Nov. 22, 2024

 

Surely you've heard of clean beauty? This term, increasingly present in the world of cosmetics, arouses curiosity and raises many questions. What exactly is clean beauty? Is it simply a marketing trend, or a genuine revolution in cosmetics? Let's find out.

What is clean beauty?

Clean beauty is an approach to cosmetics that favors natural, organic and environmentally-friendly ingredients. The aim is to offer products that are healthier, more transparent and less aggressive for the skin and the planet.

But beware: clean beauty is not synonymous with "100% natural". Rather, it's an approach that aims to reduce controversial substances as much as possible, preferring simpler formulas that are closer to nature.

The principles of clean beauty

  • Natural and/or organic ingredients: clean beauty products are formulated with ingredients of natural origin, such as plant extracts, vegetable oils and essential oils.
  • Total transparency: clean beauty brands are required to communicate clearly and transparently about the composition of their products.
  • Environmentally-friendly production: Packaging is often recyclable or reusable, and manufacturing processes are designed to minimize environmental impact.
  • Products for all skin types: La clean beauty offers products for all needs, including sensitive and reactive skin.

Why choose clean beauty?

  • For healthier skin: By reducing exposure to chemical substances, you promote healthier, more radiant skin.
  • To respect the environment: By choosing clean beauty products, you're helping to protect the planet.
  • For more responsible consumption: Clean beauty responds to a desire to consume more consciously and ethically.

How to recognize a clean beauty product?

There is no official label for clean beauty. To ensure you choose products that are truly respectful of your skin and the environment, choose brands that :

  • Clearly communicate the composition of their products.

  • Are transparent about their manufacturing processes.
  • Have an ethical and responsible approach.
