In the US there are few banned additives in skincare. For people who are struggling with acne and other skin issues what we use to clean/treat our skin can be just as harmful as what we’re putting inside to help heal/cure the acne.
Currently the US has only 11 banned additives/ingredients banned. While Europe (where many less people struggle with acne) has over 1300 banned products.
While there are many holistic brands that can help, based on what I’ve researched for my own skin issues I’ve found the majority that help my skin are not based in the US. I think that banning these harmful chemicals that are making people who struggle with acne’s skin barriers worse it would help Americans (majority teens who are already struggling with so much just being teens) who are using these products to help heal themselves to feel better.
