The movement towards clean beauty has been gaining traction in recent years, as people become more aware of the potential hazards of conventional beauty products. Makeup typically contain harmful chemicals, such as parabens, sulfates, and phthalates, which can be damaging to both our skin and the environment.
Clean beauty focuses on using natural and organic ingredients that are safe and nourishing for the skin. These products often exclude harmful chemicals, parabens, sulfates, and synthetic fragrances, focusing on plant-based or naturally derived ingredients. I’ve really focused on switching to clean makeup and skincare in the last year and noticed a huge difference in my skin. It also just feels way better for my health to not put chemicals on my skin, after all it is your biggest organ.
