National Clean Beauty Day on July 15 celebrates the clean beauty movement—products that are mindfully created, produced with healthful ingredients, sustainably and ethically sourced and made with the health of our bodies and the environment in mind.
National Clean Beauty Day was established to raise awareness about the use of organic plant-based ingredients, how they can have better efficacy than conventional ingredients, as well as the avoidance of harmful and unnecessary ingredients in beauty products. The movement spearheads the use of authentically organic ingredients to create products with clinically validated age defy and blemish clearing benefits.
History of National Clean Beauty Day
National Clean Beauty Day celebrates the growing movement toward healthier, more ethical beauty choices. As consumers become more conscious of the ingredients in the products they use, the clean beauty industry has gained tremendous momentum, evolving from a niche trend to a global movement. The roots of clean beauty can be traced back to the 1990s when consumers began questioning the safety of synthetic chemicals, preservatives, and additives found in beauty products. This led to a wave of brands dedicated to formulating products with natural, non-toxic ingredients, free from harmful chemicals like parabens, sulfates, and phthalates.
The clean beauty movement has since expanded, with an increasing number of beauty companies adopting transparent practices, cruelty-free policies, and eco-friendly packaging. Today, clean beauty isn’t just about what’s in the products; it’s also about how they are made and how they impact the environment. National Clean Beauty Day serves as a reminder to prioritize our health and the planet, encouraging us to make informed choices when it comes to beauty products.
On this day, beauty enthusiasts, brands, and advocates unite to celebrate the benefits of clean beauty and raise awareness about safer, more sustainable options.
