It is a little truth about household chemicals

1. Shampoo on structure a little in what differs from shower gel therefore they are easily replaceable.

2. The country the producer – an important indicator of quality. Fructis of the Russian production and French – different shampoos. For developing countries cheaper ingredients in smaller quantities are used (all the rest – water), production of EU is under more strict control (less risk that in a tub with your favourite lipstick the can with casein glue will fall that happens), in Europe the quality standards are more strict. In other words, for EU do more expensive and dense shampoo, than for the Russian market. Therefore buy what is made in Europe for the European company.

3. Read labels. The structure of a product is listed on decrease of mass of ingredients. For example, if it is written: "Structure: water, soda, salt … some unclear words …. oil of grape seeds the point", it means that for 99% your shampoo consists of water. Oil of grape seeds there too got, but in the form of three drops on a megaton barrel. If the description of composition of your favourite hand cream begins with the words "vaseline, paraffin", then throw out it in a window leaf and buy bank of vaseline. Most likely, except these two ingredients and couple of fragrances coded in Latin names there is nothing. Yes, by the way, as it is regrettable, bombs for bathtubs of LUSH for 99.9% consist of soda therefore their prime cost – about 30 cents (at the price of 300 rubles). There is couple more of drops of essential oils and a fragrance, but it is simpler to make such bombs.

4. Dear parents, the laundry detergents "Aistenok" and "Big-eared Nurses" are made in Russia (read the second point). "Big-eared nurses" it is made at Nevsky Cosmetics factory that, generally, 30 as does not inspire years trust, "Stork" is made on unknown Russian production. On structure these powders differ in nothing from "adult powders" — all this simple marketing. Buy the liquid concentrates made in Europe for the children.

5. Any laundry detergent for 80% consists of ballast to please the buyer with a big box. And, by the way, these blue and krasnenky tochechka in laundry detergent – too ballast, and not so some mythical active agents. Buy liquid concentrates, it is more economic, they are not so harmful to the nature as powders which get to reservoirs and pull down an ecosystem.

6. Conditioners for color and white linen on the chemical composition are identical. Differ only with labels.

7. The biggest deception is that washing machines break from a scum and therefore it is necessary to buy Calgon. Do not trust!
Machines from it do not break, and the laundry detergent Calgon differs in nothing from others.

8. Sad news to the Russian animal activists: if on goods it is written that it was not tested for animals, it does not mean that in Russia any rabbit did not suffer. The matter is that for entry into the Russian market any cosmetic product has to pass millions of SanPiNs which were thought up in 70-80 in the USSR, including tests on animals. Nobody cancelled them even for Green Mama and Body Shop. Another thing is that the company can not conduct these tests independently, and give the ink to the Russian contractor who will dig in this ink in eyes to a rabbit until his retina reddens.
