Skin Deep: Why Clean Skincare Is Better For Our Health

17 September 2024
Our skin is our body’s largest organ—what we apply to it matters. As awareness grows about the ingredients in our beauty products, many are seeking  “clean skincare”  options that prioritise safer and more effective formulations. At Forest MD, clean skincare means choosing ingredients backed by science that are safe for your skin and effective in delivering real results.

Clean skincare typically avoids potentially harmful chemicals like parabens, sulfates, phthalates, synthetic fragrances and colouring agents. However,  “clean”  doesn’t always mean chemical-free, natural or organic. It’s about making thoughtful ingredient choices that contribute to your skin’s overall health and appearance, whether naturally derived or synthetic.

Why Clean Products Matter

Since topically applied products can be absorbed into our system, it’s important to consider the long-term effects of what we put on our skin. Ingredients like parabens and phthalates have been linked to hormone disruption, while sulfates can cause skin irritation. Clean skincare aims to reduce these risks by avoiding ingredients known to cause harm.

Our approach to clean skincare includes using safe, effective ingredients—naturally derived or synthetic—to protect your skin and enhance its health. We focus on formulations that avoid unnecessary irritants while delivering the best possible results for your skin.

How to Choose Clean Skincare Products

Navigating the world of clean skincare can be overwhelming, especially with the lack of regulation around the term “clean”. Here are some tips to help you make informed choices:

  1. Read Ingredient Labels: Look for ingredients that benefit your skin, like hyaluronic acid, vitamin C and plant-based oils. It’s important to choose safe and effective products for your skin type.
  1. Understand the Brand’s Focus: Choose brands that prioritise safety and efficacy in their formulations. Look for those who share your values, whether that’s skin health, ethical sourcing, packaging or performance.
  1. Patch Test New Products: Even clean products can cause reactions, especially if you have sensitive skin. Always patch test a new product on a small area of your skin before full application.
  1. Be discerning and cautious of Greenwashing: Some brands use “clean” as a marketing tactic without fully committing to the principles. Look for transparency and avoid brands that make vague or unsubstantiated claims.
