Clean Beauty Icon Details

Do you struggle with skin and scalp sensitivities or dryness? If so, you may want to shop these alcohol-free beauty products when looking for clean beauty products. Alcohol can be drying to the hair and skin, mainly if used frequently or in high concentrations. Alcohol-free products are also gentler and less likely to irritate while maintaining the health and integrity of your hair and skin barriers. Beauty Care Choices marks products as alcohol-free when they lack SD alcohol, denatured alcohol or isopropyl alcohol in their ingredient lists. We do not include fatty alcohols like cetyl, stearyl, and cetearyl alcohol.

Seeking cruelty-free products and brands for your beauty routine? Explore our Cruelty-Free selection, marked for their commitment to avoiding animal testing worldwide. These brands are certified by PETA, Leaping Bunny, or others, ensuring ethical practices. Please note, while cruelty-free, some products may contain animal byproducts obtained sustainably and ethically.

Fragrance-free products have no scent chemicals, ingredients or fragrance dispersants. Some people who can't tolerate fragrance can still use product with essential oils, but the labeling of this is tricky. The US does not require a product to list the source of the fragrance.

If you are one of the many people who cannot tolerate gluten, the protein found in wheat, barley and rye, then we help you identify products that contain no wheat, gluten or triticum (the Latin term for wheat which is often used in the ingredient list.)

No artificial colors means there are zero color additives, FDA approved or otherwise. This include, but not limited to, FD&C Dyes, D&C Dyes, CI number colorants, ect.

Organic means the ingredients in your products contain to manufacture herbicides, no artificial or synthetic colors, preservatives or chemical, no GMO's, come from a farming system with more sustainable land management and no routine use of antibiotics or pesticides.

Parabens in personal care products act as preservatives and antimicrobials. Parabens are inexpensive synthetic preservatives and therefore more popular than more expensive plant-based ingredients. The most common types of parabens used in cosmetics are: Butylparaben, Ethylparaben, Isobutylparaben, Isopropylparaben, Methylparaben and Propylparaben.

Many persons are very allergic to soy. Soy-derived ingredients, including genistein, also contain phytoestrogens. Certain ingredients such as triglycerides of oleic, linoleic and linolenic, saturated acids and Vitamin E, may be derived from soy rather than another source. We are working to identify these and letting you know.

Sulfates are synthetic chemicals used as cleansing agents and are typically found in household cleaners and detergents. For some Sulfates are too harsh for the hair and skin and are known to strip color and shine from the hair and skin. Two main types of sulfates used in shampoo are sodium lauryl sulfate and sodium laureth sulfate.

Vegan in beauty means the product, and anything used to create the product, has zero animal-based ingredients. No need for any of that here.
