Clean Beauty: What Is It and Why It’s Good for You

The Diane Team | November 26, 2021

What is clean beauty?

The phrase “clean beauty” has been frequently tossed around of late, among words like “organic” and “naturally-derived”. That’s because the consumers of today are becoming more aware of what we put in our bodies, what we put on our faces, and what goes into our beauty products.

Clean beauty products, as much as possible, use naturally-derived ingredients and are free from harmful ingredients that can cause damage to our hair and skin. Some of the harmful substances that might be in beauty products that we are familiar with include:

To begin the switch to a clean beauty routine, start looking out for natural and organic products.

What are the benefits of clean beauty?

It’s always good to be more aware of what we’re putting in our bodies. But what’s the big deal, exactly? Well, here are a just a few benefits of clean beauty.

1. Better for the environment

The toxic chemicals that are in your hair products aren’t just bad for you—they’re bad for the environment too. When you rinse your hair during your shower, the chemicals in your shampoo get sent down the drain and into the water supply. These chemicals can be harmful to aquatic animals and animals drinking out of the water bodies.

In contrast, the lack of harmful chemicals in clean beauty products make them better for the environment. With the natural ingredients in clean beauty shampoos and conditioners, you need not worry about hurting turtles and dolphins with harmful chemicals.

2. Get that glow

Using clean beauty products for hair and skin can work wonders. We all want to achieve shiny and sleek hair, don’t we?

Clean beauty products contain natural oils that help to hydrate our skin and hair. Moist Diane’s Diane Bonheur shampoo and treatment, for example, contain ingredients like organic Marula oil, Prickly Pear Cactus oil, Buriti oil, Pracaxi oil, Maracuja oil, and more. These oils help to hydrate hair to keep it smooth and shiny. This just might be one of the best organic shampoos to achieve a lustrous sheen.

3. No harmful ingredients

Here’s the truth: lots of cosmetics, skincare and hair care products tend to rely on harmful ingredients to achieve results. Take conventional shampoos, for example. They tend to use harsh sulfates to lather up the foam we’re used to. Most conventional shampoos and conditioners also include silicones, parabens, artificial colorants, and more.

Since our scalp is actually very absorbent, we need to treat it with more care. Clean beauty products like Diane Bonheur’s haircare line does not contain silicones, sulfates, parabens, and colourants. It is therefore gentler and more nourishing for our hair.

Instead of the usual suspects, the Diane Bonheur line from Moist Diane feature plant-derived artisanal cleaning ingredients, including Babassu Oil, Argan Oil and Olive Oil. No silicones or sulfates here!

How to include clean beauty in a routine?

Convinced that clean beauty is the way to go? Here’s how to make the switch over to this brave new world.

1. Check the labels

The first thing to do is to check the ingredients list on all of the products currently in use. Yes – that includes your shampoo, conditioner, facial cleanser, and so on. Are there any harmful ingredients hidden in these products? Remember, avoid harmful ingredients like:

The next time you’re out shopping, cross out anything that contains harmful ingredients from your shopping list!

2. Reset your hair

If you found that the products you’ve been using contain the harmful ingredients mentioned above, you may have found the cause of your dull and lifeless hair. Perhaps it’s time to reset your hair. That’s because using too many hair products can lead to product accumulation and build-up on the surface of the hair. This could very well be the cause of your dull hair.

Think of a break from hair products like a hard reset on the computer when things aren’t working as they should. Stop using beauty products for a day or two. Definitely make sure to take out all products with harmful ingredients.

Give your hair some rest, and let it recover from product build-up from styling gel or hair spray – it’ll soon bounce back to its natural sheen.

3. Do research

Don’t just read the labels without understanding and don’t get sucked in by buzzwords. Be an expert – delve deeper into what all these clean beauty terms mean.

Useful websites like INCIDecoder help to decode the ingredients in your beauty products.
