What?
Clean beauty generally refers to products that are formulated without harmful chemicals, and considered safer for you.
Why?
Regular makeup contains an alarming amount of questionable chemicals. Some of which are linked to endocrine disruption, reproductive issues, cancer, and more.
Where?
Iffy chemicals aren’t the norm globally. The E.U., for example, has restricted the use of 1,382 different chemicals in cosmetics. The U.S.? Just 30.
