The Latest Superfood Added to Beauty Products Ingredients

We do a lot of things in the name of beauty—we've lasered our arm hair off,dripped coconut water down our forehead for a solid 30 minutes, and replaced our entire beauty regimen with men's products. Being an experiential bunch, we're usually the first to volunteer as tribute for whatever strange fad is happening or play guinea pig to test the latest It product. Suffice to say, our medicine cabinets are a diverse stockpile of some of the wildest and wackiest products we've ever come across, but it turns out our own peculiar collections don't even hold a candle to some products out there.

After doing a bit of digging, we found some unique ingredients we never thought would be formulated inside a beauty product. Some of these ingredients may already exist in products you own or are hidden in items you've passed by on the shelves a bunch of times over, while others are a little more obvious (while still quite alarming). Below, check out some of the craziest ingredients found in cosmetics and skincare.
