People are becoming increasingly aware of the products they’re using on their skin, as many skincare professionals have been using their online platforms to debunk harmful products and skincare myths. From this, the “clean beauty” movement was born, and the term is used to describe brands and products that are free of harmful ingredients like parabens or sulphates. In the past few years, Egyptian brands have also begun to implement “clean” elements to their brands, with some even being born out of this movement. Here are five Egyptian clean skincare brands that are worth checking out.

 

Clementine Organics

Run by certified skincare consultants, Clementine Organics is a brand that not only uses its platform to promote its products but also to educate its audience about skincare. Rather than promise a magical cure-all product, their products target specific issues that people commonly struggle with, using wonderful ingredients like hyaluronic acid and Vitamin C. The best part about Clementine Organics is that they use their Instagram page to help people
build a healthy skincare routine based on their skincare concerns.

Here’s a brand that creatively blends skincare and makeup while using safe ingredients that professionals love. While their product list seems limited, this is because they have a vision to have makeup and skincare become one. Here’s how they’ve done it: their products consist of tinted moisturisers that also serve as sunscreen and are enhanced with hyaluronic acid, a great exfoliant, and niacinamide, which is a true miracle ingredient. An added benefit to their products is that they are vegan, cruelty-free, and safe to use during pregnancy.
