2018 was a year of growth and adaptations. It’s been the 5th year of an amazing ride for Think Dirty. As an annual tradition, on the eve of new year, I would love to reflect on many of the memorable moments. Here are a few fun facts and highlights for 2018.

This year I was invited to be on the Women of Clean Beauty Panel moderated by Teresa Lo of @biossance — featuring Nneka of @environmentalworkinggroup and Paige Padgett (@paigepadgett) THE author of Green Beauty Rules book.
SXSW has a special place in my heart because I launched Think Dirty in SXSW Eco 2013 as an exhibitor (at that time our app has been launched only for 1 month). Being able to be back as a panellist at SXSW Wellness meant a world to me.
2. Got invited to film an episode on Dragon’s Den!
3. We got a mention on Bloomberg!
My favourite bit is that reporter admires our empty Bathroom Shelf Screen and said this:
“We don’t care what the label looks like or what your brand is called,” says Lily Tse, the founder of Toronto-based Think Dirty. “We just care about the ingredients list.” Her company’s home screen asks: “Is your bathroom Kardashian-filthy?” a jab at products recommended by the Instagram-happy TV clan. (A Jenner representative didn’t respond to a request for comment.
Occasionally we get the odd non-beauty item submitted to our database. Guess some users missed the memo! Here are our 10 strangest submissions thus far.
