Skin is the largest organ in the human body and sometimes it’s hard to believe that big name beauty companies still add toxic ingredients to their skin care and beauty products.

What is clean beauty?

Clean beauty products are made without unhealthy ingredients or any harmful chemicals such as parabens, phthalates, formaldehydes and coal tar to name a few. Many times clean products may also be cruelty-free, vegan or have eco-friendly packaging as well. Gone are the days when quality had to be sacrificed for the sake of healthy ingredients. Brands like Goop, Honest Beauty and Drunk Elephant have started to bring clean beauty to the mainstream. The clean beauty market has seriously upped its game to offer many luxurious beauty choices without the harmful chemicals.
