It can also aggravate more serious conditions like eczema and dermatitis.  This is because fundamentally SLS is a harsh detergent and can strip the skin and hair of its natural oils.  So you’ll never ever see any SLS in Naked products – instead we use a cleansing and foaming agent derived from apple that is much softer and kinder to your skin.

Parabens – you’ll find parabens lurking in most toiletries.  They’re generally included because they are aggressive in destroying most of the bacteria that form in toiletries, but it’s this very same nastiness (slap an ASBO on them we say) that makes them a common irritant responsible for many skin allergies.  More worryingly, they are earning a bad reputation amongst those studying the causes of breast cancer.  There’s no conclusive evidence linking the two but that’s why we won’t put parabens in our Naked products.

Petrochemicals - Ingredients such as petrolatum, paraffin liquidum, mineral oil and silicone are added to many toiletries as smoothing agents for a quick result i.e. instantly soft skin or smooth hair.

Isn’t that fascinating? Especially when you consider that our testers reported feeling a warm glow on the skin after sung the bath salts…It is traditionally used in foot baths for sore feet and can be absorbed into the skin, helping to reduce inflammation, soothe muscle aches and pains, and soften rough skin.
