#SteampunkhairstudioEd

Updated: Sep 20, 2022

Its important to take care of

our skin. We recommend using

Organic skin care products. Below are ingredients of the skin care we use here at Steampunkhairstudio! We also compared Burtsbees to other "organic products"




We’ve been talking about al natural face products this week and next up is another face scrubbing product. We’re calling steampunkEd on products that say they are natural organic and they aren’t. So today I have a comparison for you Derma E versus Burts 🐝s. First thing I did was compare the ingredients and look up some of the ingredients derma E has posted on their sale ad on the amazon website. It is quite interesting the ingredients sound pretty okay n natural until I looked up this one

Phenoxyethanol is a germicidal and germistatic glycol ether, phenol ether, and aromatic alcohol often used together with quaternary ammonium compounds. Phenoxyethanol is an alternative to formaldehyde-releasing preservatives.In Japan and the EU, its concentration in cosmetics is restricted to 1%.

This information is online in the Wikipedia.

Is it safe is the question or natural?

On this website Campaign for safe Cosmetics would agree it’s not all healthy

or all natural. Here’s a small portion of what they say about Phenoxyethanol is used as a preservative in cosmetic products and also as a stabilizer in perfumes and soaps.Exposure to phenoxyethanol has been linked to reactions ranging from eczema to severe, life-threatening allergic reactions. Infant oral exposure to phenoxyethanol can acutely affect nervous system function.

FOUND IN: Moisturizer, eye shadow, foundation, sunscreen, conditioner, mascara, eye liner, shampoo, lip gloss, concealer, body wash, hand cream, blush, hair color, hair spray, lip balm, lotion, nail polish, baby wipes, baby lotions and soaps, soap (liquid and bar), shaving cream, deodorant, toothpaste, fragrance, hair removal waxes, hand sanitizer and ultrasound gel.

SteampunkEd says check their website

You have the ability to check for yourself o

if you have questions like is it organic, natural, and or healthy ingredients. Upon close inspection both products contain phenoxyethanol.

However Burts 🐝 doesn’t claim its 99% natural. We will keep searching for all natural scrubs and post soon. Thanks for reading Steampunk Ed from Steampunk Hair Salon.
