With brands now offering clean makeup in the beauty industry, the biggest question that consumers have is what exactly clean makeup is and how it is distinguished from ‘regular’ makeup.
In essence, clean makeup refers to products that are not only cruelty-free and ethically sourced, but don’t include ingredients that can be potentially harmful to your body, both inside and out. Many favourable makeup brands use potentially harmful ingredients in their products including parabens, fragrances, talc, lead and more.
Although many people are knowledgeable about the ways that a makeup product can cause physical reactions on the face through personal experience, non-clean makeup products can also have negative effects within our bodies including disrupting hormones, your immune system and digestion.
However, just because a brand claims to be ‘clean’, ‘organic’ or ‘natural’ does not necessarily mean that it is. Reading and understanding the ingredients is the surest way of ensuring that the products you are using do not include toxic ingredients that can impact your health in the long run.
If you are considering changing your everyday makeup routine to incorporate clean makeup products, here is a full, diverse list of product recommendations to create a full, gorgeous makeup look with products that you can find at your local Sephora.
