Clean Beauty What is it?

Clean, for us, means a product that is made without a long (and ever-evolving) list of ingredients linked to harmful health effects, which can range from hormone disruption and cancer to plain old skin irritation. To name a few of the offenders we avoid parabens, phthalates, PEGs, ethanolamines, chemical sunscreens, synthetic fragrance, BHT, and BHA.

Anything going on your skin will eventually end up in your bloodstream.  It is really about your health, you wouldn't eat something toxic, so why would you put it on your skin.

Top 3 ingredients to AVOID and WHY

PARABENS

Estrogen mimicking preservatives that can cause disruption of the endocrine and reproductive systems.  

BENZOPHENONE/OXYBENZONE

This can be found in sunscreens and could promote the growth of potentially harmful free radicals.  

PHTHALATES

They have the ability to mimic human hormones.  They also are endocrine disrupters


with natural plant-based ingredients for healthy skin. Our innovative Slow Herb Complex™
has a blend of botanicals that thrive in dry conditions and are slowly cold-brewed to extract
antioxidants for peak efficacy.

Most styling products on the market are formulated for volume and hold — not for the moisture, strength, and scalp health that mature natural hair actually requires. That's why in this post I'm not giving you a list of 15 products to try. I'm giving you three — each one solving a specific styling problem that women over 40 deal with constantly — all from Watch & Sea, a marine-inspired haircare line built a...
