It's really just a matter of companies maximizing profits by using cheaper ingredients. This post reminded me of when I was a tree-hugging liberal in college back in the 90s. One of my favorite books at the time was called something like "Nontoxic, Natural, and Earthwise" and told about how horrible for the planet synthetic chemicals and such were. And then it listed a directory of companies that made "Earth friendly" products, including toiletries.
There are quite a few companies that make toiletries with less harmful ingredients. But many of them would be considered "woke" because they focus on how their ingredients are better for the planet, or that their materials are ethically sourced and traded.
It's sometimes amusing how similar many people on this board are to liberals I know. Even though you're coming from two extremely different places, there are some really weird similarities.
Like:
-Shared contempt for how pharmaceutical companies profit from medications. Libs because they don't care for for-profit healthcare. Anons because they disagree with the practices of Big Pharma.
-Industrial farming. Libs because they disagree with how companies involved with industrial farming treat the land. Anons because of their concern over what might be in their food.
