With each passing year, it feels like I’m more and more focused on buying clean in all areas of life, from food to fashion and beyond. But what about our perfume? It’s something we wear everyday, spray onto our skin and clothes and head out into the world with a signature scent. Until recently, I hadn’t given much thought to how my perfume was made and what it’s made of. Then I discovered Clean Beauty Collection and their Clean Reserve fragrances, made of sustainable farm-to-fragrance ingredients, ethically sourced and blended!
Clean Reserve fragrances are eco-conscious and sustainable, available in 10+ scents and various travel kits! I tried “Warm Cotton”, a super clean and inviting smell with notes of benzoin, a sweet resin from Laos.
Clean Beauty Collective partners with local harvesters there, who carefully extract this resin from tree bark. They harvest from April to July, protecting the trees and allowing them to produce more resin during the winter months.
The benzoin extraction process provides additional income to thousands of families in Laos, and Clean Beauty Collective supports the harvesters’ own long-term plans for sustainable development initiatives. Can your perfume do that?!
In a time where almost every choice we make can have an impact, choosing a brand like Clean Beauty Collective is a no brainer.
And in case you’re not a “Warm Cotton” kinda gal…
Here’s a bit more about where their scents come from:
Solar Bloom – Vetiver is sourced sustainably from Haiti in support of a program which provides education and health care for the farmers and their families. To further support the farmers, Clean Reserve funds a program that provides safe drinking water to the community.
Acqua Neroli – Mandarin Oil is cultivated from Brazil where local growers harvest this fruit with great care. They’re committed to extracting only the highest quality oil through transparent processes.
Skin – Made with sustainable vanilla from Madagascar in support of their program which provides drinking water wells and medical facilities for the farming communities and supports reforestation projects.
Be sure to check out Clean Beauty Collective and their Clean Reserve fragrances, and if you do, don’t forget to let me know what you think!
