Clean Beauty is one of the buzziest phrases of the past few years. We’ve been hearing about it everywhere. Every Instagram seems to feature a cool chick with #DewySkin and #BeachWaves and celebrities are telling us to do rub colorful Facial Oils on our faces.

My personal journey to Clean Beauty started where so many trends find us: Instagram. I wanted that glow from within all those chill, makeup-free models had!
At the same time, I noticed the department store brands weren’t doing enough for my traditionally dry skin. My complexion was dull and I realized I was just burning money on products that were doing nothing. At the same time I began learning about all the potentially harmful ingredients lurking in our personal care products.*I first went on the hunt for an all natural hair spray to achieve that just-out-of-the-ocean beach wave (it’s still one of my faves!

Clean Beauty, The Movement
So we’ve already established that Clean Beauty has started popping up everywhere, and as a movement it’s begun to revolutionize the industry. Once a small niche of products that used to be limited to that dusty aisle of the health food store, now they’re on the front lines. They’ve become some of the coolest new skincare and beauty brands and products out there.* It’s one of the reasons why we are so excited about it here at Thread + Seed.
