BRANDS ARE LYING TO YOU: CLEAN BEAUTY EXPOSED | Dr Dray

[@Minsooky]

Yes! Buying fewer products instead of buying “clean” products = much better for the environment. If you don’t need it, don’t buy it.

[@Heisquareman]

I HAVE to remember this when I'm at the store. If I don't need, I shouldn't buy it!!!!

[@whitepaper5241]

Yeah, some influencers really be telling us to care about the environment by buying clean, non-toxic and eco-friendly products, but at the same time, they also have hundreds of unused skincare products on their shelves and throw away some of them.

[@krdiaz8026]

Not difficult for me coz I have no money!

[@raerohan4241]

@@whitepaper5241 You have to remember that for influencers, a huge part of their job is to review products. They kind of have to constantly get new products in order to accomplish that. And honestly, that's not a terrible thing - personally, having a single person review a product and disseminate that info is better than having a ton of people buy it and then come to a consensus on whether it was good or not. Yes, this means they have a ton of unused makeup lying around, but they can only go through so much of it by themselves, especially when they have more coming in every day. They can also only give away so much of it to family and friends. They can't resell it or give it away to fans because it's a health hazard and it would cause liability issues for them. I guess a solution could be to use disposable applicators for everything to try and keep it sterile, but that would create waste in of itself. So not sure about what could be done. The only real issue arises when an influencer pushes the idea that you _need_ to buy a ton of different products or a specific product to accomplish something. And for that, you can choose if you want to follow that particular kind of influencer. I personally choose not to

So I've learnt my lesson never again. And also I don't like vaseline for slugging because it catches dust particles in the air easier which then causes me to break out.

[@kikiwikipi]

I have afro textured hair. My understanding of avoiding petroleum in afro hair care products is that once you put it on, it can prevent your daily hair moisturizer from getting to your hair shaft which can lead to dryness. A lot of people with afro textured hair moisturize their hair daily throughout the week and wash it once a week. So if you're using petroleum on your hair at the beginning of the week, are you sealing out moisture? I've never had any fear or concern with petroleum (vasaline) or mineral oil (baby oil) on my skin.

[@Oceangirl1234]

Part of the thing that pushes the whole 'all natural' maketing in skincare is what Dr Dray talks about @11:40 onwards- mineral oil derived products are associated with being common, working class or poor, where all the essential oils, exotic oils and butters are definite have a feel of luxury and 'handcraftedness' (even though these products are made in a factory) .

[@LittleMonstr16]

I think this gets overlooked so much imo. I used to be really into “clean” beauty and even when I started learning the truth about the science behind it I still hesitated to change over to products that don’t market themselves that way. Clean beauty’s marketing’s real strength is the fear that it creates but also the feeling of being “superior” in a way because it’s like you somehow know something that everyone else doesn’t and you’re healthier for it. All these plants and oils they use sound exotic which makes us assume they are somehow better only because we’re not familiar with them and they’re more expensive. There really is a lot of classism tied up with clean beauty that’s hard to see at first

You really should research and find out what ingredients are in your personal care products.

I suffered so much because I didn't know what was causing it. I went to 6 or 7 eye doctors and they told me to learn how to live with it and to keep using the ointment or my corneas will get scratched (Talking about fear mongering). I contacted the Boston dry eye institute and they told me I didn't have dry eyes because it doesn't cause that much pain. They referred me to an eye doctor in Seattle that day even though they had a 6 week waiting list. This doctor examined my eyes and told me that my eye were not dry. He examined them and said they looked like raw hamburger meat. He told me to stop using whatever I was using and to see him in Tacoma in 10 days. My eyes looked so much better. I was allergic to the stuff. My aunt can't use mineral oil to remover her eye makeup because they burn her eye so badly.

Thank You Thank You Thank You for this video. I get so mad hearing these BS claims from Clean Beauty brands.

I would love an updated Japanese sunscreen vid. I’ve seen so many changes to my favorite sunscreens. Bottles, ingredients, etc. I can’t find hada labo uv white gel anymore, skin aqua moisture gel has changed its bottles and ingredients. Kose suncut seems to have stayed the same. But an update would be awesome!!! Thanks for all you do Dr. Dray!!

Even today I saw a 'clean beauty brand' saying oh we don't put glycerin in our products it's no no. HA HA HA.

[@briannaruezga1432]

I know of products who DO use glycerin because it is good for your skin! What? So much confusion brands are causing and I'm sad! Love videos like this that debunk the misunderstandings.

[@stephaniepreston-mullins3262]

Omgosh, so much b.s. out there about glycerin, etc. I look for glycerin and good ingredients in my skin care, hair care & so on. This *Clean Beauty Movement* is a *CASH GRAB* by big brands and others! Drives me up a wall! 😆

[@mariaburger8774]

I bet it's because it simply sounds like "fuel" or "oil" and "clean" just sounds good, so it's easy to try to sell these ideas to simple minds... I was such a simple mind - now tried vaseline on my dry upper arms: finally ok! Thank you Dr Dray for all your informations!

[@katydid5088]

Vasiline is my holy grail product (along with dimethicone/oat Aveeno bum creme) for the itchy dry spots any season. Yeah it doesn't feel great in the sun, but if anything it encourages better sun protection habits because you don't want to feel like an oil slick.

Environmental footprint is something to be aware of, though. Plastic is a huge problem, and more companies should be looking into better packaging. But we also need to understand where our products are actually coming from. In other words, if a product claims to be eco-friendly, look into the company producing it to see how they make that product.

[@Respect44321]

Love Vaseline!! In the NICU they use it on baby bottoms, keeps them moisturized and helps prevent diaper rash since it’s a thick barrier. Works great!

Hey Dr. Dray. Gold bond has a product called strength & resilience moisturizer, in which the proteins & lipids are supposed to help with anti-aging… do proteins & lipids have any substantiated proof that they work for maintaining skin health & youthfulness?

"Pry it from my cold dead hands." I really did lol! Priceless! I have an ex that used to use vaseline all over his bod. He used to give me mini massages using it and it made me cringe and told him to not put that crap on me anymore. 5 yrs later and Im putting that crap on myself now...lol Glad opened my eyes to the clean beauty cult. Great proven points!!!

[@babycakes8434]

@ Michelle Tidler 😂😂😂😂it is funny how sometimes we change our views and habits complete 180 degrees😂😂😂I was never a fan of vaseline on my skin, probably because it felt bit itchy, and goopy on my skin. But it has been years when I used it last time, so I might try it again.

[@jessica-fcm]

Dr Dray, I don't have much storage options for skincare other than my bathroom, and it gets really hot and humid in there, and my CE Ferulic is oxidizing fast, so I'm considering buying the gosh darn it little skincare fridge lol. I know you made a video about it, but can I just ask, what products should I absolutely AVOID putting in the fridge? Is there a type of product that can change or get worse in the little fridge?

[@katydid5088]

For your bathroom trouble, you could put it in a kit n caboodle (basically a storage case) and keep that in your bedroom so the products don't go off. That's what I did in my crappy student apartment that I shared with 4 other people. No one stole anything, it was just crappy infrastructure and bad luck. We had a window and a dinky bathroom fan that never did anything to help air circulation.

[@raincandy3]

You can put it literally anywhere besides the bathroom. Even on your dinner table or closet. Same goes for any medicines. Never put anything you consume or apply in the "medicine cabinet".

[@jessica-fcm]

@@katydid5088 I'll have to try and to that, I guess. It just sucks also because of the convenience factor, having a sink to wash your hands immediatle before putting stuff in your face is somethng we only have in the bathroom

So the real question is why they don't demand cosmetic companies to prove their claims? Hype is supersceding science.

[@pbear7814]

Hype is superseding science. Perfect line for the past 17 months.

[@kangaroojumpoverrabbit10]

The reason. Large popular cosmetic companies like Mary Kay lobby and pay off the FDA in one firm or other.

[@llamawaldo]

I love the way you use nuance in your videos. Its hard to come by on youtube, honestly. I also appreciate that you touched on socioeconomic issues here. Far too many people see things as “this thing is good, this thing is bad” - with no room for discussing factors like marketing, anecdotal evidence, accessibility, and the fact that even though something is natural, *its not necessarily safe for you to use as a cosmetic.* Would I rather burn my skin experimenting with tea tree oil, or use vaseline without fear? Thank you for this vid!

[@rebecca3745]

Beauty hack: I put my first step cleansing oil in a clean 1 oz. (30ml) spray bottle and use it to apply Neutrogena Fragrance Free Body Oil (8.5 oz.(250ml) for $10 for at Walmart) all over my face, neck and chest (eyes closed, holding breath, holding 8" from face). The fine spray applies the perfect amount of oil that doesn't drip until you start massaging it in.

[@christinereilly3699]

Excellent idea!!!

[@FermiBubbleGummyBear]

I've been doing the same thing using one of the those travel-size spray bottles for a few months now and it's way more manageable to apply on the skin versus dripping it onto your hands and applying that way. Like you, I hold my breath because I'm not sure if there's any harm to breathing in aerosolized sesame oil. :P

Honestly he thinks or pretends he is pro environment and green beauty and has an understanding of what he talks about. Yet I watched a video of his bashing bar soap over it being unhygienic due to bacterial growth (lol). And several other ones that show his lack of understanding of how the skin works, basic microbiology or basic dermatology. Nothing against him personally except that he cashes in on selling his half truths.
