Demystifying Cosmetics Labels: A Guide to Understanding Ingredients

Navigating cosmetics labels can feel like deciphering a foreign language. At XJ BEAUTY, we believe in transparency and consumer education, so here's a brief guide to understanding your cosmetics ingredients.

Ingredients are listed in descending order of concentration. The first few ingredients usually make up the majority of the product. If a sought-after ingredient is listed towards the end, it's likely present in a smaller amount.

Look out for active ingredients, typically found at the top or in a separate section on labels. These have a specific action on the skin, such as anti-aging or acne-treatment.

Terms like 'paraben-free', 'sulfate-free', or 'fragrance-free' can be beneficial, especially for sensitive skin. Parabens and sulfates can be irritating for some, while 'fragrance' often covers a range of undisclosed ingredients.

Lastly, labels like 'cruelty-free', 'organic', or 'natural' indicate ethical and sourcing practices. Be aware that regulations for these terms can vary, so consider researching the brand's standards.

Understanding cosmetic labels empowers informed choices. At XJ BEAUTY, we're committed to providing transparent information, ensuring our customers know what they're applying to their skin. Let's demystify beauty together.
