Skincare is a personal journey, and finding the right products can make all the difference. While the skincare industry offers a plethora of options, not all ingredients are created equal. At Obvs Skincare, we prioritise your skin's health and vitality, which is why we avoid these harmful ingredients that can do more harm than good:
1. Parabens:
Parabens are synthetic preservatives commonly used in skincare.
Several studies show that parabens may mimic estrogen in the body and disrupt hormonal balance, potentially leading to reproductive and developmental issues. Butylparaben and its alternative form, isobutylparaben and isopropylparaben and propylparaben have the strongest estrogenic activity among those widely used in personal care products.

Obvs Skincare opts for paraben-free formulations to ensure your skin stays in harmony with your body's natural balance.
2. Sulphates:
Sulphates, such as Sodium Lauryl Sulphate (SLS), are detergents that create lathering and foaming in skincare products.
They can strip your skin of its natural oils, leaving it dry, irritated, and vulnerable.
Obvs Skincare embraces sulphate-free alternatives to cleanse your skin gently, maintaining its moisture and natural defences.
3. Synthetic Fragrances:
Synthetic fragrances are added to many skincare products for a pleasant scent.
They often contain numerous undisclosed chemicals, triggering allergies, headaches, and skin irritation.
Obvs Skincare is committed to transparency, using only organic essential oils to enhance your skincare experience without compromising your skin's health.
4. Mineral Oil:
Mineral oil is a common occlusive agent found in many skincare products, like moisturisers and balms. It forms a barrier on the skin's surface, clogging pores and hindering its natural ability to breathe.
Obvs Skincare opts for lightweight, non-comedogenic oils that nourish your skin without blocking its essential functions.
When you choose Obvs Skincare, you're choosing products that are free from these harmful ingredients, giving your skin the care it deserves. We believe in promoting skin health, not compromising it, and our formulations are carefully crafted to provide effective and safe solutions for all skin types.
Your skin is a reflection of your overall well-being, and Obvs Skincare is here to support your journey to healthy, radiant skin. By avoiding these damaging ingredients, we ensure that every product we offer contributes to your skin's long-term health and beauty. Say goodbye to harsh chemicals, and say hello to the natural, nourishing ingredients that Obvs Skincare brings to your daily routine. Your skin will thank you for it!
