Glow Girl Certified Clean Skin Care: Best in Female Founded Companies

International Women’s Month Series Part 2

As part of my International Women’s Month Series, this week I’m highlighting female leaders in clean skincare who are killing it in the clean beauty movement. Let's celebrate the women who help create a safe and less toxic world for us! Keep reading to see who made the list and what exact products are Glow Girl Certified (GGC).  

I know how difficult it can be to find products that are as clean as they are effective! I switched to using mostly clean products about five years ago after dealing with some health issues. As an editor for over 20 years, I’ve tried everything--I love to road-test and compare products and then share the best picks with you. The world of clean beauty is confusing and there are so many choices now so I hope this list makes it easy for you to find some best-in-class brands and products.  

None of the products listed below contain parabens, phthalates, sulfates, formaldehyde, BHT, fragrance, and many other hormone and endocrine disruptors. I hope you join me and make cleaner choices when choosing your products to avoid ingredients that may cause future health problems. 

Scroll down to see and shop the GGC list with everything from cleansers to serums, moisturizers, eye creams, and more. The good news is, you will not be sacrificing quality and effectiveness by using these cleaner alternatives!
