Five affordable clean beauty brands in Singapore

The beauty industry has seen a rise in demand for clean beauty products – products that are made with the health of our bodies and the environment in mind.

This comes after people realised that many regular products contain chemicals and unnecessary filler ingredients that do more harm than good. On the other hand, clean beauty products use non-toxic ingredients like natural oils and plant extracts.

As they are made with ethically sourced-ingredients, clean beauty is less harmful to our skin. It is also more environmentally-friendly. 

To get started with clean beauty, you can consider swapping your regular cleanser, moisturiser and deodorant for cleaner alternatives. 

With that, here are five brands in Singapore that you can try. 

The Gentle Label was started by former art director Genevieve Tan as a means to create products that are safe for everyone, including children. The brand features safe and non-toxic beauty essentials that can be used daily. 

The Gentle Label’s products are made for everyone no matter their gender, age, or skin type. 

Each product is formulated with a high percentage of organic ingredients, without any filler or synthetic ingredients.

Their products are made with ethically-sourced plant-based ingredients including cold-pressed plant oils and butter, premium clay, and wild-harvested essential oils and herbs.

Aside from making products that are kind to the skin and the environment, Oasis Skin goes the extra mile to ensure that their packaging is zero waste –  you can bring your empty bottles and jars to the store for a refill at 10 per cent off.

While clean beauty may be better for your skin, its effectiveness still boils down to your own skin, as what may work for others may not necessarily work for you. As such, do take time to learn about your skin and research about clean beauty products that may work for you. 

Also, do keep the environment in mind. When you’re done with your clean beauty products, be sure to recycle or reuse the packaging if possible.
