Navigating the switch from your tried-and-true clean beauty products to a cleaner routine can be tricky territory.
Luckily, leaders and innovators in the clean beauty community have shared their wealth of knowledge with the internet to make the transition seamless.
You may or may not know that the beauty industry is self-regulated, meaning it’s very easy for a brand to claim their product as being “clean.” It’s not unusual to see safe-sound words like: green, organic, and nontoxic being tossed around with little context. As a result, a practice called “greenwashing” has become campant- by which we tend to fall prey to marketing spins, persuading us that products are better for us, than they really are. Eeek!
