So You Think You Can Trust that Label?

Marketing can be problematic. Sometimes it makes promises that we can quickly dismiss as hocus pocus: "Lose ten pounds in one week consuming only chocolate and diet coke." Other times, however, marketing claims seem thoroughly plausible.

Many skincare products, for instance, claim that ingredients "won't clog pores." (This same claim sometimes manifests as "non-comedogenic.") While we'd like to believe that everything that makes it onto a label is accurate, this is not always the case. Sometimes you need to flip the bottle over and peruse the ingredient list to determine if the claims are fact or fiction. Acquaint yourself with some of the pore-clogging ingredients below to inform your next shopping venture.
