Objectives: By presenting the "con" portion of this debate, attendees should understand that there is not a consistent definition of clean beauty and that many of the ingredients in skin care are not subject to the same regulations as medications.
Introduction: Clean beauty is a popular trend and many of companies cleaning to represent clean beauty are motivated by profit and not necessarily the benefit of the consumer. Many products claim to be "clean" in that they do not contain ingredients that have not been proven to be 100% safe. However, many of these products have not been studied in a rigorous manner to be able to claim that the product is safe.
Materials / method: Literature review to include peer reviewed publications as well as social media, product and company websites, and other publications such as news publications.
Results: Findings of the literature review will be discussed during the presentation.
Conclusion: At this time, there is not enough evidence to support the safety and efficacy of products claiming to be "clean" nor that existing products that contain "forbidden" ingredients are harmful.
