Popular Q&A's for Makeup

1. What are the benefits of using natural makeup?

Natural makeup enhances your features with the goodness of nature. These products are formulated with gentle, skin-loving ingredients like botanical extracts, minerals, and fruit pigments, nourishing your skin while providing beautiful, flawless foundation coverage and long lasting cosmetic colours. 

2. Is natural makeup as effective as traditional mainstream products?

Absolutely! Natural makeup has evolved amazingly over the years, and many brands now offer high-performance, skincare-first makeup formulas that rival their conventional counterparts. Whether you're looking for long-lasting coverage, vibrant colors, or buildable sheers, you will find your perfect natural makeup match, without compromising on ingredients.

3. How do I switch my current makeup to natural alternatives?

Switching to a natural makeup routine doesn't have to be a daunting task. Instead of replacing your entire collection at once, simply swap out each product with a natural alternative as you run out. This gradual approach allows you to experiment with new brands and discover your favorites without feeling overwhelmed. Focus on finding natural versions of your everyday essentials like foundation, mascara, and lipstick. And remember, I'm always here to help!

4. What makes Clean Nectarine different to other natural beauty stores?

Clean Nectarine was born from a desire to recreate the magic and trust of my first company, Nourished Life. After I sold NL in 2017, the new owners started adding products that didn't comply with my strict ingredient policy. We meticulously curate our collection, ensuring every product meets our strict "NO" list so you can shop confidently, knowing that every product has been carefully vetted.

5. What specific ingredients do you avoid that I might find in other natural beauty stores?

We go above and beyond typical natural standards. Our strict "NO" list bans ingredients often found in other makeup products marketed as "natural", including Phenoxyethanol, Silicones, and Talc. We meticulously check every product label, so you might notice we don't always stock a brand's full range (e.g., Benecos, Acure, Andalou Naturals, Ethical Zinc). This is because some items may contain ingredients that don't comply with our strict policy.
