Clean beauty… that sounds incredible. These “cleanical” hybrids—nontoxic formulas with clinical power—could be your answer to cleaning up your skin-care routine while getting real results. Let’s dive in and find out.
Understanding Clean Beauty
Let’s define CLEAN and CLINICAL.
At a minimum, a clean formula is free of potentially toxic chemicals. (NOTE: What’s considered toxic is self-regulated by beauty companies. I have FINALLY found a clean, nontoxic line that is truly clean enough to eat!) A clinical skin-care formula has scientific research that proves its effectiveness. Combine the two, and you get a new booming category known as “cleanical” skincare that’s safe and delivers results.
Why the sudden popularity of clean beauty products with scientific backings? Consumer demands for such formulas are at an all-time high. People are becoming knowledgeable and realizing that skin isn’t wallpaper! Skin is the largest organ in the body, and what you put on your skin DOES indeed enter the body! So, of course, we should be concerned – but is it too much to ask for results too? I don’t think so!

When Clean Beauty Meets Clinical Skin Care
Plants have proven powers. Certain natural extracts have been used to treat skin for centuries. And now we have clinical studies showing that: for example ~ cannabis can calm irritated skin, while bakuchiol—an extract from the Indian babchi plant—can soften fine lines and act in many ways like retinol speeding up cell renewal which helps everything from acne to wrinkles! Glycolic acid comes from sugarcane to exfoliate skin; salicylic acid, a beta-hydroxy acid that treats acne, is from tree bark; zinc, a mineral that blocks UV rays, is from tree bark mined from the earth. SO far, this all sounds promising!
I have personally asked myself the following question for years: Do Natural Products REALLY Work? Recently I sat down to share my findings ~ enjoy!
