Like every year, the magazine 60 million consumers publishes a special cosmetics special issue , which makes noise. And for good reason, over the pages nearly 160 everyday products , commercially available, have been carefully analyzed. Everything is scrutinized, their compositions but also their impact on health and the environment. Thus, like deodorants, another category of hygiene products has been deciphered:shower gels . The conclusion is final, finally...
To find out which shower gels to choose or avoid , the consumer association classifies them according to three criteria , which they themselves have defined as "preferred", to be used "for lack of anything better" and "to be avoided". Thanks to this scale, the experts identify problematic components such as the presence of allergens and endocrine disruptors, which can be harmful for some people. But not for everyone, hence the importance of taking this ranking with a grain of salt! Because a shower gel that contains these substances is automatically labeled in the "avoid" category, but it may be harmless for consumers who are not allergic to them.
With this methodology, 60 million consumers listed on one side the shower gels to choose and to use "for lack of a better" :Sanex Zero%; L’arbre vert, soothing shower cream with aloe vera; Label Bio, shower gel with aloe vera extract or Weleda, sensory awakening shower cream with pomegranate seed oil. And on the other hand shower gels to avoid , among them there are Garnier Ultra Doux Shower Care, Aleppo soap &rose oil; Dove Intense Nourishing Care Shower; Tahiti Gourmet vanilla shower; Dop shower cream with vegetable milk from the Pyrenees and Yves Rocher Shower bath with ylang-ylang tiare flower.
