The Truth About Fillers: 5 Harmful Ingredients You Won’t Find in Au Natural Products

The Truth About Fillers: 5 Harmful Ingredients You Won'T Find In Au Natural Products - Au Natural Organics

Why Ingredient Transparency Matters

You pay attention to food labels. So, why don’t you do the same for your skincare and haircare items?

Many beauty products contain “fillers” – synthetic ingredients that may enhance consistency, extend shelf life, and create rich lather. But they do nothing to improve your skin or hair. Worse, they can cause irritation, allergic reactions, and serious health concerns.

Our Philosophy at Au Natural Organics

If it’s not truly good for you, we don’t include it. We believe in pure and powerful formulations from nature—not a chemistry lab. That’s why we proudly provide a “free-from” list to show you we care.

Ingredients You’ll Never Find in Our Products

1. Parabens (e.g. Methylparaben, Propylparaben, Butylparaben)

What they are: Synthetic preservatives used to prevent bacteria and mold in beauty products.

Why we avoid them: Parabens can mimic estrogen, raising concerns about endocrine disruption. We choose safer, natural alternatives.

The Au Natural Difference: We use gentle plant-based preservatives and smart formulation techniques to keep products fresh—without parabens.

2. Sulfates (e.g., SLS, SLES)

What they are: Harsh detergents that create foamy lather in shampoos and cleansers.

Why we avoid them: Sulfates strip natural oils, irritate skin, worsen eczema, and fade hair color.

The Au Natural Difference: Our cleansers use mild, naturally derived surfactants that cleanse gently and preserve balance.

3. Phthalates

What they are: Chemicals used in synthetic fragrances and flexible plastics. Often hidden under “fragrance” or “parfum.”

Why we avoid them: Phthalates are potential endocrine disruptors linked to reproductive and developmental harm.

The Au Natural Difference: We use no synthetic fragrances—only essential oils or fragrance-free formulas. No phthalates, ever.

4. Synthetic Dyes & Artificial Colors

What they are: Petroleum or coal tar-based dyes used to enhance visual appeal. Labeled as “FD&C” or “D&C” followed by color and number.

Why we avoid them: These dyes can irritate skin, trigger allergies, and cause hyperactivity in children.

The Au Natural Difference: We use botanical ingredients that naturally create beautiful hues—no artificial colors needed.

5. Formaldehyde-Releasing Preservatives (e.g. DMDM Hydantoin, Quaternium-15)

What they are: Preservatives that release formaldehyde to prevent microbial growth.

Why we avoid them: Formaldehyde is a known carcinogen and allergen. Even small doses over time can be harmful.

The Au Natural Difference: We use safe, modern, natural preservative systems to protect your health and our product integrity.
