Are Natural Beauty Products Better? | Lab Muffin Beauty Science
“Are natural beauty products better for you?” “Should I try to avoid chemicals in my beauty products?” These is probably the most common question I get asked, so here’s your answer!
I talk about:
* What exactly is a chemical?
* What’s the difference between natural and synthetic chemicals?
* Are natural ingredients safer?
* Should you avoid ingredients you can’t pronounce?
* Should you reduce the number of chemicals you’re exposed to?

This topic was the reason I started my blog!
I dropped a laptop on my head while making this video and gave myself a concussion.
It took me about 20 takes to get myself to say all those chemical names properly…

Yes!!!! Its easy to fall into the natural hype. I unfortunately did and messed up my skin badly (huge breakouts, irritation and impaired skin barrier). Not to mention natural products end breaking the bank for the most part.
Thaks😘
Thank you for this Amazing video. This information is just as relevant now as it was 2 years ago. PLEASE do an in-depth video on essential oils. The world needs your scientific analysis made entertaining by your wonderfully sassy attitude. 💕
Such an important and informative video! 👏
6:28 Are there any natural ingredients for skin and hair that are actually proven to be effective? Or is it really impossible to say that certain natural ingredient really works because of the way peer-reviewed scientific experiments are conducted?
If there are any proven ones, please make a video on this topic. Thank you.
Yaaaas!!!!
This video was so informative! Finally someone is giving the answers I needed, thank you! 😊😊
Ji
No they are not lol ppl are so stupid natural stuff u develop an allergy to it
I’m going to screenshot that picture of all the chemicals in a pineapple as a weapon
Everything is a chemical but not everything is a man-made chemical
Cleopatra from Egypt was using natural ingredients and she is still in shape…
So crazy, um hello water is a chemical
I liked this video
I have so many different allergies and sensitivities she trying to find skin and hair care that won’t give me a flare up has been so daunting. Thanks for explaining the actual science behind all of this, I might be able to actually figure out which ingredients I need to limit and/or avoid ☮️
If people knew how many physiological functions happen inside a plant (and how many byproducts) they wouldn’t advocate for natural products. There are so many factors that can affect this reactions that you can never be sure what is inside a plant and in what amount. I mean, some plants are used to clean the soil from heavy metals because plants absorb and retain a million things from the environment. Why would anyone choose natural products where you can’t control what goes into it and the amount when specific chemical can be synthesized in a lab, without contamination and knowing exactly how much and what is in it.
Like it? I loved it! I’m so sick and tired of the "all natural" wave 🤨 like it’s clearly stated we just need to be well informed, that’s all.
Thnk u so much you are amazing
I LOVE that when you mentioned that a scientist couldn’t tell the two water molecules apart you said, She! I love your videos!
So satisfying listening to a knowledgeable person…
Little did they know human body composition is also made from mixture of chemicals hahsha
Loved this video ❤️ More people should see this 👏🏼
This is SO GOOD, so well explained, so very good delivered. Thank you.
Great, informative video. Keep on the good work👍
Nail tech here, I work in a day spa that also does facials body treatments etc. I regularly have clients that tell me how important natural ingredients are and how bad "chemicals" are, all while I am actively polymerizing plastics onto their nail plates. People are wild.
Can you talk about parabens please…there are may different opinions about them not sure what to think…
I hope no one thinks that synthetically colored, artificially flavored, sugar-free (but aspartame/sucralose sweetened) drinks are healthy after watching this.
You’re the best! For all the fear mongers out there 🙏🏼
I LOVE that you refer to scientists in this video as “she” and “her”. So great to represent females in science!!!!
I am British, living in Germany. Germans are obsessed with toxicity in cosmetics. They think i am nuts for using vaseline.😂
Actually you might be able to tell synthetic water apart from natural mountain water with isotope analysis, witch is really cool, but, yeah.
Thank you sooooo much❤️
I love science. Thank you for clear presentation.
LOVE this so much. There’s so much disinformation out there.
You are holy grail
This is great! thank you for the info and explanation.
I am trying to be more ecofriendly in the sense that I want to reduce the amount of plastic that I throw away. I want to start using a solid shampoo for example but I can’t find one that is NOT parabens free(etc). What I mean is that I want the same quality as my traditional shampoo and not to mention the certainty that it is made in a laboratory and not in someone’s kitchen. I think that established companies (small or large well-known brands) do not produce this type of product (solid shampoo with similar composition of a liquid one) since they could not be competitive with all this "natural" marketing, which is a shame because it would be a real benefit for the environment.
i’m not an expert this is just my point of view.
I’m Indian,Whatever you say there is no doubt. I stopped using shampoo and soap for a year I only used raw herbal powder like turmeric and shikai. I really have healthy and very long hair, and spotless skin👍
Wow
a very very well scripted video!!! thanks for the work
This is very, very interesting and enlightening. I have learned so much that I never knew and never would have imagined I’d come to find out, about the reality of the natural world… knowledge is power. Thank you. 🤔😊
That is the endless argument I always have with my relatives and friends 😭😭😭… natural doesn’t always mean better of safer !!
While the video is overall correct and I appreciate the motivation behind it to debunk both "omg this product got chemicals in it" as well as that not all "nature"-labelled (even eco-certified) products aren’t necessarily good for you, I wish this video would not make some substances such as Petrolatum seem like a "good thing" for one’s skin either. But I understand that this was more of a basic video to clear some general misconceptions many may have.
Snake poison is also natural
Let’s put it in face 😂
This video should be translated in every language and pushed on every single person‘s social media or phone without a possibility to scroll until fully watched!
Clear, informative and nerd! the best combination ever!!! Thank you😍🤓
Thank you for sharing.
I’m so sad and I feel so lost. I lost my Dad to cancer a month ago, and watching how fast he deteriorated was so shocking, I went on a total non-toxic spree. Threw out most of my makeup and was glued to EWG’s website only to find out they’re grifters. I feel so lied to. Thank you again for the clarification.
What a good video ! It would be very interesting if you make a video about what it’s a renewable and not renewable components, and how a chemicals impacts environment depending on their sources.
Thanks
Love this! I’ll be doing my video on natural products this week.

Good balanced info in this video.
Why do people think some of the best medicines for the worst diseases are found in nature? Chemicals in found in nature kill the best(worst?) disease causing organisms. Sometimes, it takes a strong chemical(toxin) to kill the best offender.
