The Dirty list
What are you feeding your skin every day? Nourishment or Toxins?
“Clean Beauty” begins with a clean, transparent ingredient list. As your body’s largest organ, your skin directly absorbs up to 64% of what you apply, sending it straight into your bloodstream. Without carefully examining the ingredients in our daily products, our bodies may be silently suffering from the toxic load of hidden chemicals.
At MI MING MART, we act as the gatekeepers for your health. We have established a strict “The Dirty List”, firmly banning 17 harmful ingredients that pose threats to your skin, health, and the environment. All our partner brands share this commitment to keeping these toxic chemicals completely out of your products.
17 Harmful Skincare Ingredients to Avoid
Parabens: Disrupts the endocrine system and estrogen receptors; highly likely to trigger skin allergies.
Artificial Fragrances: Poses potential cancer risks; may cause headaches, dizziness, rashes, and hormonal imbalances.
Formaldehyde: Irritates mucous membranes, damages the central nervous system, and is highly carcinogenic.
MCI/MI: Highly irritating to the skin; a common culprit for severe allergies and eczema.
Triclosan: Disrupts hormones, affects thyroid function and reproductive capabilities, and may cause cancer.
Phthalates: Adversely affects childhood development and reproductive system health.
Dimethicone: Creates a suffocating barrier that clogs pores and eventually dries out the skin.
Petrolatum and Paraffin: Blocks the skin’s natural respiration, trapping toxins, accelerating aging, and posing cancer risks.
Propylene Glycol: A petroleum byproduct. Its high penetrability alters cell protein structures and burdens the liver and kidneys.
Isopropyl Alcohol: Highly irritating to the skin; causes redness, allergies, dizziness, and rapid heartbeat.
Talc: Improperly filtered talc frequently contains asbestos residues, carrying severe cancer risks.
SLS / Sodium Sulfate: Strips the skin’s natural barrier, causing dryness, contact dermatitis, and premature hair loss.
PEG’s: Accumulates in the liver, weakening the immune system with potential cancer risks.
Chemical Sunscreen: Penetrates the bloodstream to disrupt hormones, and causes severe coral bleaching and death in oceans.
Artificial Colours: Easily triggers allergic reactions; some cheap dyes contain harmful heavy metals.
Hydroquinone: Forces a halt in melanin production, stripping skin of its natural UV defense; carries carcinogenic risks.
Plastic Microbeads: Non-biodegradable; flows into oceans and is ingested by marine life, causing ecological disaster.
