“It matters a lot. Sometimes, you're using multiple products that contain one small quantity that's safe in one product, but if you combine it with different products, it's not safe anymore. And we never think about that." - Nour Abochama.

“I have all these different jars and bottles in my cupboard, and, yeah, I haven't really thought about what I'm doing and putting and how they're interacting." - Linda Yates
