@purascans: Some of the products you use every day are packed with ingredients the brand never has to list — hidden behind one legal loophole. Fragrance body mists. On the label it just says "fragrance" — one word that can legally stand in for dozens of undisclosed chemicals, including phthalates linked to hormone disruption. A clean fragrance brand actually discloses what's in the bottle. Mouthwash. Many run on alcohol and artificial dyes like Blue 1 — swished around your mouth twice a day. Alcohol-free versions skip both and work just as well. Scented wet wipes. The "fragrance" and preservatives sit right on skin, sometimes a baby's, wipe after wipe. Water-based wipes are mostly just water. Petroleum lip balm. It's a refined-petroleum base you reapply — and partly swallow — all day long. Beeswax balms do the same job from a plant base. Here's the catch: "fragrance" is a legal loophole. Brands don't have to tell you what's inside that one word. Scanned with the Pura App
