Cosmetics that love you as much as you love them

Every month, a clean beauty package includes a selection of cruelty-free beauty products made from natural ingredients. The package will get to you, even in Europe, South America and Asia.

If, twelve years ago, you were tempted to nourish your body with edible cosmetics that were completely natural and harmless, you would have quickly found yourself in a predicament. There was not a lot of it on the shelves of cosmetics stores, and we were able to count the brands with this kind of offer on the fingers of one hand.

Today, the situation is different. We can eat ourselves full with environmentally-friendly and user-friendly cosmetics, but what if abundance harms the selection. In the flood of products with one certificate or another, it is difficult to decide who to believe, and above all, which product to choose.

On the other side of the Atlantic, where the organic cosmetics market is much more developed, Claire Molyneaux, the founder of Clean Beauty Box, faced a similar dilemma. Clean Beauty Box is a monthly package of products from organic and animal-friendly cosmetics, which is, from this year on, also available to those living outside the US.

If you subscribe to the package of »clean beauty« for two months, a monthly box will cost you 42 dollars, while an annual subscription will lower its price by four dollars.

Claire embodies the experience of many who have decided to switch from conventional to natural cosmetics. »Years of allergies, irritated skin and autoimmune disorders, opened my eyes to what I was putting on my skin... and I was horrified.« At first, an entirely personal challenge to resist this gradually turned into a new lifestyle and a desire for raising the awareness of others. Thus, Clean Beauty Box was created. 

A package that costs about $40 per month, depending on the length of the subscription, does not only bring you cruelty-free cosmetics products made from natural and organic ingredients, but also allows you not to worry about running out of supplies of personal care products. 

Given the fact that we usually cannot find these products around every corner, this subscription also »relaxes« your free time. You can subscribe for two, six, or twelve months, and you always pay your subscription fee in advance.

Every time, the package has a theme and includes two to three beauty and/or make-up products. You never choose the products yourself, so it's best to go with the flow of the package trustees. The Clean Beauty Box mission is said to provide you with luxurious nourishing beauty products that will help you turn your beauty ritual into a healthy and safe daily practice.

The themes of each month rotate among product categories (for example, hair cosmetics), seasons (for example, skin care in winter), or healthy lifestyle (for example, detox products). And if you receive nicely-wrapped packages for long enough, your beauty products shelf will definitely get a new identity soon.  

At Clean Beauty Box, they send their monthly natural cosmetics packages to nearly 150 countries around the world, for the single price of 15 dollars per shipment.

It will get an identity that is based on elements from which cosmetics are created. This means that the products from the package are made from ingredients that are obtained cruelty-free and with the idea of our body and the environment in mind, and not from those that are proven harmful or at least are suspected of »being evil«. 

Therefore, you should almost feel like forming a new friendship. Or to put it as the Clean Beauty Box team would say, like the package was sent to you by your new BFF (best friend forever). The one who always has a trick up his/her sleeve or the one who always wants to help you out.

If you like these packages, you can give the subscription as a gift. However, if there are not enough products for you in the box each month, or you would like to indulge in something »outside the box«, they also have an online shop following the same commitments. 

So you can try them, verified through and through, by placing a one-time order, without becoming a guinea pig yourself. In fact there’s never going to be a guinea pig involved.
