Clean Beauty Recommendations
We’ve compiled the best clean beauty recommendations for you to look your best without iffy ingredients. What is the clean beauty movement, and why is it important? Goop explains why choosing clean beauty products is so important, “It means a non-toxic product that is made without a long, ever-evolving list of ingredients linked to harmful health effects. The personal care industry is effectively unregulated—the last piece of regulation (a single page at that), was passed in 1938—which means that companies are essentially free to do whatever they want, with no government oversight, packing products that we use every day (mascara, face wash, shampoo, et al.) with toxic ingredients, including known carcinogens and endocrine disruptors.” Learn more “The Dirty on Getting Clean.”
Just making small swaps can help reduce your exposure to ingredients linked to something as mild as skin irritations and as serious as cancers. The EU has regulated more than 1,300 of these ingredients compared to the US which has only banned 11. Our philosophy is to make the choices that make the most sense for you and your lifestyle – if you find a clean beauty product that works and it’s easy to make the switch – do it! Other products (looking at you, deodorant) may not fit your life, and that’s ok.

My Billie Razor
My Billie
My Billie Razor
Ladies, after testing a bunch of razors for women … I found the best. The magnetic dohickie that sticks to the side of the shower is cool. And the shave? Smooth. Super smooth, because it has some sort of a soap strip that makes the razor glide. The body wash (which is better than shave gel), which I considered omitting initially then splurged the extra $9 is DEFINITELY worth it. No razor is going to make shaving the best part of your morning, but My Billie makes the chore a little less horrible.
