The number one reason to check your products ingredients is to see if the product can be harmful. Most of the skincare and cosmetic products on the market may contain preservatives, parabens, alcohols, sulfates, essential oils, and other ingredients, which can trigger irritation and/or skin damage - especially in people with sensitive skin and already damaged skin. In fact, almost all cosmetics contain preservatives, which keep them fresh for longer and prevent the growth of harmful bacteria and microorganisms inside the package.

Another reason is to identify any allergy or sensitivity. In some cases, your skin doesn’t respond well, even to “clean” cosmetic products. That happens mainly to people with sensitive and reactive skin types.
