Not too bad an ingredient list.. but there are a few that I find difficult to pronounce.. which is one of those rules that I like to use to test the natural aspects of a product. :rofl
The ingredient list for the facial soap we use reads like this: Palm Oils and Palm Kernel Oils, Olive Oil, Water, Glycerin. Hypo Allergenic. No coloring. It's about the mildest thing I've found. My daughter used to have problems with eczema before using soaps like this, and changing laundry detergents. Good soaps = no problems.
I don't know why companies use the long, complicated names of ingredients. I much prefer an easy to read ingredient list. That rule is kind of stupid. Just because you can't pronounce it, it is probably bad for you? That makes no sense.
First off I agree with you on #1. As for #2, perhaps I should have rephrased that as being 'comprehend' rather than pronounce since my pronunciation is quite good. Of course this is more meant to be towards the organic or biological or 100% natural products. Obviously long winded chemistry terms are not ALL bad.
I didn't mean "you" necessarily. Most people have heard that rule before, and for the average person it is just a stupid rule. Just because you can't pronounce "eugenia caryophyllus", doesn't mean it is a bad thing.
No fair enough, though I will admit for certain products (we are going on a minor tangent here folks, so apologies) I can not think of a reason for the Chemistry Mumbo Jumbo. Take Ice Cream for example. If you look at a typical batch of Ice Cream in the super market (and I am not talking the ultra-expensive here) there are so much stuff in there that frankly I have NO IDEA what it is there for other than to avoid using what is required. In any case, back on topic.. I'll just say that yes, companies should keep it simple when it comes to labels! Saves everyone trouble.
I've recently took countless semesters of chemistry along with organic chemistry. Most of those ingredients you can pronounce are preservatives, colorings, flavors, and smells. If you check out a list of commonly used organic molecules along with pre/post fixes you could possibly get a better understanding of whats in what. http://www.chemguide.co.uk/basicorg/conventions/names.html P.s. I think companies do a good job with putting the names of everything they use on the label. We went through the days when people got mad because companies didn't list all the ingredients in products and people felt they were unsafe. At least now you know.... Well, at least you can google the ingredient names
I don't tend to carry my laptop with me to stores. :ashamed001 Not that I'd get an internet connection if I did. :whacky011
Well, if you really want to get into it, smart phones like the IPhone and Verizon Voyager have full internet browsers on them that work anywhere where you get cell phone reception. I mean if you really wanted to, you could check the label in the store This is the information age
