You deserve the truth: Why transparency matters

In a world full of wellness buzzwords and "greenwashed" marketing, reading product labels has never been more important. Whether it’s skincare, supplements, or cleaning products, knowing what you’re putting in—and on—your body is the first step in making empowered, low-tox choices.

But here’s the problem: not all labels tell the full story. Let’s talk about what to look for, what to avoid, and why we believe full transparency should be the standard—not the exception.

What to look for on a label

Full ingredient lists
Look for brands that list all ingredients—not just the actives. You deserve to know everything that’s in the product, even the so-called “inert” ingredients, fillers, or preservatives.

Clear, recognisable names
If a product uses natural ingredients, they should be listed in a way you can understand. Ingredients like Magnesium Chloride or Zinc Picolinate are transparent and meaningful. Watch out for vague terms like "fragrance" or "proprietary blend."

Dosages and potency
Especially for supplements, the dosage of active ingredients should be listed clearly. If it’s missing, or if the amount seems suspiciously low, it’s worth questioning.

What to avoid

“Fragrance” or “Parfum”
These can hide hundreds of synthetic chemicals under one term. If the scent isn’t from essential oils or clearly stated, skip it.

Greenwashing phrases
Words like “natural,” “eco,” or “non-toxic” aren’t regulated. They sound good, but they don’t guarantee safety or purity. Always check the full ingredients list.

“Other Ingredients” with no explanation
If a product lists “other ingredients” without breaking them down, it’s a red flag. What are they hiding?

Our promise: Full transparency, always

At Alchemist’s Cabinet, we don’t just list active ingredients in our range of supplements, we list everything. No mystery fillers. No hidden preservatives. No vague terms.

We believe our customers have the right to know exactly what they’re using. That’s why every label we print reflects our commitment to honesty, safety, and simplicity.

Because real wellness starts with real information.

Tip: Next time you're shopping, flip the bottle over. The truth isn't on the front—it’s in the fine print. And you deserve to know exactly what you’re putting into your body.
