For cosmetic and non-cosmetic products, it is of fundamental importance to know how to read the labels correctly so that you can purchase with complete peace of mind
When it comes to labels, you have to be very careful. Allergens and petrolatum are around the corner, especially for cosmetic products which risk causing problems, even very serious ones. Even beauty products that can be comedogenic, that is, pore-clogging. Thus, instead of appearing more beautiful, the skin is damaged by ingredients coming from oil.
A fundamental aspect, therefore, when purchasing a cosmetic is knowing how to choose, after a careful analysis of the labels, which we remember by law must always be clearly present on the products and displayed correctly. A name that contains “organic” is not always really made with natural ingredients, in the same way, a product that says it contains ingredients of natural origin does not always automatically contain others that can be truly harmful to your health. Sometimes it’s simply about strategy marketing.

If the first ingredient found on the label, for example, is alcohol, it means that this is precisely what is contained in the greatest quantity. In fact, the earlier you read about an ingredient, the higher the percentage contained in the final product. It goes without saying that if alcohol were indicated as the first ingredient, it would not be a product worth taking into consideration.
In food products, allergens are highlighted with a different color, for example gluten, peanuts. The expiry date under the “best before” heading is the maximum date in which it is guaranteed that the product actually has the same consistency, smell and flavour. Obviously products beyond that date can be consumed, if nothing has changed in appearance, smell, shape or taste.
Saturated fats and sugars in high quantities denote a lower quality of the product. Obviously, we must always favor good products because they have a clean label, compared to those that have a catchy name, but a label that is not at the top. Sometimes it is a mere marketing strategy, some producers try to captivate and attract a segment of consumers who are more attracted to healthy and genuine products. Obviously, by knowing how to read the labels correctly, there is less risk of making mistakes.
