Which Ingredients are the worst eco-offenders in Mainstream Cosmetics?

Here are a few in my list to be aware of:

 

1. Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS) and Sodium Laureth Sulfate (SLES)

2. Retinyl Palmitate, Oxybenzone and Octyl Methoxycinnamate (in common sunscreens)

3. Triclosan

4. Hydroascetyl Alcohol

5. Dibutyl Phthalate

6. Catalase

 

I found this great video. I highly recommend it!
