all you need to know about clean beauty
Why clean beauty is important? what does it mean? how to recognize? and what it has to do with sustainability?
most people don't have much awareness of the benefits of clean beauty and the effect it does on our body and our planet.
clean beauty is the term for natural products created and produced without any proven or suspected toxic ingredients or chemicals without harming animals and the planet.
why it's important to your skin and health? the main problem is toxic ingredients and chemicals, some chemicals damage your skin, some chemicals can be breathed in and damage your lungs, and some chemicals can get into your body (through your skin or when you breathe them in) and damage your organs (such as your brain, heart, liver, and kidneys).
It takes 26 seconds for the chemicals in your personal care products to enter your bloodstream.

The dirt of beauty factories isn't only dirt it's toxic chemicals in washed down drains that end up in oceans damaging the ecosystem and causing death to aquatic species. Livestock affected by toxins that end up in soil can suffer reproductive, genetic, and developmental changes as well as many types of cancer.
Also, statistically, most beauty companies are using tons of disposable plastics packaging.
Clean beauty companies are the complete opposite in both issues. clean beauty companies are mostly hand-made by environmental activism and take care to use compostable/ reusable packages.
