"bad" ingredients with products

Have you ever received a product from picky, researched the company and product ingredients, then feel hesitant to use? Don't get me wrong, I LOVE YOU PICKY! I LOVE THE OPPORTUNITY! I just feel that it is my responsibility to give a review with all aspects of the product and sometimes the representing company. I get real hesitant after receiving and then researching. I mean, being an influencer and reviewing, taking pride in learning what I can for said review, then 😞. I have learned a lot, thanks to PICKY and wanting to be the best at what we all do. I need opinions. Yes, I know that maybe I should research before opting in to try a product. I mean, if I am uncomfortable with such products why apply. To me that's really half the battle. I apply to be like the common consumer. I review to share and enlighten and to give knowledge to those who I humbly appreciate reading my reviews. Let my picky people share what you thing and how you feel. Maybe some of you do not consider researching the ingredients and company and this discussion will open a new world of reviewing. maybe some just review how the product works. Am I alone in this?

Honestly, doing patch testing is your best bet here, especially if you feel iffy about certain ingredients. I feel that honesty is the best policy here - don’t sugarcoat things to appeal to the company. If it’s good, great! If you think it could use improvements (such as removing potential allergens or fragrances) mention it! It helps people who may potentially have sensitivity issues and it’ll be rewarding in the long run. I hope this insight helps! ❤️

My rule is: if I cannot understand the scientific name they put in the label ingredients then it means it's a total chemical and even those with numeric. Always research the ingredients first and don't rely on what only they called the "main ingredients" Always go to their website and look for the whole ingredients.

I agree.

I was scared of using spicules, but I tried it slowly and now am super impressed 👍 Definitely didn't do well with prostaglandin lash serums though, those were awful for making my eyes dry and irritated

I have downloaded the Yuka app, and according to it, 99% of the products I'm using are bad for anyone's health. Continue with your reviews even if you have to mention a negative aspect. That's what an honest review is supposed to be like.

Usually if the product intrigues me I just yk apply for it. But, yea sometimes I do it without thinking and find that maybe the product ingredients maybe aren’t so great. But, yea like others say patch testing and see how the skin reacts is a best bet and overall it’s not like it’ll be a reoccurring staple in for example my routine. Like they say a balance for everything ✨🫶🌿
