🧼🧴🧪🔍
What are your thoughts on “clean+green beauty”? I’m definitely an advocate but it has been skewed and capitalized on for sure. And for the record, because it’s “allegedly clean” doesn’t mean it’s good for you or intended for your skin. There’s much to consider in skin formulas. Chemistry is the key to unlocking therapeutic benefits of any ingredients.
🔍
I was contacted to contribute to this article (parts here👉🏽) for thewell —articles like this open us up to deeper exploration. It’s an exhaustive topic and all depends on what we are looking at, as every ingredient has a purpose in a good formula. With no shortage of clean beauty products available start with baby steps to swap out if your on this journey.
🔍
The fact remains most common personal care products contain deleterious ingredients and have potential for endocrine (or hormone) disruption just like pesticides and processed foods which come with a host of problems and many are toxic irritants/allergens. The concern is the burden on the body over long periods of time to be able to function in its optimal state without these chemicals interfering with its natural process. Reminder it’s all about longevity. What your choosing now will impact you one way or another. 
🔍
There’s been a push from “skinfluencers” with huge followings amplifying a message that the clean movement is a sham and there is no such thing or basis to it. They are misleading and twisting facts to plead their case, whether it’s to sell their brand or ideas. Please don’t share and buy into this do your own “research” — I cringe at that word too but learn to be a critical thinker. What has happened is called “greenwashing” or “greenfraud” in the case of environmental issues. This has existed for years. However, this isn’t every #greenbeautybrand out there.
