ustainability. Eco-friendliness. Ethics. Over the past few years, the beauty industry has realized the importance of those three concepts. Another term often heard in the beauty industry is “clean beauty.” But what does this actually mean? “Clean beauty” refers to products that do not contain any synthetic chemicals that could irritate the skin, such as phthalates and parabens. However, “clean beauty” does not necessarily mean that its approach includes eco-friendly practices. Instead, “green beauty” refers to brands that perform sustainable, ethical and eco-friendly practices in their packaging and sourcing. Although there are brands that encompass the ideas of “clean” and “green” beauty, not many are known. So, let’s take a closer look at some of these brands that represent both “clean” and “green” beauty”.
