What is Clean Ingredients?

"Clean" beauty lacks regulatory definition, making it a marketing term rather than a safety standard.

Brands typically avoid ingredients like parabens, sulfates, or synthetic fragrances—but ingredient safety depends on concentration, formulation, and individual sensitivity, not origin. Some natural ingredients can be more irritating than synthetic alternatives.

The most meaningful approach focuses on transparency: brands that disclose full ingredient lists, explain their choices, and provide safety data.

How We Evaluate Clean Ingredients

We assess "clean" claims by reviewing ingredient transparency and avoided ingredient lists, safety testing data and scientific rationale, and third-party certifications like EWG Verified or COSMOS.

We examine whether brands provide evidence-based formulation practices rather than fear-based marketing. Higher scores go to brands with comprehensive disclosure and scientific backing for their choices.
