Here’s Why That’s a Problem
When you buy a moisturizer, serum, or shampoo, do you ever stop to think about what you're actually paying for? Here’s a little-known fact: most skincare and haircare products are made up of 70-80% water. That means you’re paying for water, fillers, and preservatives rather than high-quality, active ingredients that truly benefit your skin and hair.
Why is this a problem?
- You’re Paying for Dilution – Traditional beauty products are mostly water, which means the concentration of beneficial ingredients is much lower than you think. This leads to lower effectiveness and the need for more product usage over time.
- Preservatives Are Necessary in Water-Based Formulas – Water breeds bacteria, so traditional skincare and haircare products need preservatives to prevent contamination. Many of these preservatives can disrupt your skin’s microbiome, leading to irritation, dryness, or even breakouts.
- Unnecessary Fillers and Emulsifiers – To keep water-based products stable, brands add fillers, emulsifiers, and thickeners—many of which do nothing for your skin or hair but make the product feel luxurious.
- Environmental Waste – Producing and shipping products that are mostly water contributes to excess packaging waste and a larger carbon footprint. You’re essentially transporting something you already have at home—water.
