Meanwhile, there may be safe products with the disclosed ingredient list, no way of knowing about the product whether it’s safe or not!

2. Don’t fall for labeling tricks

Natural, eco-friendly and non-toxic these terms are often written on these labels to draw attention from their potential buyers just because the labels has these names on it doesn’t mean that it is. Always verify your purchase look at the ingredients and judge for yourself.

3. Choose your options smartly
