Basics of Green Beauty – Tip Two No to Parabens

March 10, 2014

parabens

So beauties, we know a little more about why we should avoid Sodium Laureth and Lauryl Sulphates in your products, it is time to move on to Tip Two: No to Parabens!

As we discovered with SLS, we are pleased to see that many natural cosmetic and beauty companies are going to the effort to cut Parabens out of their products. However, as ‘Paraben’ is a blanket term for a whole host of chemical preservatives and fragrances, it can be a tricky one to spot and worse still, will have your tongue tied in no time.

Basics of Green Beauty – Tip One No to SLS

March 4, 2014
SLS

This little nasty was one of the first chemicals that I black-listed back in the early days. Thankfully, clean-conscious product companies are clearly labelling this one, so it is easy to recognise when it has been excluded (or when it’s included if you look carefully).

So lets get down to business beauties.

Ever noticed how your shampoos or body washes get that fun foaminess to them? All that foaminess comes from our friends Sodium Lauryl and Laureth Sulphate.

Unlocking the basics of green beauty

February 26, 2014

basics of green beauty

One part of the journey to becoming A Conscious Beauty, is making conscious choices every day about what we put on our skin, hair and nails.

We love bringing you beautiful products and spectacular ingredients, but we also recognise that some of you might be just starting out on A Conscious Beauty journey. Overwhelming yes, we know that feeling all too well, so we want to make it easy for you.

My personal journey has been over 15 years of discovery, from a pimply faced teenager to a young woman, I am still learning the good from the bad. As our world becomes filled with more and more (often hidden) toxic nasties, it is important that you have a basic understanding of what is in your beauty products.

Why you should go organic at that time of the month

Being A Conscious Beauty is about living a life that follows a holistic approach to beauty, both inside and out. For us, this means making conscious choices every day about the products that touch our skin. It is being confident that what you put on your skin, is as clean and natural as that green smoothie you devoured this morning.

One product often hidden from view (but plays a pivotal role every month for a large part of a women’s life) are personal hygiene products. Yes we are talking about tampons and pads. Yes Tampons and pads ladies!

One of my little secrets is that I have a number of girl crushes on female entrepreneurs (sprung!). One woman who recently stood out to me, is Aimee Marks and her Australian born and bred company – TOM Organic. She is all things tampons and pads, and her mission that started as a teenager has become an amazing organic product with a huge vision. While I could chat all day about her entrepreneurial skills, we should probably get down to the nitty-gritty of WHY organic tampons?

Hello Beauties of the world!

December 2, 2013

Hello and welcome beauties of the world, we are so excited to see you here in this magical space!

Now that we have your attention for a moment, you may be wondering who, what, when, how, why? Huh?

A Conscious Beauty was born in the early months of 2013 by two Sydney ladies and friends – Katherine and Ruby. It was during our weekend walks together, that we started to realise that we had something special in common.

We frequently chatted about how we were trying to master self-love, understand WTF clean eating was all about, natural beauty and how we could achieve all this while living in the big city. We knew we were not alone and wanted to share our journey towards holistic beauty with as many women possible.
