Canadian Clean Beauty Brands Compete with Top Conventional Brands
Clean beauty brands are the popular choice among consumers today, but that wasn’t always the case. Natural beauty and skincare used to be considered subpar to conventional brands. You’ll now see top retail stores carrying “clean” skincare, including Target and Sephora. Today, ‘Clean Beauty’ makes up 13 percent of high-end skin-care sales, a number that’s doubled in the last 5 years. Unsurprising, Clean beauty brands in Canada are on the rise and taking the lead.
So, what’s changed?
Clean beauty brands in Canada lead the way
Many consumers are looking for transparency from beauty brands. They want to know their products are good for them and the environment.Fortunately, Clean beauty brands have stepped up and become competitors in the international beauty market, including in Canada. They’ve moved away from simple formulas, which used to flood the clean beauty space. Instead, they’ve evolved and lead the way with clinically proven ingredients and formulas.
It’s time you try these Canadian clean beauty products!
