We are all accustomed to the mountains of jars and bottles on a shelf near the mirror in the bathroom, and we don’t even have to talk about everyday household chemicals: everyone erases his clothes with a certain powder and washes dishes with a special detergent. But what if there is no difference between a shampoo for a hundred rubles and a shampoo for a thousand?

1
The myth "As many jars as possible"
Alas, the majority of shampoos are not much different in composition from shower gels.
2
The myth "No matter where the product is made"
When buying any household chemicals, be sure to pay attention to the country of manufacture. The fact is that developing countries use cheaper ingredients and in much smaller quantities, replacing the reagents with water. In Europe, quality standards are much stricter.

The myth "Wash baby clothes with baby powder"
Dear parents, they openly hang noodles on your ears. After carefully reading paragraph 2, you will understand that, for example, the Eared Nannies washing powder was made at the Nevskaya Kosmetika factory, which has not been particularly credible for many years. And the matter is not in the company itself - the fact is that these powders are no different from adults, and their apparent popularity is the work of simple marketing.
4
The myth "All ingredients in the composition are very important."
Carefully reading the labels, remember that the composition of the household chemical product is listed in descending order of the mass of the ingredients. Therefore, if the composition says "water, soda, salt, a lot of incomprehensible words, bean oil and jojoba oil", it means that the oil there is three drops per whole barrel.
5
The myth "Powder is full of biologically active substances"
Unfortunately, absolutely any manufacturer of washing powders tries to shove as much “ballast” into their packages as possible. And the vaunted little blue and red dots are also nothing but simple granules, and not some mythical active substances.
6
Myth "For colored and white linen - different household chemicals"
Take a closer look at the labels and see that the rinses for colored and white items are almost identical in composition.
7
The myth "Calgon - and the washing machine will not suffer"
The greatest deception of our time is Calgon products. In the advertisement, they repeat that the washing machine may fail due to scale, but this is pure lie - the cars do not break from this.
8
The myth "I do not buy household chemicals that are tested on animals"
Alas, but even if the product says that it has not been tested on animals, this does not mean that this particular product was not given to any animal for testing. The fact is that in order to enter the market, a product needs to go through hundreds and thousands of SanPin inspections, which include animal tests. Simply, the company does not conduct these tests under its brand, but gives the right to conduct these tests to other contractors.
