Sourced From Nature

Paul Mitchell Clean Beauty formulas are handcrafted with the highest level of natural origin without compromising professional performance. The botanical ingredients are sourced from a biodynamic open lab farm in Italy. The open-air green research lab consists of 21 hectares of farmland used for the organic farming of plants and allows the brand to test the best organic ingredients. Every ingredient in each Clean Beauty product is calculated to determine how much of the ingredient comes from natural materials. If an ingredient contains more than 50% of natural carbon content, it is considered naturally derived. The natural origin calculations come from an internationally recognized method of calculation, the ISO 16128 Standard. Each Clean Beauty product has its customized percentage with 78% or more natural origin, and the rest consists of scientific performance- driven ingredients.

Bio-Based Packaging

Paul Mitchell Clean Beauty uses an innovative bio-based packaging that is 90% derived from Brazilian sugarcane and 100% recyclable. Growing sugarcane for use in bio-plastic offsets carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas that is harmful to the planet and a leading cause of global warming. Unlike traditional petroleum-based plastic, bio-plastic eliminates more carbon than it emits, making it a carbon-negative packaging solution.

Renewable Energy

The Clean Beauty packaging and formulas are manufactured using renewable energy sources (such as solar and water power) which are more environmentally friendly than non-renewable energy sources such as fossil fuels (i.e., coal, oil and natural gas) which contribute to climate change by releasing carbon dioxide into the air when burned.
