Ingredients That Are Not TBE Approved

Below is a list of ingredients that I don’t feel comfortable using. While I am not against using some synthetic ingredients (particularly for anti-aging), they need to be 100% safe, cruelty-free & eco-friendly as well as effective.

• Parabens
• GMO’s
• Sulfates
• Phthalates
• Parfum (synthetic fragrance)
• Triclosan
• C13-14 Isoparaffin
• Formaldehyde-releasing ingredients
• Mercury
• Coal Tar
• Lake Dyes
• Mineral Oil
• Petroleum and other petrochemicals
• Diazolidinyl Urea
• Bismuth Oxychloride
• Polyquaternium-7
• Dm Hydantoin
• SD Alcohol 40
• Isopropyl Alcohol
• Silicones (depends on source)
• Diethanolamine (DEA)
• Triethanolamine (TEA)
• 4-Methyl-Benzylidencamphor (4-MBC)
• Oxybenzone Benzophenone-3
• Octyl-methyl-cinnamates (OMC)
• Octyl-Dimethyl-Para-Amino-Benzoic Acid (OD-PABA)
• Homosalate(HMS)
• Phenoxyethanol (if used in amounts less than 1%, I’m not as squeamish)
• Palm Oil (non-sustainably sourced)
• Lanolin
• Hormone or endocrine disrupting ingredients
• Gluten

I also refuse to use or accept for review any products that have been tested on animals in any stage of creation.
