What is Clean Beauty?

Hi, I’m Melanie — lovely to meet you! I’m the founder of da lish cosmetics, and I’m here to cut through the noise and give you clarity on what Clean Beauty really means. You can read more about me here .

Clean Beauty = products that are safe for people, animals, and the planet — free of toxic chemicals, cruelty-free, vegan, and made with care.

Organic & Natural

Plant-based, non-GMO, pesticide-free, and as close to nature as possible.
Designed to nourish your skin without harmful additives.

Common Toxic Ingredients to Avoid

Parabens: Preservatives that mimic estrogen, linked to hormone disruption and cancers.
Fragrance & Phthalates: Synthetic chemicals often hidden under “fragrance” that may harm hormones.
Ethoxylated Agents (PEGs, SLS, Sulphates): Harsh cleansers that strip natural oils and may be carcinogenic.
Formaldehyde: Preservative found in nail polish, keratin treatments, and some makeup — recognized carcinogen.
Petrochemicals (Mineral Oil): Accumulates in the body, environmentally hazardous.
Talc: Can be contaminated with asbestos — carcinogenic.
Silica: Common in powders and primers; non-biodegradable and potentially harmful.

Product Safety & Expiration

Foundation & Concealer: 2 years from opening
Lipsticks, Lip Gloss & 3-in-1 Balms: 2 years from opening (Tip: clean regularly with tissue)
Mascara: 6 months (avoid eye infections)

Fact: Skin absorbs products fast — some ingredients reach your bloodstream in under 30 seconds! Treat your personal care like food: know what’s going in.

Regulation Reality

No makeup, including natural or clean products, is strictly regulated by Health Canada or the FDA.
It’s the manufacturer’s duty to ensure safety — which is why choosing trusted, clean brands like da lish matters.

Why Clean Beauty Matters

Cancer rates for women under 40 are rising — protecting your body starts with conscious choices.
Less chemicals = healthier skin, body, and planet.
Using clean, safe products is a simple way to support your long-term health.
