HEALERS & HEAL LINERS: 

  • Eliminating Toxic Ingredients: Thrive Causemetics is committed to removing harmful ingredients as new scientific research emerges. They never include parabens, sulfates, and petrochemicals in their products and work with oncologists like Dr Elizabeth Comen to make products safe and effective.
  • Use Clean Ingredients: Find products with ingredients like coconut oil and derivatives of coconut oil, like caprylic acid which creates hydrations and a really nice cushiony feel to a lip gloss. 
  • Clean Beauty Fast Routine: Use a tinted sunscreen as both sun protection and a light foundation alternative & Thrive’s Triple Threat Color Stick for cheeks, eyes, and lips.
