Clean beauty has become a key trend in the beauty industry as more of us are conscious about what products we use and the lasting effect these products may have on both our skin and the natural world around us.

What is clean beauty?

Free from known toxins and harsh chemicals, clean beauty products are formulated with ingredients from natural and organic sources which work to enhance the appearance of your skin and boost skin health. Clean beauty often features Australian native natural and herbal ingredients like rosehip, avocado oil, manuka honey, and turmeric.

Why you should use clean beauty products

Using clean beauty products lets you take control of what you expose your body to. From the soap you use in the shower to the serum you put on your face, choosing clean beauty products allows you to remove parabens, sulfates and phlatates from your daily routine. Considered to be the three most common toxins in beauty products, you should try and avoid them if you want create a more eco-friendly beauty routine which is kinder to your skin.

The benefits of clean beauty

Clean beauty products offer a range of benefits. They allow you to:

  1. Avoid parabens, fragrances, aluminium compounds, silica and other ingredients that irritate the skin and harm your health
  2. Support companies reducing their environmental impact
  3. Reduce your exposure to carcinogens such as formaldehyde and ethylene oxide
  4. Support companies creating ethically-produced, cruelty-free and vegan beauty products

At LOOKFANTASTIC, our Australian clean beauty brands, such as Kora Organics and Dr Bronners, focus on cruelty-free and organic production, meaning you can rest easy knowing that your skincare doesn't harm animals and avoids pesticides.

Generic cleansers are often filled with sulphates, foaming agents, and preservatives, leaving your skin dehydrated, irritated, and more prone to damage from the sun.
