When it comes to makeup, what you leave out matters… but what you put in matters even more.
Your skin is your largest organ. It absorbs what you apply daily. And for women who care about hormone balance, aging gracefully, and protecting their skin’s natural microbiome, ingredient quality isn’t optional — it’s essential.
At Clean Beauty by Joy, every formula is built around high-performing, organic ingredients that nourish your skin while enhancing your natural beauty.
Here are the top 4 organic ingredients you want in your makeup — and why they make all the difference.
1. Organic Castor Oil
Best for: Lashes, brows, hydration, skin barrier support
Organic castor oil is one of the most underrated powerhouse ingredients in clean beauty.
Why it matters:
-
Deeply hydrates without clogging pores
-
Supports healthy-looking lashes and brows
-
Rich in ricinoleic acid, known for soothing properties
-
Helps strengthen the skin barrier
In products like clean mascara or brow pomade, castor oil doesn’t just coat — it conditions. That means your lashes and brows look fuller and healthier over time.
Unlike synthetic waxes and petroleum-based fillers, organic castor oil works with your skin, not against it.
Find it in our Organic Radiance Serum, The One Organic Lipstick, and Vanilla Bean Lip Glaze
2. Organic Rosehip Oil
Best for: Mature skin, uneven tone, radiance
If you’re over 40 (or even 30), rosehip oil deserves a permanent place in your makeup and skincare routine.
Why it matters:
-
Naturally rich in vitamin A (retinoic acid precursor)
-
Supports smoother-looking skin
-
Helps improve the appearance of fine lines
-
Boosts glow without synthetic shimmer
Rosehip oil is especially beautiful in foundations and serums because it delivers a lit-from-within radiance — not the glittery, artificial kind.
For women wanting to age gracefully, this ingredient supports the skin’s natural renewal process without harsh chemicals.

3. Organic Aloe Vera
Best for: Sensitive skin, hydration, calming redness
Organic aloe vera is one of the most skin-compatible ingredients you can find in clean makeup — especially for women navigating hormonal changes.
Why it matters:
-
Deeply hydrates without heaviness
-
Soothes visible redness and irritation
-
Supports the skin’s natural healing process
-
Rich in vitamins, enzymes, and antioxidants
As estrogen levels fluctuate (especially after 40), skin can become thinner, drier, and more reactive. Aloe vera helps calm and replenish without clogging pores or disrupting the microbiome.
In primers, foundations, and tinted moisturizers, aloe helps makeup glide on smoothly while keeping skin comfortable all day.
This is hydration your skin recognizes.

4. Mineral-Based Pigments (Like Iron Oxides)
Best for: Safe, natural-looking color
Not all pigments are created equal. Synthetic dyes and FD&C colors can be irritating and disruptive — especially for sensitive or hormone-conscious women.
Why it matters:
-
Naturally derived from the earth
-
Gentle on sensitive skin
-
Provide beautiful, buildable color
-
Offer subtle protection against visible light
High-quality mineral pigments allow you to achieve flawless coverage without questionable additives.
When combined with organic oils and botanicals, they create makeup that enhances — not masks — your skin.
Why Organic Ingredients Matter More After 40
As we age, our skin becomes:
-
Thinner
-
More sensitive
-
Slower to repair
-
More reactive to harsh ingredients
Conventional makeup often contains:
-
Petroleum derivatives
-
Synthetic fragrance
-
Endocrine-disrupting preservatives
-
Drying alcohols
Over time, these can compromise your skin barrier and accelerate the very signs of aging you’re trying to conceal.
Clean, organic ingredients support:
✔ Hormone-conscious living
✔ A healthy skin microbiome
✔ Long-term skin vitality
✔ Graceful, radiant aging
And that’s exactly what we believe in at Clean Beauty by Joy.
The Bottom Line
Makeup should do more than cover.
It should nourish. Protect. Support. Enhance.
When you choose products formulated with:
-
Organic castor oil
-
Organic rosehip oil
-
Organic aloe vera
-
Mineral-based pigments
You’re choosing beauty that aligns with your health.
And that’s what true clean beauty is all about.
