I'm probably preaching to the choir because we all love MK! But in case you have ever been out there in the world and heard this kind of statement, I wanted to share this info with you from one of our top Sales Directors👇
WHY YOU WON’T BUY MARY KAY #6:
“It’s not clean. It has toxic ingredients.”
Ohhhh, we’re going there. 😂
First, I’m ALL FOR knowing what you’re putting on your skin.
But I also want to know: where are you getting your information?
Because “clean” and “natural” are not regulated cosmetic safety classifications. There isn’t one universal standard that determines what gets called “clean.” Natural doesn’t automatically mean safe, and synthetic doesn’t automatically mean toxic.
And that app that gave your moisturizer a failing grade because you scanned the barcode?
I have questions. 😂
Does it have the CURRENT formula? The correct ingredient list? Does it know the concentrations? Is it evaluating the finished product or flagging individual ingredients without the context of dose and exposure?
And who decided what earns an ingredient a red flag in the first place?
Now let’s talk about standards that ARE regulated.
The European Union has some of the most extensive cosmetic regulations in the world, including ingredient restrictions, safety assessments and manufacturing requirements.
Mary Kay’s U.S. manufacturing facility is ISO 22716 certified...an internationally recognized standard for cosmetic Good Manufacturing Practices used within the EU regulatory framework.
So no, I’m not asking you to blindly trust Mary Kay.
But I’m also asking you not to blindly trust the people telling you NOT to trust Mary Kay.
Question the brand.
Question me.
Question the app.
Question the influencer.
Question the website.
Then follow the science.
Because your skin deserves better than fear-based marketing. 💗
Now I’m curious: Have you ever stopped using a product because an app or website told you it was “toxic”? Or are you genuinely confused about what to believe?
