What is CLEAN beauty?
-
@BUNSEN87
Sure - “trend” means exploitation of consumer ignorance that sells ingredients with little safety information and rejects those whose safety is well established. -
Thanks all

Clean beauty is synonymous with non-toxic beauty. It is a term used to describe cosmetics and skincare products that are free from harmful chemicals.for more information you can visit this website https://www.healthybooth.com/

Clean beauty is a technically meaningless marketing claim - there is no technical synonomity with safety or “non-toxic” ingredients. Ironically, many of the “clean beauty” ingredients (esp. preservatives) have very little human safety data in context while those rejected are a among the best qualified in terms of safety in use as document by the FDA and SCCP (e.g. https://www.fda.gov/cosmetics/cosmetic-ingredients/parabens-cosmetics).
Please, if you insist on a technical basis for this makrei8ng claim - please provide the technical support. Repeating the marking BS does not establish its validity.

I did not see ingredient listed on your website so can’t comment to your application of “clean beauty.”
However, please understand safety is an affirmative process - you must have data that shows safety for all your “clean beauty ingredients and products re. appropriate endpoints - carcinogenicity, sensitization, irritation, eye safety, teratogenicity, preservative efficacy, etc.? Without such appropriate data - your product are not safe and in US would be labelled.

There is no such thing as “Clean Beauty” ingredients. Clean Beauty products use the same cosmetic ingredients as “Unclean” cosmetic products. The only difference is that a select group of approximately 50 ingredients are not used in clean beauty products. The safety requirements apply to any and all cosmetic products.

As a formulation chemist, I loathe clean beauty. I find them to be unsupported by science and largely unsafe/stable. Every time I accept a proposal to improve product stability or shelf-life issues, its one of these “CLEAN”, “NATURAL”, “PRESERVATIVE FREE” products. ????
BUT I do formulate the client’s specifications, with every client having their own definition of CLEAN and NATURAL. Some are crazy restrictions, others are more flexible.
-
So just “unclean” ingredients?
-
The Clean and The Unclean … sounds like a Clint Eastwood movie!
No, just “prohibited” ingredients
-
Parabens to Molokai !!! Or maybe Dreyfus to Devil’s Island.
-
LOL! … good ones, Phil. Oh, really useful study you posted about Challenge Testing as a predictor of contamination in use.

These two formulas contain exactly the same ingredients, in the exact same percentages, with one exception - One contains parabens that are prohibited in all Clean Beauty standards. That’s Clean Beauty most simply defined … you cannot include any ingredients that are on the various prohibited lists:
Clean Beauty Compliant
Water, Niacinamide, Pentylene Glycol, Glycine Betaine (Beta Vulgaris) Beet Sugar Extract, Saccharide Isomerate, Zinc PCA, Sodium Hyaluronate, Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate, Glycyrrhiza Glabra (Licorice) Root Extract, Asiaticoside, Madecassic Acid, Asiatic Acid, Centella Asiatica (Gotu Kola) Extract, Camellia Sinensis (Green Tea) Extract, Citric Acid, Gluconolactone, Phenoxyethanol, Sodium Benzoate, Ethylhexylglycerin
Not Clean Beauty Compliant
Water, Niacinamide, Pentylene Glycol, Glycine Betaine (Beta Vulgaris) Beet Sugar Extract, Saccharide Isomerate, Zinc PCA, Sodium Hyaluronate, Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate, Glycyrrhiza Glabra (Licorice) Root Extract, Asiaticoside, Madecassic Acid, Asiatic Acid, Centella Asiatica (Gotu Kola) Extract, Camellia Sinensis (Green Tea) Extract, Citric Acid, Phenoxyethanol, Methylparaben, Ethylparaben, Propylparaben, Butylparaben

What’s to stop the “not compliant” marketer from just not listing the parabens to become compliant? I’ve seen it suggested that licorice root extract may be spiked with parabens to get it to work.

Anyone can misprepresent what is or is not included in a cosmetic product by not listing ingredients that are actually in a product … that applies to any and all cosmetic products if the manufacturer is not ethical. Licorice Root Extract is a label ingredient, it’s not going to do anything under any circumstances.

Thank you all for your responses and contributions.I learned a lot once again with you 🙂
-
You might point out which ingredients condemn the 2nd formula to the depths of the unclean.
-
Yes, Phenoxy is allowed in Clean Beauty standards up to 1%
-
It’s only the parabens, Phil. All the other ingredients are allowed in Clean Beauty compliant formulas
