The Latest Clean Beauty Brands On Our Radar Now
As we are becoming increasingly conscious about what we are putting into our bodies, and on it, the clean beauty movement has been steadily on the rise. This is driven in part, by us: we are becoming more discerning about what we spend our money on and more educated about the ingredients in our favourite skincare products.
Common controversial ingredients include parabens, sulfates, phthalates, and artificial fragrances, which can be common skin sensitizers. Clean Beauty is commonly formulated without these controversial ingredients, sustainably produced, with no animal testing and with recyclable packaging. Major retailers have also followed suit, with Sephora’s clean beauty seal, and we are also witnessing more clean beauty brands on the rise. And forget the old notion that clean skincare is ineffective - these days, the clean beauty game has really leveled up to give you real payoff without compromise.
Check out all the rising clean beauty brands that have been on our radar and now available to shop for in Singapore.
