Reading, from Meria.
On labels, fragrance and silicones, written from the ingredient lists themselves.

- Natural Fragrance vs. Synthetic Fragrance in Skincare: What You Should KnowWhat 'fragrance' really means on a label, why the FDA doesn't require disclosure, and how to tell if your moisturizer uses essential oils or undisclosed chemicals.
- Silicone in Hair Products: Which Kinds Build Up, and Which Don'tFour kinds of silicone, how each leaves the hair, and what 66 leave-in stylers actually contain. Which build up, how to clear them, how to read a label.
- Why Your Hair Feels Greasy After Styling ProductsThat midday grease isn't your hair — it's your product. Here's how to fix it.
