@ascending33 Seconding this. And the people I know that do use the “I can’t pronounce it” argument do in fact think “long word“ = toxin, which is ridiculous.
@aldredian To clarify, our pediatrician said something similar, but she meant it in the context of the shorter the ingredient list, the more easily you’ll be able to figure out what ingredient caused a reaction if there is one.
@sunrise1471 Came here to say this. Most ingredients have several different names. I’m really into skincare ingredients and I can easily say Evening Primrose. Oenothera Biennis is a little tougher. I will still be using Oenothera Biennis.
