Here at EthicalStyle.com, we want people to make informed choices about the issues that matter the most for them. We believe more information is better, which is why we write resource guides ranging from how to pick winners at the thrift store to how to green your laundry.

EcoStiletto has gotten in on the game as well with “The Big List of Things That Suck.” There are the items you’d expect (like plastic bags and formaldehyde in nail polish) and some entries that might surprise you (antibacterial soap? fragrance? sunscreen?).

There’s also bad news for vegans: both faux fur and pleather made the list because they’re manufactured from nonbiodegradable substances like acrylic, nylon, polyester, and polyvinyl chloride (PVC). Pollutants are released into the air and water through the production and disposal for these synthetics, which is something to consider before buying that Mike & Chris-inspired pleather hoodie at Forever 21.
