It won't be cleaner

Critical ingredients are therefore not used in the composition of clean beauty products. These ingredients are one in clean beauty products absolute no-go: Cyclic silicones, synthetic fragrances, parabens, mineral oils, PEG, phthalates, oxybezone, sulfates, formaldehyde or even ethanol. In addition, the hair and face care products must not be tested on animals. So they are cruelty-free too.

This is how you recognize clean beauty products

Certain seals on the products also indicate that they contain no questionable ingredients. These include the BDIH seal, which identifies 100% controlled natural ingredients, the CCPC seal certifies organically and sustainably produced cosmetics, the nature seal represents natural product compositions or the seal of the Natural Products Association, which identifies products that are not artificial Ingredients get along.
