CLEAN BEAUTY EXPLAINED & WHY IT IS IMPORTANT

The term “clean beauty,” is a relatively new description for skincare products, is now widely used and can be somewhat confusing. What does that mean? Is it natural beauty?

In simple terms, it refers to cosmetics and skin care products that are free from harmful or potentially damaging chemicals like parabens, phthalates, sulfates, and synthetic fragrances. The following provides explanations, why we should care and why it matters.

CLEAN BEAUTY - THE SIMPLICITY

Clean beauty is best described as non-toxic beauty products. It is a term used to describe cosmetics and skincare products that are free from harmful chemicals. As more and more people become aware of potentially harmful ingredients then an understanding grows of these products and how to avoid them.

CLEAN BEAUTY - MOVE TO

The move is a response of growing concerns about the safety of cosmetics and skin care products. Many skincare brands are not transparent about the ingredients in their products or committed to Clean Beauty as a philosophy. The question is why expose yourself when Clean Beauty products are available?

CLEAN BEAUTY - THE ENVIRONMENT

Clean Beauty is also about sustainable and natural ingredients in product associated with the environment.

CLEAN BEAUTY – ARE THE PRODUCTS ALL-NATURAL?

Not all “natural” ingredients are automatically safe or effective. Research is therefore essential. This also applies to “organic” and some non-organic or synthetic ingredients can be as safe as organic or green ones.

The principle for Clean Beauty products includes that these are:

• Safe (for you, and for the environment)

• Plant-derived

• Vegan

• Cruelty-free

• Eco-friendly

• Sustainably sourced

CLEAN BEAUTY - INGREDIENTS REMOVED FROM OUR PRODUCTS
