For everyone that's been seeing WOWO ads all over their social media... I'm curious however how a product like WOWO compares to a famous drugstore one. After all, big brands have big budgets for branding & marketing to ensure their products look legit. But when it comes down to ingredients? But all in all I personally wouldn't try products (especially any collagen drinks/pills/etc) that I'm not sure is certified by regulatory government bodies.
Guys, is your FB being flooded by distributors of Wowo Shampoo (now renamed to wouwou)? I've been seeing their posts for months and my curiosity increased as I see more and more before/after photos circulating on the internet of people looking bald to growing LOTS of hair (they might have copy/paste the pics blindly over time)...
.
The shampoo is marketed to be vegan, FREE from harmful chemicals and touted to be safe to use on elderly, babies and even pregnant mothers.
.
That got me even more curious as I went to their website (http://wowo.com.sg/) but couldn't find the full ingredients list besides showing their "main ingredients" that are beneficial for hair and scalp. So I used their site's live chat function and obtained the ingredients list as per screenshots attached.
.
To my horror, the first few ingredients are chemicals and can be pretty irritating to the skin especially for those who have more sensitive skin 😰😰
.
The ingredients that are worth my concern are:
.
- COCAMIDOPROPYL BETAINE ( associated with irritation and allergic contact dermatitis, reactions that could be due to the ingredient itself or to impurities present in it, such as 3-dimethylaminopropylamine)
>> this is DERIVED FROM COCONUT but it is synthesized in the lab, meaning nt natural. Can read more cases here on allergic reactions to this ingredient: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/…
.
- AMMONIUM LAURETH SULFATE (an ammonium salt of ethoxylated lauryl sulfate, a surfactant that contains PEG (polyethylene glycol) in its structure. May be contaminated with potentially toxic manufacturing impurities such as 1,4-dioxane)
>> ALS is considered better than SLS as a surfactant in shampoos but it still can be contaminated with 1,4 dioxane, a known carcinogen when it is being synthesized in the lab.
.
- PHENOXYETHANOL (Other HIGH concerns: Irritation (skin, eyes, or lungs), Occupational hazards; Other MODERATE concerns: Organ system toxicity (non-reproductive))
.
Reference: https://www.ewg.org/skindeep/
.
So guys, please DO study each and every ingredient in your daily products to ensure that they are clean and free from harmful chemicals and not believe whatever marketing materials you see on the internet!
.
Chemicals get absorbed into our bloodstream within 26 short seconds upon contact with skin. So choose your products wisely.
.
Do you really NEED these synthetic chemicals to make shampoo? There are better choices in the market out there (not many but there ARE more natural alternatives such as buy a plant-based shampoo or DIY your own with Dr. Bronners + water. It is definitely achievable.
.
And I agree that chemicals are everywhere, but we as consumers can make informed decisions and limit our exposure to such chemicals. Insulin in a child with type 1 diabetes is life-saving. Antibiotics in someone with bacterial meningitis are life-saving. Magnesium infusions in a pregnant woman with eclampsia can save both mom and baby.
.
BUT long-term exposure to harmful chemicals in small doses from our personal care products and cleaning agents on a DAILY basis can cause chronic health problems in the long-run. You don't see it now, doesn't mean they don't exist. Do you see more kiddos suffering from eczema at an increasing rate? Kiddos that go into puberty at a premature age? How about other issues like insomnia, constant fatigue? Think about it for yourselves!
.
Let me emphasise - I have NOTHING AGAINST WOWO as a brand. Even big brands like Johnson & Johnson do get sued for having Talc in their baby powder (http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-39816799). So brands have to be careful when they market products to pregnant mothers & babies in particular.
.
Keen to know what's a professional Hair Stylist's take on this product? Read Part II of my post: https://www.facebook.com/aldora.muses.56/posts/366527803842109
.
Wth is with this “u NEED SLS/ALS to make soaps & shampoos BS?”
And sarcastic comments on not using shampoo to wash hair since all are toxic?
Refer to Part III & stop being ignorant: https://www.facebook.com/aldora.muses.56/posts/369791570182399
.
Part IV: https://www.facebook.com/aldora.muses…/posts/377138859447670
.
Want more insights as to whether this shampoo can help with hair loss? Refer: https://www.facebook.com/aldora.muses.56/posts/370566523438237
.
P.S. Wowo Distributors are aggressively biting back saying that I feel salty or red eyes or trying to gain more followers? Is there a need? If your stuff is truly natural, then there's no room for me to comment much... Well, I believe as informed consumers, we have the right to know what are in our products before we decide to use them or not :)

【玳瑚師父隨筆錄】 《給國家領袖的祝福》
My Wishes for Our Country's Leader (English version below)
大概三年前,吾算出這幾年内李光燿先生的健康將會亮起紅燈,所以告訴弟子要多留意他的消息,有什麽消息,要第一時間告訴吾。
上星期得知李顯龍總理要接受前列腺切除手術時,吾翻開農民曆查看他動手術的日子,看了之後,會心一笑。那日子對他有利,手術一定會成功。國家領袖背後應該也有高人指點。 感恩。
在李總理的臉書賬戶上,有人祝福有人詛咒。而近日咱們的國父李光燿先生因感染严重肺炎入院,也一樣有人祝福有人詛咒。
當一個國家的元首或者領袖真的是非常非常地不容易,尤其是在我們新加坡。新加坡本身什麽天然資源都沒有,一切都要靠人力物力。國家搞得不好,財團哪會願意來這裡設厰,製造更多的就業機會呢? 顧一個家庭就已經很難了,而領導者顧的是這麽多的人和事。吾看李總理上任不久後,頭髮都變白了,可見要耗的精神和承受壓力有多大。
身為一個「人」,應該是祝福一個「人」。如果你覺得他做得不好,你又何必象他一樣不好呢?開口詛咒人,你認爲你就是好嗎?千萬不要,這樣顯得我們小氣巴拉,顯得我們沒有素養、沒有學養、沒有修養、沒有涵養。我們要做一個有學養的人,要先去了解清楚。如果是你當家,你患上這種病例,那人家在詛咒你,“另類”地祝福你,你的感受會如何?大家要將心比心,這樣才是正人君子,這樣才是一個「人」。
世界各地沒有一個政府是完美的,只因這是人間。能夠生長在新加坡,已是一個大福報。很多國家都沒有比新加坡來得穩定繁榮。不要還沒有報國恩,就變成一個“負心”的人。在因果上,當你辱駡一個人的時候,其實你是在將你的福份大量地扣給那個人。
吾玳瑚師父祝福我們國家的李顯龍總理速速地康復,繼續地為國家謀取更好的福利,更希望國父李光耀先生能早日從病苦中解脫。
-------------------------
About 3 years ago, I deduced that the health condition of Mr Lee Kuan Yew would show signs of deterioration in the coming years. I told my disciples to look out for any related news and keep me informed.
I got to know last week that our Prime Minister, Mr Lee Hsien Loong, was scheduled to undergo a surgery to remove his prostate gland. I checked the surgery date in the Farmers Calendar and was relieved that the date was beneficial to PM Lee. I knew that the operation was going to be a success. He must have gotten sound advice on the date from advisers of high caliber. Thank goodness for that.
On the Facebook page of PM Lee, many left well wishes and there were some who made unkind comments. And recent news on our Founding Father, Mr Lee Kuan Yew, who got hospitalized due to pneumonia, attracted similar well wishes as well as unkind remarks.
It is a very arduous job to be the leader of a country, especially in Singapore. We do not have any natural resources and have to rely on human resources. If the country is not managed well, which business would want to invest in our country and where will our employment opportunities come from? To manage a family is challenging enough, let alone to run a country with a myriad of complex issues and people. I saw that Mr Lee Hsien Loong has turned silver-haired not long after he became the Prime Minister. One can imagine the amount of stress and mental exhuastion he had to undergo.
As a human being, we should have well wishes for another human. If you feel that he did a bad job, why follow suit? To curse someone does not make you any better. Please do not do that. It would make you seem like a petty person with no proper upbringing and education. We should be learned and understand the situation first.
If you are in his shoes, and you contracted similar illness, how would you feel if you are on the receiving end of unkind comments? Please think about it like how a real gentleman would. That is how a human being should behave.
There is no perfect government in the world as this is the mortal world. To be living in Singapore is already considered a great blessing. There are many countries who do not possess our level of stability and prosperity. Do not be the heartless one who has not repay the privileges given by your country. In the eyes of karma, when you scold and humiliate a person, you are, in fact, transferring a huge amount of your merits to that person.
Master Dai Hu wishes PM Lee a speedy recovery, and may he continues to strive to better our country. It is also my sincere hope that Mr Lee Kuan Yew be free from the sufferings of ill health soon.

感激Selina Kinyee Chau翻譯我的散文作品,讓香港及台灣以外的朋友都能看得明白,從中文走向英語,是我作品的大突破,感謝妳一字一句的用心翻譯:)
《WhatsApp and its USD0.99》
by Roy Kwong Translated by Selina Kinyee Chau
The WhatsApp software developer has informed its users to the app to be payable, triggering a fight between iPhone users and android users because iPhone users only pay USD0.99 once to enjoy life-long service but android users need to pay the same price every year.
Android users complain, “Why iPhone users only need to pay once but we need to pay every year?” iPhone users retort, “You didn’t say anything when we were being charged at the beginning. And now you are complaining.” So the two parties are stuck at whether the charge is unfair to Android users.
After the Two Ticks and Last seen on (Please refer to the previous article of the same writer), the WhatsApp started a fight again because of this USD0.99 issue. From between lovers to friends, now it has even extended to the whole user group of the two giant software developers. It should be named the Most Evil App of the Century.
The inconsistency of charging is of course WhatsApp’s fault. However, for those who can afford a smart phone that cost thousands dollars will be able to afford USD0.99 which is only the price of a can of coke, won’t they?
Some student users may complain, “I don’t have a credit card, I’m not able to pay at the App Store, WhatsApp are not considerate of us.” It is reasonable for users under 18 to complain if they don’t have a credit card. But if the charge is a disaster of WhatsApp, isn’t it just time for people to show their kindness? Friends who have a credit card can rescue others at this time, “I have a credit card. Let me pay it for you.”
Friends without a credit card will appreciate what you have done for them, although it is WhatsApp’s fault of the forbiddance of sending messages before the expiry date, reactivating the function for your friends by buying them a can of coke is meaningful, isn’t it? The USD0.99 of WhatsApp has created a chance to show your care to your friends, how nice as a social networking app!
Recall those days when we were still texting, it was actually not financial friendly at all. For the sake of keeping in touch with our friends, we were compelled to use the same service provider as theirs even its service was the worst in the world and we had to survived three times every day from losing connection just because to keep the text messages free of charge.
Still, the Two Ticks and Last seen on functions have created a lot of problem. But the invention of WhatsApp allows us to send messages for free, save us from paying for every text messages. It deserves to be granted a credit. And the simplified process by just clicking a few buttons to send pictures, videos and audios when we could only do so via email in the past. What’s more, WhatsApp had actually stated in the Terms and Conditions that charge may be applied after the first year.
So there have been so many complaints about WhatsApp being unfairness and has been given the name “a broken app” when it announced to charge? No one ever said something like that before the charging. After the charge applied, negative comments has swept over the Internet. Some suggested to use another communication app, Line, which is free of charge, and WhatsApp has become the public enemy. Despite the inconsistent charge, what’s wrong for WhatsApp to charge for using the app?
Have we become too comfortable enjoying free lunch without notice?
I still remember how hard I tried to save to buy a CD home and listened to it again and again when I was a kid. I had never been tired of it because it wasn’t easy. When there was a movie I liked, I saved hard to go to the cinema for it. If I didn’t have enough money, I bought the VCD when it was released. But VCDs were only available for movies not for TV shows. I had to start sitting in front of the TV before the show I liked started so that I wouldn’t miss any parts. And recorders became my good friend too. I really cherished the only-180-minute memory of every tape.
After I grew up, thanks to the advanced technology becomes able to store everything, the TV, computer, CD player, VCD player, game station and recorders, into ONE smart phone, only without the air conditioner. Want to listen to a song? Go to Youtube; want a movie? PPS, internet TV! A TV show? There are also apps you can watch live TV or play back. Want some games? From Angry Bird to Candy Crush, there are thousands of choices waiting for you.
However, The advance of technology has devalue our attitude towards making efforts. Because everything has become easy to get nowadays.
Have you noticed the songs nowadays are not as good as those in the past? That could be the problem of quality itself but more likely, it is because we have too many options. Now we just need to click a few buttons, thousands of search results will come out and we can listen to them right after. We are spoiled to be greedy unconditionally. We didn’t realize how long we hadn’t paid for a CD until the news of HMV’s bankruptcy spread out.
In the past we had to sit still and paid 100% attention to the movie to enjoy it, now we can just watch it from a few-inch-wide screen on a train. But the price is we keep being interrupted by the surrounding noise and people. When the character is saying something moving, we would just realize we’ve missed the stop and have to rush to get off. It may be free to watch a movie like this but I prefer paying to buy a ticket to go to the cinema.
We don’t need to worry about missing the best part of a TV show because our friends always share them on Facebook. We don’t need to watch every scene but you know what is going on in every story. But why is there still something missing? It turns out that we only keep the concentrated part of everything while the every well panned detail has been wasted. We don’t spend time building a connection with the characters in the story. However, if we don’t even spend time watching the the TV show by ourself, how can we feel the same way as the characters do, like we did in the past?
You don’t feel the pain losing something if you have never made any effort. It is just like we keep those old comics that we spent all our pocket money on even they are old and worn , but we are able to uninstall an app on our phone without a thought. Well, just take a couple seconds to download and we will own it again anytime.
While we are expecting making no effort, we are also destroying creativity. Creators lack of motivation. Creativity is worth nothing nowadays. People will search for replacement when one creativity starts to charge. This is not just about the USD0.99 of WhatsApp, it’s about our value on Give and Take.
Technology has changed our life, but we should never let it change our values.
We avoid Giving. But giving is vital for us to learn to cherish. Sometimes we get back more by giving than not giving, not just about money but also about love. Think about it, if we get what we want easily without paying any effort, comparing with that you devote yourself to a relationship while the other devotes to the relationship as much as you. Then none of you will give up on the relationship easily.
If you think WhatsApp is good, it deserves the USD0.99. Although I am still annoyed by the evil functions such as the Two Ticks and Last Seen on. WeChat is free but you have to pay your liberty of speech for it. One user once tried to send the name of Southern Weekly in Chinese, the system reminded him that “The message has involved sensitive words, please try again after making modification.” What’s wrong with the name of Southern Weekly? The even more ridiculous thing is, while I am writing this article, I get the news that WeChat now has tightened up the regulation that users have to use their real name, phone number when posting on the public forum and are even required to upload the photo of them with their ID card, like you have committed some serious crime.
To avoid paying USD0.99, you need to escape to somewhere that and be monitored. One day if you really encounter some sensitive issue, you will realize not paying actually pays more than paying. I believe most of readers are willing to pay for this USD0.99. We hope WhatsApp will open up more channels for payments.
Don’t let the wheels of Time make us forget the value of giving.

※ 引述《dirrtybon (阿尼)》之銘言:
: 最近寫信常常在結尾需要寫到
: 有任何問題 請和我連繫
: 我是寫成 Any further questions, please feel free to contact with me.
: 但被人揪正缺少if主詞做為開頭
: 正確:If you have any questions, please feel free to contact with me.
: 我想請問若是以口頭語來寫的話
: 以Any further questions, 做為開頭的句子
: 對英語系國家的人來說 他們有可能會如此簡略嗎?
: 亦或有沒有其他簡略的口語用法
商用信件等正式文件盡量避免使用較口語化的用詞,所以糾正後的文句較恰當
而省略過後的any further questions?是一個問句,
做為開頭句子有點奇怪,不會如此簡略
"有任何問題 請和我連繫"可以翻成
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.
Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
You are welcome to contact me if you have any questions or concerns.
簡短的用法則可以用let
EX: Let me know if you have any (further) questions.
: 還有這句
: Any further questions about prices please continuing to contact with me,
: we could negociate.
: 這句文法對嗎?? 假如不對的話,應該怎麼改比較恰當?
: 謝謝orz。
就文法來說可以改成
If you have any further questions about prices, please continue to contact me.
We could negotiate.
不過有點台式英語的味道XD
像中文我們常說"請持續和我連絡"和"歡迎來信協商"沒什麼問題
但直接翻成英文會感覺怪怪的
可以當成"對價格有任何問題 請和我連繫"翻成
If you have any questions about prices, please contact me.
queries
也可以把價錢和問題分開寫
Above/Below is our pice list. If you have any further questions, please......
"歡迎協商"部分有需要可以用
There is room for negotiation.
You are welcome to negotiate prices with us.
Prices are negotiable.
