Detox with Clean Skincare

What is Clean Skincare?

Clean skincare, a current trend in cosmetics, is intended to ensure greater safety and transparency in the ingredients used in skin care. The term results from the attempt to make pure, high-quality and effective cosmetics easier to understand and to focus on the INCI list of a care product - as the basis for a well-considered purchasing decision. This also includes the highest possible skin compatibility - especially for sensitive skin and skin prone to blemishes. There are currently no specific standards for the ingredients of clean skincare. Clean skincare is in any case free of ingredients that are controversial in terms of health or harmful to the environment. These include, for example:

• Mineral oil (petrolatum or paraffinum liquidum): It is often used as a substitute for high-quality vegetable oils and accumulates in the human body, as a research study in 2011 was able to prove.
• Microplastics: They are hardly biodegradable and accumulate in the organism as well as in the environment.
• Hormonally active ingredients: These are plasticizers such as phthalates, synthetic UV filters such as benzophenone, octocrylene and ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate or preservatives such as triclosan, which are also used as biocides or disinfectants. These substances have been proven to impair fertility. Benzophenone is also associated with changes in the ovaries and thyroid problems.

At myrto, clean skincare means effective natural ingredients, maximum skin compatibility and transparency. That's why our active ingredient cosmetics are free of any questionable ingredients and 100% vegan. In addition, all myrto products are certified cruelty-free by PETA.

Clean Skincare for an improved complexion

Here we have some detox tips for you on how you can purify your body and at the same time sustainably improve your skin.

• Detoxify the body
  To get the body moving again, exercise and fitness are on the agenda - that means more vitality and well-being through detoxification and purification. While exercise, sport and a healthy diet with "clean eating" cleanse and purify the body from the inside, the right detox skin care with clean skincare ensures gentle detoxification from the outside. This brings tired, dull or blemished skin back into balance and strengthens its natural resistance.
• Minimalist Cosmetics: Less is More
  Especially when you have skin problems, it is tempting to try all kinds of products with a long list of promising active ingredients - in the hope that one of these ingredients will make all your skin problems disappear. But if you use a variety of care products that are not coordinated with each other, your skin will fight back: either with blemishes, dryness, redness or irritation. If your skin is then also burdened with unnecessary additives, its condition will almost certainly get worse. What really helps is a minimalist facial care routine with natural, pure ingredients that are limited to the essentials.
• No controversial or unnecessary additives
  Especially for sensitive skin, it is important to understand which ingredients are good for our skin and which we should definitely avoid. Controversial or environmentally harmful raw materials such as petroleum-based mineral oils, parabens, plasticizers or nanoparticles should not be included under any circumstances. This is actually a given with pure natural cosmetics. However, other unnecessary additives that irritate sensitive skin, such as synthetic preservatives - described as "nature-identical" -, skin-weakening emulsifiers, surfactants, alcohol or fragrances are unfortunately found in almost all conventional natural cosmetics.
• Simplified skin care routine
  If you have cleaned your face for a while with the Cleansing Oil & Make-up Remover or the myrto Cleansing Cream, you will notice the improved condition of your skin. The puristic formulas with deliberately few ingredients and no unnecessary additives refine the skin's appearance, work deep into the pores and are extremely gentle and nourishing. Skin impurities are removed from their breeding ground, and a clear, radiant complexion is the reward. Our skin-identical organic day creams without emulsifiers, which strengthen your skin barrier, are an ideal addition to this. All myrto face creams contain beta-glucan from the germ layer of oats. This powerful natural ingredient strengthens the skin's immune system, soothes irritations, redness or impurities, stimulates collagen production and counteracts premature skin aging.
• Detox hair and scalp care
  For detoxifying hair and scalp care, we recommend the myrto Ultramild Free Organic Shampoo. The hypoallergenic formula is free of unnecessary additives, sulfates, fragrances or alcohol. Ultramild Free contains the active ingredients that gently cleanse a sensitive scalp without unnecessarily degreasing it - for a balanced scalp and strong, healthy hair.
