Clean Makeup Brands

Only 75% of people in the US are aware of the ingredients that are in their makeup products. Chemicals in many cosmetics are toxic and can lead to cancer, hormone disruption, and irritation. Some consumers are aware that their products are toxic, but still use them because they aren’t sure what else they should use. Here are some cleaner alternatives for a healthier skincare routine.

ILIA

ILIA beauty has a wide range of paraben free products to choose from. First, their Super Serum Skin Tint. This skin tint is perfect for people who want something lightweight with decent coverage. This product received the 2020 Byrdie award, which spotlights the most sustainable, health conscious makeup there is. Another sustainable product is the Multi-Stick Cream Blush + Highlighter + Lip Tint. This product is extremely buildable and is a staple of many makeup routines. ILIA’s products can be found at Sephora, Nordstrom, or ILIA’s website.
