The Clean beauty trend focuses on making skincare, makeup and personal care products safer, non-toxic and more natural. Cosmetic scientists employing green chemistry techniques ensure gentle, eco-conscious formulations. For instance, products are free from parabens, sulfates and synthetic fragrances, using natural ingredients softer for the skin.
