While it may sound nice on the nose, it can actually include countless undisclosed, harmful ingredients protected as &#8220;trade secrets&#8221; under the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ewg.org\/news-and-analysis\/2018\/06\/80-years-later-cosmetics-chemicals-still-unregulated\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Food, Drug and Cosmetics Act of 1938<\/a>. &#8220;The body can mistake [these additives] for estrogen, and this fake influx can cause <a href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/vitamins-for-hormonal-imbalance\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">hormonal imbalances<\/a>,&#8221; she continues.\n\nOther <a href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/chemicals-in-skincare\/\">chemicals in skincare<\/a> to steer clear of include but aren&#8217;t limited to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC3249512\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">sulfates<\/a> (SLS and SLES), <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ewg.org\/skindeep\/ingredient\/702500\/FORMALDEHYDE\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">formaldehyde<\/a> (yep, the key ingredient in embalming fluid), <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pubmed\/21970597\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">mineral oil<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pubmed\/29086472\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">oxybenzone<\/a>.\n<h2>Do My Products Count as Clean Skincare?<\/h2>\nTo determine if a given product is clean, make sure you:\n<h3>Watch the Wording<\/h3>\nUnfortunately, there&#8217;s no regulatory oversight on the use of buzzy marketing words in this realm, such as natural, green, and yes, clean.\n\nFurthermore, if something&#8217;s natural or organic, that doesn&#8217;t necessarily mean it&#8217;s non-toxic. Similarly, just because something&#8217;s synthetic doesn&#8217;t mean that it&#8217;s harmful.\n\nIt&#8217;s also worth noting that while some brands may pride themselves on being free from certain harmful ingredients, others can still lurk under the radar. Simply put, the sad-but-true fact is that it&#8217;s typically up to the consumer to self-educate and diligently scan ingredient lists.\n<h3>Check Your Sources<\/h3>\nFor starters, ensure that the product in question is free from the harmful additives mentioned above\u2014many of which are disguised under other monikers. <em>Smooth criminals, I tell ya!<\/em>\n\nNext, if you&#8217;re shopping at Sephora, products with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sephora.com\/beauty\/clean-beauty-products\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Clean at Sephora<\/a> designation are a good starting point. Additionally, newer retailers including <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thedetoxmarket.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The Detox Market<\/a> are setting the standard for non-toxic beauty.\n\nFinally, you can consult resources such as EWG&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ewg.org\/skindeep\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Skin Deep<\/a> database and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thinkdirtyapp.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Think Dirty<\/a> app to search and scan safety ratings of a range of personal-care products.\n<h2>My 7 Go-To Clean Skincare Picks<\/h2>\nFTR, there&#8217;s no need to wipe your entire shelf clean and start from square one.
