What is Clean Skincare?
Clean Skincare as a current trend in cosmetics is intended to ensure more safety and transparency in the ingredients 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 a basis for a well-considered purchase decision. This also includes the highest possible skin compatibility - especially for sensitive skin and skin prone to impurities. There are currently no separate standards for the ingredients in Clean Skincare. In any case, Clean Skincare is free from ingredients that are controversial to health or harmful to the environment. These are, for example:
- Mineral oil (Petrolatum or Paraffinum Liquidum): It is often used as a replacement for high-quality plant oils and accumulates in the human body, as a research study showed in 2011.
- Microplastic: It is hardly biodegradable and accumulates in the organism and in the environment.
- Hormonally active ingredients: These are plasticizers such as phthalates, synthetic UV filters such as benzophenones, octocrylenes and ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate or preservatives such as triclosan, which are also used as biocides or disinfectants. These substances have been proven to affect fertility. Benzophenone is also associated with ovarian changes and thyroid problems.

Clean skincare for improved skin appearance
Here we have some detox tips for you on how you can purify your body and at the same time sustainably improve the appearance of your skin.
-
Detoxify the body
In order to get the body going again, exercise and fitness are on the program – That means more vitality and well-being through detoxification and purification. While exercise, sport and healthy eating 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, pale or impure skin back into balance and strengthens its natural resistance. -
Minimalist cosmetics: Less is more
Especially when it comes to skin problems, the temptation is great to try out all sorts of products with a long list of promising active ingredients - hoping that one of these ingredients will make all skin problems disappear. But if you use a variety of care products that are not coordinated with each other, your skin will resist: either with impurities, dryness, redness or irritation. If your skin is also burdened with unnecessary additives, its condition will almost certainly continue to worsen. What really helps is minimalist facial care 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 minerals, parabens, plasticizers or nanoparticles should under no circumstances be included. This is actually a given when it comes to purely natural cosmetics. However, other unnecessary additives that irritate sensitive skin, such as synthetic ones - described as "nature-identical" - Preservatives, skin-weakening emulsifiers, surfactants, alcohol or fragrances can unfortunately be found in almost all common natural cosmetics. -
Simplified skin care routine
If you have been using the Cleansing Oil & Make-up remover or the myrto Cleansing Cream, you will feel the improved condition of your skin. The puristic recipes with deliberately few ingredients and without unnecessary additives refine the complexion, have a deep pore effect and are extremely gentle and nourishing. The breeding ground for skin impurities is removed and a clear, radiant complexion is the reward. The ideal complement to this is our skin-identical organic day creams without emulsifiers that strengthen your skin barrier. All myrto face creams contain beta-glucan from the germ layer of oats. This powerful natural active ingredient strengthens the skin's immune system, soothes irritations, redness or impurities, stimulates collagen production and counteracts early skin aging. -
Detox hair and scalp care
For detoxifying hair and scalp care, we recommend the myrto Ultramild Free Bio 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 - for a balanced scalp and strong, healthy hair.
