Choosing a shower gel that doesn’t contain ingredients that are problematic for your health or the planet can prove to be tough. Indeed, many shower gels contain highly controversial ingredients such as phthalates, certain parabens or silicones, MIT (Methylisothiazolinone), CMIT (Methylchloroisothiazolinone), or Petrolatum 🙁
Fortunately, there are products whose compositions are free from these risky substances and which represent a better option.
