5 Signs Your Eye Makeup Isn’t As Clean As It Claims
Greenwashed or genuinely clean? Here's how to tell.
In today’s beauty world, terms like “clean,” “natural,” and “non-toxic” are everywhere—but not always what they seem. Just because an eyeliner or mascara looks clean doesn’t mean it’s safe for your sensitive eye area.
So how can you tell if your eye makeup is actually clean—or just marketing dressed up in a pretty tube?
Here are 5 signs your eye makeup might not be as clean as it claims:
1. The Ingredient List Reads Like a Science Textbook
If you're staring at a long list of unpronounceables, odds are you're getting a dose of synthetic fillers, binders, or preservatives. Truly clean beauty keeps it simple—ingredients from nature you can recognize and trust.
2. It Lacks Transparency About Sourcing + Safety
A clean beauty brand will tell you what’s in it, why it’s there, and where it came from. If your product page or packaging doesn’t list full ingredients or hides behind vague claims, it might be more marketing than clean formulation.
3. It Irritates or Makes Your Eyes Water
This one's a no-brainer. If your eyeliner or mascara burns, stings, itches, or makes your eyes run, that’s your body saying: nope. Clean products should feel invisible—even after a full day of wear.
4. It Still Contains Questionable Legacy Ingredients
Ingredients like parabens, carbon black, PEGs, coal tar dyes, and BHT have been flagged for safety concerns for years—but they still sneak into traditional eye makeup formulas. Clean brands? They’ve long since said goodbye.
5. There’s No Mission Beyond the Makeup
Clean beauty isn’t just about the ingredients—it’s about intention. A truly clean brand is usually built around values like sustainability, cruelty-free testing, eco packaging, and ingredient integrity. If your eye makeup doesn’t reflect that, it might not be as clean as it claims.
