My thoughts:

I see various harmful ingredients lists posted on the hairboards. These lists never say what amounts are harmful though and never direct the reader to the scientific research the list was based on. And some of the lists are compiled by beauty companies looking to sell readers their "natural" products.

Without the ability to analyze the research these lists are based on, I choose not to regard them as seriously as perhaps the author intends. I choose not to let a list scare or intimidate me.

I am concerned about what I'm putting on or in my body, so I do read a product's ingredients list, but I also keep in mind the old adage, "All things in moderation".
