What Makes Us Endorse A Brand
Hopefully you’ve been over to our brand page. You’ll find brands that we recommend looking into on the journey to replacing your current personal care products with safer ones.
One of our goals at Clean Beauty for Black Girls is to make your purchasing decisions stress free. Finding and using products that are not going to harm your health shouldn’t be hard & we want to help ease that struggle.
It is our promise to not only get to know the Black women who create & own these brands, but to also test the products & read through their ingredient lists in order to determine if it is truly a safer option.
We want to elevate brands that avoid the ingredients we at Clean Beauty for Black Girls see as being of the highest concern.
That means we are watching for ingredients that are heavily concentrated & found in Black women’s products, such as:
Parabens
Formaldehyde (DMDM Hydantoin - Diazolidinyl Urea)
Fragrance (undisclosed mixture)
P-phenylenediamine
Retinyl palmitate
Methylisothiazolinone
Phthalates
Why? Because the ingredients on that list are connected to things like cancer, hormone disruption, reproductive & developmental damage & allergies, just to name a few.
Clean Beauty for Black girls is interested in brands who:
Are concerned with Black women’s health and the connection of adverse health effects to personal care products
Are willing to be transparent about their ingredients usage & the product formulation process
Are aware of & expose their manufacturers & their processes
If you have any questions, or brand recommendations, please don’t hesitate to reach out at hannah@cleanbeautyforblackgirls.org
We’re here to help you choose you & choose safer.
