BEAUTYCOUNTER NEVER LIST: WHAT IT IS AND WHY YOU SHOULD READ IT
The following content may contain affiliate links. When you click and shop the
links, we receive a commission.
Beautycounter is having a HUGE “in-between” sale right now! Get your hands on
your favorite products while you can. Sign up here for more information!
If you’ve been reading my blog for a while, you know I LOVE Beautycounter. I now
own almost all of their products, even though I was hesitant to try their
skincare at first. But, I got hooked on their Dew Skin Tinted Moisturizer and
that led me down a path of slowing transitioning nearly all my makeup, hair and
body care products to safer options. And yes, I finally switched my skincare to
Beautycounter too.
One of the things I love most about Beautycounter is that they’re transparent
about what ingredients they use in all of their products. They’re also
transparent about what ingredients they will NEVER use, even if nearly every
other brand in the market does. But, with the latest investment by the Carlyle
Group and Beautycounter’s $1 billion valuation, the beauty industry is sure to
take note of what consumers want — and that’s better ingredients and more
transparency.
I switched to Beautycounter and other safe brands (like Primally Pure and Branch
Basics) once I learned what was in the products I was using (including high-end
brands and some drugstore ones). I truly had no idea the harmful things I was
putting on my body every single day. And I consider myself very well versed on
making healthy choices!
Since Beautycounter is no only available, I recommend swapping to brands like
Oliveda (read my Oliveda review here), Primally Pure (read my Primally Pure
review here), Crunchi (read my review of Crunchi makeup here) and ILIA (read my
ILIA review here).
BEAUTYCOUNTER NEVER LIST
Beautycounter has a “Never List” which is comprised of 2,800 ingredients
questionable or harmful chemicals that they never use as ingredients in their
products.
This includes the nearly 1,700 chemicals banned or restricted in personal care
products by the European Union, plus additional chemicals screened by
Beautycounter and found to be of concern. It says a lot of that there are more
than 1,000 other ingredients Beautycounter won’t use.
Sadly, most of the ingredients on the Never List are are allowed and very
regularly used in the United States. The EU is much more stringent than the US
when it comes to personal care product safety. And Beautycounter takes it a step
further and bans even more ingredients than the EU.
Using the Never List to evaluate your current skincare products is a great place
to start if you want to start to use safer beauty products. Some people switch
once they learn what’s actually in the brands they thought were safe (even
though recommended by their dermatologist). Others switch when they become
pregnant and realize that their products aren’t safe for their baby. Others
switch because they want to live a healthy lifestyle and realize that healthy
living goes beyond food and exercise. Skin care products can impact health too!
Honestly, some of this information is TERRIFYING and you can’t unlearn it. It’s
hard to believe that this is even allowed. But Beautycounter is working to
change it! It can be particularly challenging since many brands try to portray
their products as safe products with clever packaging and marketing. But if you
look closer, they’re not great options.
Below are some of the most commonly found ingredients in personal care products
that Beautycounter will NEVER put into their products. I also included an
explanation of what the ingredient is and why Beautycounter won’t use it.
BENZALKONIUM CHLORIDE
This disinfectant is used as a preservative and has been associated with severe
skin, eye, and respiratory irritation and allergies. It’s found in many
sunscreens , moisturizers and other creams.
Butylated hydroxyAnisole and Butylated Hydroxytoluene
These are synthetic antioxidants used purely to extend shelf life. But they are
likely carcinogens and hormone disruptors. They may also cause liver damage.
These are often found in lipsticks, moisturizers, diaper creams, and other
cosmetics. I switched to Beautycounter lipsticks and lip glosses and LOVE them.
COAL TAR AND OTHER COAL TAR INGREDIENTS
This is a byproduct of coal processing that is a known carcinogen. It is used as
a colorant and an anti-dandruff agent and is found in hair dye and shampoo.
ETHYLENEDIAMINETETRAACETIC ACID (EDTA)
This chemical is a binding agent that is added to cosmetics to improve
stability. Often used as a treatment for poisoning, EDTA may be toxic to organs
and is found in hair coloring and moisturizers.
ETHANOLAMINES (MEA/DEA/TEA)
A preservative and surfactant linked to allergies, skin toxicity, hormone
disruption, and inhibited fetal brain development. Because of its ability to
decrease surface tension, this chemical is used in hair dyes, mascara,
foundation, fragrances, sunscreens, dry-cleaning solvents, soaps, paint, and
pharmaceuticals.
FORMALDEHYDE
Used as a preservative in cosmetics, this known carcinogen is also linked to
asthma, neurotoxicity, and developmental toxicity.
Formaldehyde is often found in shampoo, body wash, bubble bath and other shower
products.
Hydroquinone
This skin-lightening chemical inhibits the production of melanin. And is linked
to cancer, organ toxicity, and skin irritation. It’s predominantly found in
skin-lightening creams that aim to reduce the coloring from freckles, age spots,
chloasma, and melasma. (Beautycounter’s Overnight Peel and Vitamin C serum can
help with these skin concerns without Hydroquinone.)
METHYLISOTHIAZOLINONE AND METHYLCHLOROISOTHIAZOLINONE
These chemical preservatives are among the most common irritants, sensitizers,
and causes of contact skin allergies.
These chemicals are often found in liquid cosmetics, hair color, body wash,
lotion, sunscreen, mascara, shaving cream, baby lotion, baby shampoo, hairspray,
makeup remover, liquid soaps, and detergents.
OXYBENZONE
This sunscreen agent is used as an ultraviolet light absorber. Oxybenzone is
linked to irritation, sensitization, and allergies, and possible hormone
disruption. It has also been known to be hazardous to the oceanic environment
including coral reefs. The state of Hawaii has banned the use of sunscreen
products containing oxybenzone starting in 2021.
This product is found in sunscreen, hair sprays, cosmetic products, and
moisturizers. I use Beautycounter’s lotion and stick sunscreen for my body and
CounterSun Daily Sheer or Dew Skin for my face SPF, every single day. They both
use non-nano zinc, a mineral-based physical sunscreen, instead of oxybenzone.
PARABENS (METHYL-, ISOBUTYL-, PROPYL- AND OTHERS)
Parabens are artificial preservatives in cosmetic and body care products. And
commonly used to prevent the growth of bacteria and mold. What’s particularly
concerning is that parabens are endocrine (or hormone) disruptors. Which may
alter important hormone mechanisms in our bodies. For instance, parabens have
been shown to mimic estrogen and when our bodies detect too much estrogen, this
can trigger an increase in breast cell division. And growth of tumors directly
linking it to breast cancer and reproductive issues.
Parabens can be found in shampoos, face cleansers, body wash, body lotions, and
foundations. This is a VERY common ingredient. But it is, thankfully, becoming
easier to find paraben-free products.
PHTHALATES (DBP, DEHP, DEP, AND OTHERS)
This industrial chemical is used to make products more pliable or to make
fragrances stick to skin. Phthalates disrupt the endocrine system and may cause
birth defects.
This chemical is found in synthetic fragrances like perfumes, nail polish,
hairspray, soaps, aftershave lotion, and plastic materials.
POLYETHYLENE GLYCOL (PEG COMPOUNDS)
PEGs are petroleum-derived compounds widely used in cosmetics as thickeners,
solvents, softeners, and moisture-carriers. Depending on manufacturing
processes, PEGs may be contaminated with measurable amounts of carcinogens that
are linked to cancer.
PEGs are found in creams, sunscreen, and shampoo. Yuck factor PEGs are made from
the main ingredient (ethylene glycol (ethane-1,2-diol)) in antifreeze. Yuck.
RETINYL PALMITATE (VITAMIN A PALMITATE)
Retinyl palmitate is an ingredient composed of palmitic acid and retinol
(Vitamin A). Data from an FDA study indicate that retinyl palmitate, when
applied to the skin in the presence of sunlight, may result in adverse health
consequences like lesions and photosensitization. FDA, Norwegian and German
health agencies have raised a concern that daily skin application of vitamin A
creams may contribute to excessive vitamin A intake for pregnant women and other
populations.
Retinyl palmitate is often found in anti-aging creams, e.g. retin-A and retinol
products. I stopped using my retinol product and replaced it with the Overnight
Resurfacing Peel.
SODIUM LAURYL SULFATE AND SODIUM LAURETH SULFATE (SLS AND SLES)
SLS and SLES are surfactants that can cause skin irritation or trigger allergies
related to eyes, skin, mouth, and lungs. SLES is often contaminated with
1,4-dioxane, a byproduct of a petrochemical process called ethoxylation, which
is used to process other chemicals in order to make them less harsh.
SLS and SLES are found in shampoo, body wash, bubble bath, conditioner, hair
dye, dandruff treatment, and styling gel. They are also found in shaving cream,
lip balm, hand sanitizer, nail treatments, makeup remover, foundation, facial
cleansers, exfoliants, and liquid hand soap.
SYNTHETIC FLAVOR OR FRAGRANCE
These engineered or lab-made scents or flavoring agents may contain any
combination of 3,000-plus stock chemical ingredients, including hormone
disruptors and allergens. So when people say they’re allergic to “fragrance”,
it’s not just scent – they’re allergic to something that is labeled “fragrance”
but you don’t actually know what that is.
Fragrance formulas are protected under federal law’s classification of trade
secrets and therefore can remain undisclosed. That means we have no way of
knowing what other chemicals or ingredients are used in these flavors or
fragrances. I use Branch Basics for this reason. It’s so hard to find a
fragrance-free AND paraben free laundry detergent!
Found in: all types of cosmetics, laundry detergents, body products, hair
products, EVERYTHING. You may be able to find paraben-free products. But it’s
very hard to find truly fragrance-free products that are also paraben free. If
you start with just one switch, look for products that don’t include “fragrance”
or “parfum” in their ingredient list.
TOLUENE
This volatile petrochemical solvent is extremely toxic to the immune system and
can cause birth defects. And irritation or damage to the skin, eyes, and
respiratory tract. It’s also a highly flammable agent.
Toluene is found in nail polish, nail treatment, and hair dyes. I use Dazzle Dry
for at-home manicures.
TRICLOSAN AND TRICLOCARBAN
Antimicrobial pesticides are toxic to the aquatic environment and may also
impact the human reproductive systems. It’s found in liquid soaps, soap bars,
and toothpaste. I use Beautycounter Body Wash and the Charcoal Bar in the shower
and keep their hand soap at EVERY sink in our house.
WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR YOU?
The moral of this post is for you to 1) pay attention to the ingredients that
are in your skincare regimen and each cosmetic product you use, and 2) consider
switching over to Beautycounter products or another safe, transparent brand. The
EWG Skin Deep app is a great place to start to evaluate the products you
currently use.
I’d encourage you to go look at 2-3 products you currently use and see what’s on
the label. If you don’t have the label on the container anymore, google the
product! And if you want to prioritize, a good place to start is replacing
anything you use on your entire body daily (e.g. body wash or body lotion). Or,
