National Clean Beauty Day is today. In the meantime, the meaning of this day is to make sure that brands are developing sustainable products; while also providing better education to consumers on making the right choices.
What is National Clean Beauty Day
First and foremost, clean beauty is products that are developed without any toxic ingredients.
Not only is this day for cosmetic brands; but also to use for your own personal usage:
- Non-toxic ingredients – Ingredients that are safe to use
- Transparent ingredients – This should include a list of all ingredients used in a product and label.
Since both of these are essential, how many labels mislead shoppers in their packaging? For instance, the word, fragrance isn’t considered an ingredient; but often companies use this as an ingredient. Hence, many cosmetic brands are using the word “Eco” or “Natural” often. However, are these ingredients organic?
At the same time, neither the word “natural or organic” is necessary to be considered clean beauty. But, it is essential that cosmetic companies eliminate any type of toxic ingredients from their products.
So, if you’re looking for toxic ingredients to avoid; you should avoid buying products that have the following:
- BHA (Butylated hydroxyanisole)
- Chemical UV filters such as Octinoxate and Oxybenzone
- Formaldehyde
- Fragrances
- Parabens

Now that you know what to avoid; you can add some new beauty products to your everyday routine.
First, let’s start with our skincare.
