" are not regulated, so they can be used by without having to meet any threshold of proof or verification, meaning companies can really just stick them on whatever they want. Thanks!
Hi thanks for your comment! I definitely agree, there’s nothing wrong with preservatives and stabilizers :) I’m happy you can share your knowledge on this, I can see how passionate you are on the topic and I’ll definitely look further into this!
