Recently in the bathroom of friends. A whole series of well-known brands in the shower, on the sink, on the tub.
We had previously talked about the health, hair, skin and nails problems of the woman, that's why it caught my eye. I grabbed a bottle and showed her what's in there. No reproach, no know-it-alls. Who brings a magnifying glass for shopping? And if it is quite big and legible "extremely nourishing" and "natural olive oil", what can be wrong?
The jaw dropped
I've just listed what's in the shampoo.
One in advance, please no blanket sweep of any chemistry. One or the other ingredient in a shampoo e.g. to prevent static electricity is anyway meaningful and harmless if it is used in small quantities. Otherwise back to the core soap, please.
Get an idea of how much chemistry and how little olive and nature is in this bottle. pictures above in the German text.
What many do not know: The order of the ingredients in the list on the packaging corresponds to the amount in the bottle. The first places occupy in the present case therefore quantitatively water and chemistry. Where do we find the "extremely nourishing" olive oil? In 8th place. Ooops.

Our friend is probably still counting, which is fragrance, chemical, artificial, hydrogenated, etc. and what of olive or nature in general and in what quantity. In any case, she no longer wonders about hair problems. One thing she understood. From now on only natural care will be applied to her body, as far as possible Lavylites. Because we have in the Emirates (without any "extremely nourishing" promises) so many examples such as atopic dermatitis, psoriasis, scars, stretch marks, wrinkles, crow's feet, allergies, sunburn disappeared and did not come back.
Here, the products are not yet to get everywhere, but came in small quantities privately by plane or piece by piece by mail. What a success it will be finally when people can buy it here in Dubai.
