    National Clean Beauty Day, July 15, Celebrates the Movement to Clean Up the Beauty Industry

    Northern California-based Juice Beauty 
    has led the Clean Beauty movement
    and celebrates its 15th birthday

    National Clean Beauty Day Today and Clean Beauty & Wellness Pioneers, Juice Beauty, have designated July 15 as National Clean Beauty Day to celebrate both the Clean Beauty Movement and Juice Beauty’s 15th Birthday.

    The clean beauty movement is intended to raise awareness about the high efficacy of organic ingredients products as well as the avoidance of potentially harmful ingredients in cosmetic products.

    Juice Beauty has been cleaning up the beauty space since 2005, leading the way for the cosmetic and wellness industry, advocating for the importance of certified organic ingredients, sustainable production, and company practices. Juice Beauty products are vegan, cruelty-free, made with certified organic and plant-based ingredients and they have conducted impressive clinical testing revealing high efficacy formulas that can exceed conventional products.  In fact, ForbesCosmopolitan and Elle and more have dubbed Juice Beauty the “OG”, of the clean/green/natural beauty movement (and the Juice Beauty team subsequently nicknamed OG “Original Green” brand).  National Today is announcing this Clean Beauty Day as it is the internet’s leading source for fun holidays and important cultural moments.

    Juice Beauty, being the “OG” also has an organic farm in Sonoma County, California to bring ingredients from farm to beauty. “Our farm brings Juice Beauty’s organic ingredients to life and allows us to more closely connect with our antioxidant-rich ingredients. The farm serves as inspiration for future innovation and to provide ingredients for our products,” said founder Karen Behnke, who has dedicated her entire life to health, wellness, fitness and organic living. The Juice Beauty farm highlights Karen and the team’s California organic and wellness lifestyle and really brings to life of how organically farmed ingredients can have higher antioxidant performance.


    National Clean Beauty Day falls on the 15th birthday of the founding of Juice Beauty. In 2005, corporate wellness entrepreneur, Karen Behnke, had become passionate about the safety and efficacy of personal care products when, years before, she was pregnant with her babies in her 40’s and was worried about the absorption of potentially harmful personal care products ingredients. She became motivated to clean up the beauty space and set out to find healthy skincare solutions that delivered visible results.

    “When I founded Juice Beauty 15 years ago, the Clean Beauty movement didn’t exist,” Behnke said. “I turned my wellness passion to beauty, bought the trademark JuiceBeauty, and started the company from scratch. My premise was that filling with organic botanical juices + powerful plant-based ingredients would yield higher efficacy than conventional chemical products and have the added benefit of protecting humans, animals and the planet”.

    National Clean Beauty Day celebrates the movement toward change of using high efficacy natural, organic, and plant-based ingredients and avoiding the use of potentially harmful chemicals in beauty products. The focus of Clean Beauty Day is:

    • Raising awareness of the Clean Beauty Movement and the impact it can have on the entire beauty industry.
    • Help consumers focus on self-care and wellness, particularly in these tough pandemic times, and how we can better take of ourselves and our planet.

    Juice Beauty’s Green Apple Peel Exfoliating Mask was one of their first products to market, having earned a cult following among beauty experts and discerning consumers with its’ powerful organic fruit acids.  The Stem Cellular Collection is among ULTA Beauty’s nationwide bestsellers, based on Vitamin C, fruit stem cells, hyaluronic acid and more infused into a resveratrol rich grapeseed base. They are celebrating these breakthrough products during their 15th anniversary celebrations. Juice Beauty products are available on juicebeauty.com and major prestige beauty retailers including: Ulta Beauty, Credo Beauty, Sephora Canada, and more.

    7 CBD Gummies Flavors That Taste as Good as They Sound

    7 CBD Gummies Flavors That
    Taste as Good as They Sound

    If you haven’t heard of CBD yet, whether you keep reading this article or not, trust us, you will.

    Cannabidiol (CBD) is a chemical compound found in the hemp plant—yes, it’s different from marijuana—that is known for its host of therapeutic properties such as anxiety relief, stress reduction, muscle relaxation, and sleep induction.

    Basically, CBD is considered an overall wellness additive to its users’ lives, helping them in a variety of day-to-day capacities.

    And bonus, unlike THC—the psychoactive compound found in marijuana—CBD will not get you high.

    As a result, the benefits of CBD without the high have taken the world by storm, giving every day people greater access to natural forms of herbal medicine.

    Thankfully, CBD (also known as CBD oil) now comes in gummy form.

    Google CBD gummies and you’ll see a litany of different brands all hawking the same stuff, but what many brands fail to see when it comes to what makes a good gummy, well, good, is the taste.

    “Many brands” but certainly not all. One brand, in particular, chooses to focus on both taste and health offering sweet combinations of carefully sourced vitamins and nutrients in their CBD gummies.

    So, we ask you…have you ever tried one of these CBD gummies

    Who doesn’t enjoy the bold flavors a fresh herbal tea—and the associated health benefits aren’t too bad, either! These sweet herbal turmeric & spirulina gummies are packed with powerful antioxidants to relieve your body’s aches, pains, and inflammation, along with a healthy dose of CBD.

    3. Lemon-Burst Chamomile & Passionflower Melatonin

    4. Delicious Apple Cider Vinegar

    5. Juicy Cherry Biotin
