Do you fall for gimmicky ads? Are you lured easily by
false claims? And more importantly is it difficult for you
to tell the difference?
Unfortunately, with the growing trend and demand
for natural, pure and organic products, there are
many false claims that many brands across the
globe make.
Do you know that almost 7 out of 10 products in your
vanity contain dirty ingredients?
If this is something that concerns you, you are in the
right place.
If you're like me, then you’re always looking for new
ways to improve your health. It’s easy to forget that
your skin is the largest organ on your body, and
everything that’s put on it ends up in you. It doesn't
take a rocket scientist to figure out that we should all
be careful about what we put on our bodies.
So, girls, boys, it's time to detoxify! I'm talking about
your daily routine; get rid of the toxin-filled beauty
products you've been using and switch to toxic free
beauty products instead.
Zoobop makes it easier for you to make safer
choices. They are the world’s first personal brand
checker, and with just a simple bop you can get the
entire dope on your brand. One of the features to
check toxic free beauty online is that zoobop lists all
the potential toxic ingredients a brand carries across
all its SKUs. This makes it easy for you to see if the
brand you are checking is making false claims or
genuine ones.
Apart from that, Zoobop checks if the certifications
they claim are accurate and up to date and if the
brand is truly clean, cruelty free, and good for you.
Never again will you find yourself in a store wondering if
those shampoos, body washes or deodorants are
actually toxic-free. With a bop on Zoobop, get to know
everything about the brand, (the good, the bad, and
the ugly). We empower you to make healthier personal
care choices by giving you information.
Some beauty products can cause a host of problems
including hormonal issues, organ toxicity, cancer, as I'm
sure you're well aware. We've rounded up 6 reasons why
you should be switching to all-natural personal care
products.
1. Kind to your health
The results of using toxic products on our skin can be
disastrous. You may experience redness, rashes,
swelling and burning sensations that are caused by
some of the harmful ingredients in dirty formulated
cosmetics. To read more about this, check this link.
When checking details of your brand on zoobop.com
you can tap on any ingredients to understand why it
is good or bad in detail.
2. Kinder to the planet
Of course, dirty ingredients pose the greatest threat at
their sourcing, extraction and production stage. This is
true both for natural derived as well as lab made
ingredients. Do not be under the impression that only
synthetic ingredients are bad.
Many natural ingredients are terrible for the planet
because their extraction leads to deforestation as in
the case of Palm Oil or Petrolatum which is a crude oil.
The European Union lists Petroleum Jelly as a
carcinogen. Some Synthetics such as Oxybenzone
found in sunscreens is a known carcinogen ( cancer
causing) and is a serious eco polluter banned in
countries because it is not reef safe. At Zoobop we believe in Good for the Planet, Safe for
you for personal care products that we show you as
cleaner alternatives. A tap on any ingredient will tell
you why.
3. Protect your family
Choosing safe, toxic free products online can lower
this risk making your home a safer environment.
4. Cruelty-free beauty
In order for brands to be truly clean, they need to be
committed to being cruelty free as well. At
zoobop.com this is a simple check. No longer do you need to go to several places to
check if your brand is toxic free, green, sustainable,
certified and cruelty free. Zoobop gives you all the
dope in one simple BOP.
Buying verified CF brands helps you make better
choices for the planet.
5. Full of nutrients
One of the best qualities about toxic free beauty is that
the ingredients are actually good for you. These are
full of antioxidants that protect your skin from looking
dull and tired and reduce the appearance of signs of
aging.
6. Packaging
For a zoobop verified brand, it is important to follow a
clean carbon footprint which packaging is hugely
important. A brand can it call itself toxic free, if the
packaging it uses is cheap and polluting. Let’s face
less than 10% of the plastic actually gets recycled.
And when it does it gets down cycled. So always look
out for sustainable packaging, and brands that have
upcycling programs, take back schemes and offer
refills. Always upcycle when you can.. And reuse!!!
How to choose toxic free products online:
1. Research
So called toxic free beauty brands are everywhere.
However, you need to do your homework and look out
for false claims. Bopping is easy and fun and we have
done all the work for you.
2. Check Labels
Be sure to check the labels on the back of the product.
Ingredients change all the time and brands
reformulate. So, it is always good to check the product
to see what it lists.
However, not everyone has a chemistry major and
reading labels can be tedious! We understand … which
is why you should Bop and check the brand score and
tap any ingredients listed on the brand page to
understand why they are clean or dirty.
Zoobop is a unique, simple, and fun way to read the
ingredients of any personal care/cosmetic products.
It uses an ingenious system based on only three steps:
1) type in the brand name 2) click on the bop (see
what we did there?) 3) read the ingredients and tap to
know if they are safe or nah!
3. Read about the claims
Brands claim a lot of things but how do you know they
are not gimmicks? Before you invest in a brand, it is
always a good idea to run a background check to
verify their claims. Check for regulations and
certifications to authenticate these claims.
Zoobop does all the tedious work for you and checks
up on all these claims, so you do not get
greenwashed by their claims and make a better
choice for you and your family.
4. Packaging
Look for more bio friendly and compostable
packaging. Glass is also an amazing option since it is
reusable.
