Have you heard the term “clean beauty”?
Whether this is the first time you’re hearing it or you heard it years ago, the topic is an important one because it affects all women everywhere.
Clean beauty is referring to personal care products that are free from harmful ingredients.
And there are a lot of harmful ingredients in standard beauty products.
Over 89% of ingredients in beauty products have never been tested for safety. (Source) The beauty industry is largely unregulated and many chemicals that are banned in other nations are still used here in the United States.
The average women applies up to 168 chemicals via personal care products daily. (Source) What we put on our skin matters because it can be absorbed into our bloodstream. (Source) That’s a lot of opportunity for toxin exposure.
Higher levels of “forever chemicals” – which are often present in personal care products – have been found in women diagnosed with various cancers. (Source)
So, now you know…
…what clean beauty is and why it matters.
But I know you also came here to find out about Beautycounter, why I love them and why I chose to become a brand advocate.
First, it’s important to note that Beautycounter is a direct-to-consumer retail brand. You don’t have to shop through a brand advocate – although it’s a lot more fun and helpful if you do! Reach out to me for personal recommendations! We’re even at Ulta now which is super exciting!

Let me count the ways.
I love Beautycounter because our products – and our methods, too! – are truly setting the standard in the clean beauty movement. We do many things that even other clean beauty companies don’t do to make sure that our products do not use harmful chemicals in our formulations.
In other words: they are clean.
Beautycounter has over 118 products certified by the Environmental Working Group (EWG), including the Countersun Mineral Suncreen Lotion, among the first sunscreens to receive the rating. (Source)
- We have over 2,800 ingredients on our never list.
- We meticulously vet even our clean ingredient sources for cross contamination
- We’ve audited 100% of our trusted mica suppliers in person. (Our shimmer is mindfully sourced.)
- We advocated for the Natural Cosmetics Act, the first U.S. bill to combat beauty industry greenwashing
I also love Beautycounter because our products perform. They actually do what you need them to do. Which isn’t something a lot of other clean beauty companies can say. Their ingredients may be clean, but do their formulations perform? That’s the difference. If you’re spending hard earned money on products, you definitely don’t want them introducing toxins into your body but you also really need them to work – to combat sun damage, smooth fine lines and wrinkles, even out your complexion, resurface, brighten, etc.
The third reason I love Beautycounter is because of the opportunity it has given me to grow a small business and supplement my family’s income. All while staying at home with my sweet kiddos. That has been priceless to me. The really neat thing is: you can make this opportunity what you want it to be. You can crawl, walk or run. You can keep it a part time gig or make it your full-time income. It flexes and grows with you. Beautycounter has one of the best compensation plans in the country: 25-30% commission isn’t too shabby. No minimum purchase during the month either.
Other reasons to love Beautycounter
