Busting Myths Surrounding Personal Care Ingredients
Personal Care
Have you been associating chemical ingredients with your child's skin and hair damage?
If yes, then you're not alone.
Parents, as they need to be, are very particular about their children's health and well-being. So, it is only natural to read the product's packaging thoroughly before buying it for your child.
But here's where most parents go wrong when shopping for personal care products.
It is good to look for safe, natural and gentle ingredients for children and teens. But ruling out a set of ingredients because they have names that sound like chemicals isn't always the answer.
It is advised by skin and hair experts that it is essential to read the ingredients behind personal care products and research them ourselves. This means understanding where these ingredients are derived from, their benefits, and their probable side effects if any.
Sometimes, personal care products claiming to be all-natural can also include chemical ingredients that may be overlooked by most parents. And sometimes, products that use only natural ingredients can be mistaken for harmful chemicals when read on the package!
We are here to help parents figure out what is best for their children regarding personal care.
To get started, let's understand the origin of most of the ingredients used in the making of Tikitoro products. All of our ingredientsare nature-driven and vetted by experts for safety and efficacy.
Now, a question may arise when reading the ingredients listed on our products.
Why do the ingredients sound chemical listed on the package when Tikitoro is 100% natural and safe?
The simple answer is that the natural ingredients used in our products are mentioned in their INCI nomenclature as required by law.
What does this imply?
The International Nomenclature of Cosmetic Ingredients (INCI) is a system that creates unique identifiers for cosmetic ingredients that are recognised globally. In other words, natural ingredients we are familiar with are not listed in their common names.
Therefore, according to the FDA norms, all of Tikitoro's ingredients that are derived from nature are listed in their INCI names and can be misunderstood as artificial chemicals.
To make your Personal Care shopping easier, we have collated the following list of Tikitoro ingredients with their common names, origins and INCI names:

Remember, this list is a resource you can frequently refer to before buying any personal care product. As per the FDA, Tikitoro is recognised to be a safe and gentle option for teens and children.
An example of a chemical ingredient is Ethanol. Ethanol is often derived from GMO sugar beets. This can be extremely harsh on gentle skin and must be avoided for children and teens. So when looking for the right products, it is vital to check for GMO-free ingredients.
Tikitoro products are certified allergen-free and use non-GMO ingredients.
For safe, natural and gentle kids' personal care, a parent can never be too careful.
Natural is the right way. The Tikitribe understands this and is on a mission to spread more awareness of skin and hair care for teenagers and children around India.
