Clean beauty promises have gotten more complicated: Not only do they vow to hydrate or solve acne issues, many of them are cruelty-free, vegan, water-free, and sustainable. But what does that even mean in 2020? arabellesicardi explores ⤵️ FashionCrisis

With GMO-free good wishes? It takes water to grow a plant,” says Parker.
“More frustrating is the waterless beauty that actually has water in it,” Parker continues. “There are two workarounds that I’ve seen brands do. They’ll add ‘extract,’ or ‘proprietary blend,’ which means you can just add water to any active on the supplier side, and then your lab can legally put it first on the list, conveniently not mentioning there's water in that proprietary juice. They also switch out water for hydrosols. Hydrosols are perfumed water.
