Clean Beauty & Makeup You'll Love

Yes! Modern clean beauty formulations have advanced significantly. High-quality clean makeup can match conventional products in pigmentation, wear time, and finish. Look for brands that invest in research and testing—performance isn't sacrificed for safety anymore.

These numbers indicate how many toxic ingredients are excluded from the formula. "10-free" means the polish is free from 10 harmful chemicals like formaldehyde, toluene, DBP, and camphor. The higher the number, the cleaner the formula—though ingredient quality still matters more than just a number.

Not necessarily. These terms aren't regulated in cosmetics, so brands can use them loosely. Even natural ingredients can cause allergies or be contaminated. Look for third-party certifications like EWG Verified or specific ingredient exclusion lists. Our recommendations are vetted for both safety and performance.

No! Transition gradually by replacing products as they run out. Start with items you use most frequently or products applied to larger areas (foundation, powder). Focus on lip products and eye makeup next since these are close to mucous membranes. Taking it slow helps your budget and lets you test products before committing fully.

Clean beauty spans all price points. While some luxury brands are pricey, many affordable clean beauty lines exist at drugstore prices. Quality ingredients and ethical sourcing can cost more, but you're investing in your health. Plus, clean products often contain better ingredients that actually benefit your skin, not just cover it up.
