Natural products are popular, and so are many myths about them. Here are a few common ones, explained simply.

Myth: natural means always safe

Natural ingredients can still cause reactions. Patch test every new product.

Myth: more product means better results

Using more does not always help, and it can irritate the skin or scalp. Start with a small amount.

Myth: chemical means harmful

Many modern products are safe when used as directed. Read the label, check the ingredients and follow the instructions.

Myth: one product works for everyone

Skin and hair differ from person to person. Choose products that suit your needs, and be patient.

What to do

Read labels, test new products, and speak to a doctor for any health concern.
