Knowledge is power
Because the beauty industry is self-regulated, it is very important as a consumer to stay informed on what is in your favorite products. Here at LASHFOOD, it is our mission to simplify clean beauty by being as transparent as possible with our ingredients, sustainable practices and commitment to green living.
Peptides & Amino Acids
Amino acids are an essential component in the production of keratin. Keratin is a complex protein that makes up 85-90% of your hair. These are crucial to hair health because amino acids are not essential meaning that our bodies do not naturally produce them. Amino acids also aid the production of red blood cells in the body, which in turn can stimulate follicle growth.
Medicinal Herbal Extracts
The power of nature is on your side. Organic plant-based ingredients have been used as medical remedies and treatments for centuries. In fact, over 80% of the world's population use plants as their primary medicine. Herbal extracts have anti-inflammatory and therapeutic properties to prevent irritation, swelling and redness.

THE BLACKLIST
What you will never see
Paying attention to what is in our beauty products lays the foundation for us to live our most healthy lives and here’s the laundry list of ingredients that we will avoid at all costs.
WHAT IT IS
A commonly used preservative that is used to extend the shelf life of beauty products. They are often used to prevent the growth of bad bacteria and mold.
WHY WE DON'T USE IT
The problem with these additives is that they are easily absorbed into the skin and studies have confirmed that parabens mimic estrogen in the body. Therefore linking them with reproductive organ harm, hormone-related cancers and obesity.
WHAT IT IS
A synthetic chemical that creates a high performance scent
WHY WE DON'T USE IT
FDA regulations do not require the listing of individual fragrance ingredients. Unregulated fragrance chemicals often contain phthalates; a toxic chemical that has been linked to reproductive and hormonal harm in men and women.
WHAT IT IS
A synthetic surfactant used in most beauty products is to create lather.
WHY WE DON'T USE IT
While not inherently toxic, sulfates are often converted into sodium laureth sulfate through a process called ethoxylation. 1,4-dioxane is a by-product of this process and has been listed by the EPA as a likely carcinogen.
