Clean beauty utilizes materials with safe ingredients backed by a standard that ensures attentive evaluation. The clean beauty standards consider human and environmental health, using a nontoxic element as a baseline and plant-based ingredients for active results. It’s beauty that is considerate, ethical, and fully transparent. Clean beauty limits or even eliminates levels of risk to the consumer.

This combination makes it safer for people and the planet! Clean beauty is likened to the idea of clean eating, where the focus is on organic, plant-based and whole foods that deliver a healthy digestive and immune system, while avoiding processed foods as much as possible. Clean beauty holistically supports an overall clean lifestyle. And the benefits can be nothing short of amazing.

The number one reason being that the last time the United States Congress passed any law regulation on the safety of personal care products was in 1938. In the past 80+ years, tens of thousands of chemicals/ingredients have been introduced and included in personal care products from cosmetics, skin care, hair care and perfume. The European Union bans about 1,300 ingredients from personal care products and the United States only bans 11. With little to no testing, the FDA allows chemicals into our personal care products that are known toxins, endocrine disruptors (hormone disruptors) and chemicals linked to causing cancer. Therefore, the products we use on ourselves and families to make us clean & pretty could be harmful to our health.

This is subjective and based on many personal variables. The best place to start is to use clean beauty products for your everyday cosmetics, hair care, perfume and other personal care products. Also use clean beauty on the largest surfaces of the body: i.e. body lotion, skin care, foundation and hair care. If you use clean beauty daily and reserve conventional beauty for special occasions, you will be better off. Think of it this way: if you eat a clean organic diet daily, the random day loaded with simple carbs and sugar won’t affect you in the big picture.

I work with top clean beauty brands like Kosas, Westman Atelier, Tower 26, RMS Beauty, MOB Beauty, and ILIA to name a few , which focus on natural, non-toxic, and cruelty-free formulations. These brands are known for high performance without compromising on ingredient safety or ethical standards.

Absolutely! Clean beauty products have come a long way in terms of performance. I use high-quality, long-wear clean beauty products that provide flawless, durable coverage without the need for harsh chemicals. I also use setting techniques to ensure your makeup lasts all day.

Yes, clean beauty is perfect for clients with sensitive skin, as the products are free from common irritants and allergens. During our consultation, we can discuss any specific concerns, and I will choose the best products for your skin type.

Yes, many of the clean beauty products I use are vegan and always cruelty-free. I’m committed to using brands that prioritize ethical practices, ensuring no harm comes to animals during product testing or development.
