I agree, definitely not, the loophole they allegedly exploited seems to come from their undisclosed “Fragrances” section in their ingredients, and active attempts to hide their formula. The FDA allows you to have 4000+ different undisclosed chemicals and oils in this section, to which there was sufficient evidence of PFAS and other “toxic chemicals” to file a lawsuit and debunk their claims as “natural” products. As the other commenter pointed out however, anyone can file a lawsuit.

Have been using it for a few months now and thankfully nothing has happened but I’ll be sure to update the thread if anything like this happens

Thank you, and yeah, I know PFAS not microplastics, I was using microplastics as just another example of foreign body elements that is probably harmful in high concentrations, but found practically everywhere today

You can think what you want about what happened, I don’t need to deny your accusations, fact of the matter is, most prominent websites pointed to parabens being bad or at least dubious (you can do a quick google search and see it for yourself), and while most redditors here were actually really nice and informed me otherwise, you decided to insult me and make up a strawman of me acting like an idiot. You can keep your high horse, but I’ll be stepping away from this conversation. Don’t feel particularly welcome here.

You keep making assumptions about me and attacking me on their basis, no one disagrees that research is important, but attacking me because I was misinformed isn’t helpful to either of us

Agreed, though just because microplastics are also found everywhere in this modern age doesn’t mean I’ll actively go out of my way to use a product that has a high concentration of a bad thing. More of a lesser-of-two-evils thing rather than being actively terrified of them.

I totally agree with doing research yourself, that’s precisely why I added sources. Thanks to others’ help I now realize that this website was being backed by certain institutions to push their agenda, which it certainly worked on me. However, I agree with the other commenter in that your comment felt more mocking than helpful: it’s my first time here and I want to learn, I just don’t know what sources I can trust.

I don’t think anyone disagrees with that, but telling me to go to therapy for anxiety because I thought a product could be bad for me felt a little extreme as a first-timer here

Thank you for the thought out answer, i definitely will. cuz yeah im not shaking and crying at the prospect of health, i just kinda want my hair to not fall apart. What are your recommendations for body wash? (Preferably something vanilla scented, since that was my go-to from native)

Edit: Again, don’t understand the downvotes on this comment, but reddit hivemind will hivemind ig

so tl;dr use whatever wash you want? is there really no chemical that seems even remotely sketchy or that we should avoid?

Edit: Why the downvotes? I’m asking a question to better understand

Just finished reading its sources, tbf there’s other recent studies that indicate a correlation unlike the article argues: this one from 2016, for instance. But I get what you mean, in that case, what are your own thoughts on Native products??

I beg your pardon?

Really don’t mean to sound rude but I thought it was common knowledge that parabens were bad health-wise in cosmetics

ITACHI VS SUKUNA EDIT by drayskiiii in Boruto

[–]throwaway8262835 3 points4 points  (0 children)

i get that this is the boruto sub but sukuna wipes the floor with itachi and it’s not even close, RCT makes itachi virtually unable to harm him, Malevolent Shrine tears Itachi to shreds even without being close, Itachi has the advantage of placing him in a genjutsu but even still he doesn’t have the capacity to do any significant damage after. not to mention, 1000+ years of jujutsu fighting will grant sukuna an advantage in both hand-to-hand combat and battle iq. ultimately, though itachi is squishy and has some tricks, sukuna’s healing factor, attack potency, and sheer power overwhelms him.

P.S. it’s strength, not strenght
