The Truth About Clean Skincare Labels_ What to Watch Out For

“Clean beauty” is everywhere these days. It’s on store shelves, trending on TikTok, and plastered across product packaging. But here’s the truth_ there’s no legal definition for “clean skincare.”

That means brands can use the term however they want—even if the product contains synthetic chemicals, preservatives, or fragrance blends. So how do you know what’s actually clean?

Let’s break it down_

🚨 What “Clean” Doesn’t Always Mean

  • Fragrance-Free? Could still include “fragrance” or “parfum”—a term that can hide dozens of chemicals.

  • Plant-Based? Doesn’t guarantee it's non-toxic or minimally processed.

  • Natural? Even arsenic is technically natural. Context matters.

🔍 What to Look For Instead

  • Short ingredient lists you can pronounce

  • Transparency: Brands that explain why they use each ingredient

  • Cold-pressed oils, tallow, and essential oils over synthetic fillers

  • No seed oils, parabens, phthalates, sulfates, or petroleum byproducts
