All beauty products have specific formulations, be it a face wash that you use every morning or the night serum you use before going to bed. People naturally gravitate towards products depending on their skin type & its concerns and overlook the ingredients as long as the product claims to work for their skin type. So what does clean beauty mean? Clean beauty doesn’t have a strict definition as such. Products that have zero toxins like parabens, sulphates, phthalates and so on come under this category. Even makeup artists check the ingredients before applying any item to their clients’ faces to avoid damaging the skin.

Clean beauty brands use a mix of good chemical ingredients and natural extracts to create a product that delivers desirable results. Some brands prefer to stick to ayurvedic formulations that have naturally derived ingredients. Some brands even go the extra mile and sell their products in sustainable packaging, which is a green measure and can also be one of the attributes of clean beauty. We need to understand that not all chemically formulated beauty products are bad. Products that have Salicylic acid, Glycolic acid, Zinc, Ascorbic acids, retinols and many such ingredients actually work wonders for some most common skincare issues.

New beauty brands are popping up every other day and have really exciting brand stories and visions. You may be a little skeptical before trying out any new brands just because they may irritate your skin and cause breakouts. It’s a very natural concern, that’s when reading labels becomes really important. Look for brands that give out their complete ingredients lists instead of just key ingredients. Most of the hidden toxins like certain fragrances or soap bases won’t be on the list and they may be the ones causing your skin to get irritated, especially people with sensitive skin may get rashes easily.
