Oh, Clean Beauty, what a rollercoaster! As a mom and a physician obsessed with clean beauty, let me tell you, it’s a wild ride trying to figure out what’s what in this seemingly “clean” world.
I mean, you’d think with all the buzz around clean beauty (hello, 1.2 billion TikTok hashtag views!), it would be simple to find the perfect products, right? But no, it’s like walking through a maze blindfolded, which is also covered in greenwashing (so sneaky!).
You see, there’s no one-size-fits-all definition of clean beauty, and it’s like trying to catch a greased pig to pin down what’s natural, non-toxic, green, or clean. Plus, clean beauty rules change depending on where you live (yeah, confusing much?).
So, a product that claims to be “clean” in the US might not pass the sniff test elsewhere.
And don’t even get me started on the difference between “Natural” and “Clean Beauty”! It’s like trying to explain to your kids why you can’t pause an online game.
Basically, clean beauty products are supposed to be good for our health and not contain toxic ingredients, while natural or green products are made from, you guessed it, nature!
But don’t be fooled – clean beauty products can still have safe synthetic materials, even though they sound scarier than a late-night toddler scream.
Now, we can’t forget about the environment. Some “clean” or “green” brands are about as eco-friendly as a gas-guzzling SUV, with questionable ingredient sourcing, worker conditions, waste disposal, and packaging.
But keep hope; some brands actually walk the walk and do their best to make eco-conscious products (bless their hearts!).
Is Every “Clean Beauty” Brand Really Clean?
Short answer: nope!
Thanks to a lack of regulations, some brands are like that one friend who exaggerates their vacation stories – not entirely honest. And just because a product is natural, green, or clean doesn’t mean it’s 100% safe. For example, citrus extracts and essential oils can cause allergies!
The truth is no brand can be completely clean, safe, and sustainable. There will always be some environmental impact, like transportation emissions or packaging. But hey, we’re all just trying to do our best, right?

What To Do Then?
In the end, it’s all about progress, not perfection.
Sure, the clean beauty movement has flaws, but it’s a step in the right direction. And as Mark Twain said, “They did not know it was impossible, so they did it.”
Let’s keep pushing for better products for our health and the environment, and maybe one day, we’ll get there!
