if you see carbomer or poloxamer on the ingredients list, that’s plastic. just like acrylates, literally acrylic, plastic. before i knew about plastic in products i bought a hair gel and the first ingredient is plastic (vp copolymer), and it’s supposed to be a natural brand. it’s also very hard to find beauty products without acrylates. especially lip products and eyeliner, yk lip products you end up ingesting.

silicones aren’t seen as plastics but they still shed microplastics basically and they’re in everything. shampoo, conditioner, lotion, hair products
