Did you know? Forget the dark web; there are beauty brands out there with QUITE the dark side! Such as lead in lipstick as well as TOXIC heavy metals such as mercury in skin creams. No lie. An FDA investigation found that some skin creams contained toxic levels of mercury in them. Showing just how important clean beauty brands are!
It is estimated that on average a woman may use 12 personal care products every day; thus exposing herself to 12 or more chemicals. That’s not even the worst part. Those very chemicals in your products oftentimes are absorbed into your body!
Therefore, if you are using a product with toxic ingredients. Every day your body is taking in those very toxins. So then, you can only imagine what type of problems that can eventually lead to for down the road. BEYOND scary.
As a result, it is time to start thinking about cleaning out all of those “bad” products and replacing them with items that ONLY use ingredients that will not leave you worst off. Since you should not be punished just because you wish to beautify yourself.
Furthermore, for this reason we decided to help you guys out by providing you with a list of awesome clean beauty brands. From makeup to skincare the following lists will help you in your journey of ridding your makeup bags; and beauty routines of harmful products!
Clean Beauty Brands -An Ultimate List to Get You Started
Let’s start with makeup shall we? Since let’s face it… it’s WAY more fun to play with! Below is our beauty cheat sheet of clean beauty makeup labels. Enjoy!

Nevertheless, our list is still a really good start to helping you shop around for the best brand that will work for you. Keep in mind though that the range on some clean beauty labels is not that large. However, many are continuing to expand and other more tones; to fit more people, as they gain more popularity.
Our BEAUTY Editor, Alicia Suggs, states, “I am actually still shocked by how many darker colors and shades there are available for women of color. Since making the switch to using nothing but clean beauty products; I will admit I was scared of not being able to be matched properly.
But let me tell you, DO NOT BE SCARED. I have also tested and gone through most clean makeup brands and there is a lot of selection available. I personally found my perfect foundation match with a brand called, Vapour. So I highly recommend.”
