Aspire to Clean Beauty

Whether it’s clean makeup you are looking for, or ethical skincare, increasingly we are seeing more and more people looking for natural alternatives. Here are some reasons why clean beauty is the hottest trend to follow.

Ingredients

More consumers understand the dangers that certain toxic ingredients such as phthalates and petrolatum can have on their health. Also, skincare and cosmetic formulations are not stringently regulated—so while the EU has banned over 1,300 ingredients over safety concerns, only 11 ingredients have been banned in the US.

Natural and effective

Not only are natural beauty products made with natural and organic ingredients, they are proving to be just as results-driven as their synthetic counterparts. These are also a better choice for sensitive, irritated skin as certain harsh chemicals and preservatives—such as SLS and fragrances can aggravate the skin, causing redness and skin irritation. As such, natural skincare is generally the go-to for those with sensitive skin as they tend to be milder on skin.

Ethical practices

For many founders of natural brands, the desire to start their brand is coupled with the need to run an ethical business. And this is a growing priority for the conscious consumer. As a result, cruelty-free, vegan, and environmentally conscious brands are being sought-after.

Taking it even further, here in the UAE is a brand-new clean beauty e-boutique, Aspire Beauty Co that was launched by beauty veteran, Claire Gittus.
