Lunaescent is a patent pending multipurpose beauty tool designed for the application of skincare as well as massaging and depuffing without using fingers. No fingers, no germs, no waste. Lunaescent can be used with any type of skincare such as oils, serums, lotions, sunscreen, and even medicated creams and makeup. Each kit comes with two Platinum grade silicone pads - one is smooth for application and the other pad is textured for massaging and depuffing. The pads are completely non-absorbant and easy to clean and maintain. They can be stored in the freezer for a refreshing massage or warmed in the microwave for better absorption of oils and serums. Lunaescent is a new product category. It is the only tool on the market designed specifically for application of skincare, as well as massaging and depuffing without using fingers. It extends the life of skincare products by avoiding contamination and absorption by fingertips. With pricy skincare products sometimes costing upwards of hundreds of dollars, Lunaescent will make sure that every drop is used more effectively and goes farther. One recent satisfied Amazon customer called it a "magic wand" that "truly cuts down half of the product as most was absorbed by fingers/hands." Lunaescent is available on Lunaescent's website (lunaescent.com) as well as Beauty Bridge, eCosmetics, and Amazon. —— Learn more, connect and enjoy my favorites mentioned: https://bio.site/Cassandramcclure Order a custom Clean Beauty Kit: cleanbeautykit.com Official website: CassandraMcClure.com wear lashes? this is for you: LashBinder.com code: CLEANBEAUTYPODCAST for $5 off your entire order + free shipping anywhere in the US!

Can mascara change the world? Christie Kerner, CEO of My Little Mascara Club sure thinks so. You see, at My Little Mascara Club, they're doing more than delivering luscious lash formula to mascara lovers everywhere... They're also building a community where women can connect and share their wisdom to help lift each other. A shorter wand makes it SO much easier to apply MASCARA. Your hand is closer to your eye [better coordination, more steadiness], You can get better angles [for beautiful, fanned lashes on the edges]. A smaller mascara is healthier (bye bye bacteria), hello fresh eyes. FDA says toss it out regularly, big ones just last too long. The smaller size also means the tube doesn't dry out and get all clumpy before it's empty. No more throwing away half empty mascaras and NO MORE CLUMPS. learn more at: mylittlemascaraclub.com

Catharine started ENERGYbits after her sister was diagnosed with breast cancer and advised by her oncologist that an alkaline diet would help her heal. Catharine immediately sprung into action to help her sister research alkaline foods and in the process she discovered algae. When Catharine learned that algae was the most alkaline, plant-based, nutrient-dense food in the world and had been used for fifty years in Asia to improve health and longevity, she knew she had discovered something big (and yes, her sister fully recovered - thanks for asking). As Catharine dug into the science of algae, she learned it had 64% protein, 40 vitamins/minerals and was endorsed by the United Nations and NASA as the most nutrient dense food in the world. She also discovered there were 100,000 studies documenting its long list of benefits and it was the most sustainable, eco-friendly food crop in the world. And yet algae remained virtually unknown outside of Asia. How could this be possible? Catharine knew algae could be a game changer for our health, our children and our world if she could only convince people it wasn't weird. And so ENERGYbits was born. It took Catharine ten years to bring algae into the mainstream and build ENERGYbits into a national company. We're glad she finally did, because now you and your family can benefit from our naturally grown, toxin-free, Non-GMO algae tablets too. A handful will help satisfy your hunger, help give you steady energy, and help ensure your nutritional needs are met. All this from a food that has one ingredient, no chemicals, caffeine, sugar or processing and is the most sustainable, safe, eco-friendly, crop in the world - algae. Your body and Mother Earth say thank you. And we do too. Learn more about the brand and founder: energybits.com  Learn more about the show: Cleanbeautypodcast.com Host: Cassandramcclure.com

Often, it has a devastating impact on minds too. That’s why acts of self-care, however small, are so important for all patients with a cancer diagnosis. Taking time - be it a day, an hour or even just a few minutes - to look after yourself, mentally and physically, can help manage the many issues the disease brings”, states Dr. Singhal. She decided to help cancer patients by applying her expertise in selecting products that are suitable for cancer patients. Her mission with Hope & Beauty is to assist cancer patients as they’re recovering from cancer treatment. Dr. Singhal recognizes how important it is for cancer patients to look and feel good about themselves while they fight cancer, and recover from it.

60% of high quality Mica that goes into cosmetics comes from India, where child mining and worker exploitation is the norm. Children as young as 5 work in the unsafe mines everyday and often become injured and die.

Yin Yin was born and raised in a traditional Chinese family in the South of China, where traditional herbs were an integral part of her family’s health and well-being. At the age of 13 the family moved to Hong Kong. Several years later they migrated to the United States, where Yin Yin pursued her degree in Mechanical Engineering at San Francisco State University. For more than 10 years, she built a professional career in energy efficiency and sustainability. “Greenwashing” products were the motivation for Yin Yin to create organic skin care. Back in 2015 she came across a moisturizer that was marketed as a natural product. After using the moisturizer for about a month, she noticed her skin became dryer and more sensitive. Yin Yin researched the ingredient list and found out that many ingredients were, for the most part, petrochemicals and highly irritating preservatives. In some ways, finding this out made her feel cheated and upset. At that moment she set up her goal to create an authentic natural skin care brand. Yin Yin doesn’t have a chemistry degree, but she learned skin care formulation in a very practical way by researching and studying natural ingredients. Fortunately a lot of what her grandmother and mother taught her about herbs I was able to apply it to better understand and select the ingredients in her formulations. Yin Yin took various natural skin care formulation courses, as well as the Skin Care Ingredients for Cosmetic Professionals course at the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA). After four years of research and development, the organic skin care brand Laloirelle (pronounced /la-lôr-ræl/) was launched in early 2019. Laloirelle is taking natural skin care to the next level by formulating its products using over 50 organic herbal ingredients, innovative plant stem cells and a maximum hyaluronic acid formulation dosage. Many of Laloirelle’s skin care products contain a minimum of 95% USDA Organic Certified ingredients. Laloirelle's cutting edge products may be used for a variety of skin concerns and conditions. Laloirelle is devoted to using only sustainable, quality ingredients, which are transparently and ethically sourced. They are happy to maintain a list of banned ingredients on their official website, making sure none of these harmful and toxic chemicals make it into what they offer to their valued customers.

It all started when Karen, who built one of the first corporate wellness companies in the country, developed a keen interest in personal care products upon becoming pregnant with her first child at the age of 40. Experiencing hormonal changes and the beginning of lines in her skin, Karen set out to find healthy skincare solutions that delivered visible results. She was astounded to learn that, although the skin absorbs over 60% of what is placed on it, there were very few available healthy personal care products that worked well. She wanted to create meaningful change in the beauty industry. Years after her second child was born, Karen subsequently bought the name “Juice Beauty” in 2004 and launched the company from scratch in 2005. Karen set out to do the impossible: to create organic and natural formulations that perform as well as conventional beauty products yet never compromise on the luxurious experience. Over 5 years, Karen’s team worked with PhD chemists, physicians, and microbiologists to perfect Juice Beauty’s chemistry. Juice Beauty’s revolutionary formulations started with a basic premise: Karen believed that by formulating with an antioxidant and vitamin-rich organic botanical juice base, rather than petroleum derivatives or added water, and combining it with powerful skincare ingredients, it could yield equal or better results than conventional or natural products. Multiple clinical testing proved her right. The company really started growing when the GREEN APPLE® Peel – now patented – escalated to fame through celebrity favorite mentions and media awards. Today, Juice Beauty offers award winning (InStyle, ELLE, Allure, Glamour, EWG) skincare and makeup products that meet rigorous USA organic regulations supported by solid eco-values that include purchasing many ingredients locally from West Coast certified organic farmers and manufacturing strictly in the USA, often with solar & wind power, utilizing sustainable containers and printing with soy ink. Juice Beauty is committed to providing continual support to its non profit friends, Breast Cancer Prevention Partners and EWG / Environmental Working Group.   Watch this video interview with Cassandra and Karen at CleanBeautyPodcast.com Episode Sponsored by LashBinder.com
