National Clean Beauty Day is Friday, July, 15th and we have all the goodies today on Good Day Sacramento. From the OGs of clean beauty to iconic brands that are making strides to clean up their formulas, we’ve got all the info for you today on Good Day Sac.

Starting off with the OG of Clean Skincare:
MyCHELLE DermaceuticalsThe OG of Clean Beauty, MyCHELLE is a leader in the clean skincare movement for over 20 years now. The brand is extensive with a motto of Honesty, Transparency, and Authenticity. Founded in 2000 in Colorado, MyCHELLE is the original innovator of clean skincare. 

Brand philosophy: Since day one, we have worked to be positive and active agents of change in the world by making highly effective products that are inspired by nature. We continue to lead in creating effective, Eco-friendly products that are science-driven and help to get real results for all skin types. We are committed to full transparency around our ingredients.

We are proud to be a founding member of the Environmental Working Group’s “Verified for Your Health” program, a PETA-certified cruelty-free company and certified by Leaping Bunny. And, YES, we’ve been making reef-safe sun care for over a decade! Proudly all MyCHELLE products are Vegetarian, Cruelty-free, and Free of Phthalates, Parabens, Petroleum, Sulfates, Ureas, Artificial Fragrances, and Colors.

Let’s talk CLEAN MAKEUP! Color cosmetics have a reputation for being straight-up toxic. Plastics and harsh dyes and fragrances were something that we simply never knew about until brands started pointing out what they WEREN’T putting in their formula. These next two brands are uber clean and deliver product after product without compromising any GLAM! 

If you haven’t seen ILIA on your social media feed, then you simply aren’t on social media. Their C Beyond Triple Serum has an SPF 40 and rocks one of the cleanest and enviro-friendly formulas and the Limitless Lash Mascara is truly a game changer.
Brand Philosophy  Skincare-Powered Makeup PERFORMANCE DRIVEN. EFFECTIVE. SAFE. THIS IS THE HEART OF CLEAN BEAUTY. We are carving out a new path in beauty, by balancing safety with product performance. We dare to ask how products are made and choose clean, effective ingredients that work. With roots in organic bases, vivid color, and active botanicals, its makeup infused with skincare. Being mindful that not every natural ingredient is good for the skin, nor is every synthetic bad. It usually requires a combination of both to achieve a truly exceptional product.

I was first introduced to Honest when I was looking for a clean baby wash and diapers. Now, the brand has expanded into clean makeup and skincare. The Fresh Flex Concealer is downright awesome and has an impressive shade range. We are also big fans of the Tinted Lip Balms.
Brand Philosophy: WE MAKE CLEAN, SUSTAINABLE, WELL-DESIGNED PRODUCTS THAT WORK. Health and wellness are a universal foundation for a life well-lived and I believe it’s our responsibility to leave the world better than when we found it. We care about all people and the planet.
 

The Best Clean Beauty Multitasker
Sunscreen has become a hot topic in the dirty cosmetics world. We’ve learned that mineral is best but not all mineral protection is clean and safe. This is why I really wanted to introduce you to CoTZ, just in case they haven’t hit your radar. Yes, their entire line is super silky and super clean but the Prime and Protect SPF 40 is quite simply the most amazing multitasking product I’ve met. Alone, It creates a golden glow on skin while it protects. And if you want to wear it under your makeup, it works as one of the most line smoothing primers I’ve used. Just amazing! 
Brand Philosopy: We care deeply about providing the safest, healthiest way to protect your skin.
CōTZ was founded in 2002 by a plastic surgeon whose singular mission was to create healthier mineral sunscreens that people want to wear daily. The result was an all-mineral sunscreen collection that feels elegant while keeping your skin safe from harmful UVA-UVB rays. CŌTZ® STANDS FOR: Contains Only Titanium & ZincCōTZ® contains no chemical sunscreens, which can be irritating, penetrate your skin, and absorb UV energy. Mineral sunscreens are inherently gentle and work by reflecting away harmful rays. So you never have to worry about harmful rays heating up and absorbing into your skin.
