When it comes to natural beauty products, the ingredients list is key. But with so many different terms and claims on labels, it can be hard to know what to look for. Here are some key things to keep in mind when reading beauty product labels:

1. Look for the USDA Certified Organic label.

This label ensures that the product contains at least 95% organic ingredients and has been produced without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers.

2. Watch out for misleading claims.

Terms like 'natural' or 'organic' are not regulated, so they can be used even if a product contains only a small amount of natural or organic ingredients. Look for specific certifications or seals that verify a product's claims.

3. Pay attention to the order of ingredients.

Ingredients are listed in order of concentration, so the first few ingredients listed make up the bulk of the product. If the first few ingredients are synthetic or potentially harmful, it's best to avoid the product.

4. Research ingredients.

If you're not sure what an ingredient is or whether it's safe, do some research. Look up the ingredient on the Environmental Working Group's Skin Deep database or consult a trusted source for information on natural ingredients.
