ABOUT US

Hi friends! I'm Joy Kakabeeke, a wife, mother, and founder of CLEAN BEAUTY by joy. I never expected to start a makeup company. In fact, most weeks I found myself only wearing makeup on Sundays simply as a courtesy to those I would see at church! For over 5 years I had been making the necessary changes in my household and personal care products to reduce my use and exposure to harmful chemicals and ingredients but I was always falling short when it came to my makeup. When I found a cosmetic that claimed to be safe, I’d check out the ingredients and would always find ingredients that were far from safe. Yes, it was likely a safer choice than traditional makeup, but I wanted something truly safe. When I finally found a couple companies that offered safe products, there were two major problems I encountered: 1) the makeup didn’t perform well; 2) it was too expensive

Now that I’ve ventured into the world of cosmetics, I totally understand why our makeup is priced the way it is. It’s an expensive process to create custom formulas, package, distribute, market, ... but I was still convinced there had to be a way to create a makeup line that was truly safe, high-performing, long-lasting, and didn’t break the bank. CLEAN BEAUTY by joy is simply a solution to the problems I discovered in the makeup available. Isn’t that how most businesses get their start? Solving a problem?

My daughter became a teenager in 2019 and I have been doing all I can to create a healthy, safe environment for her to live in since she was seven. Before then, I simply was unaware of the dangers of harmful chemicals. Now that I’m educated on these matters, I use Norwex to clean our home, wash our clothes, and wash our bodies. I use Norwex’s personal care products like deodorant, toothpaste, lotion, lip balm, and their naturally timeless skincare line. (You can check out more info about Norwex on my page - facebook.com/cleanbyjoy and on my website.) We eat organic, grass fed, non-gmo, etc. as often as possible and I exercise regularly. Harmful chemicals affect our health more than many people realize and I don’t want my daughter to be faced with the same issues I faced as an adult - infertility issues, thyroid issues, fibromyalgia, food sensitivities, severe allergies, and thyroid eye disease. As she begins to experiment with makeup, I am now confident she will be able to enjoy it and I will be able to sleep easily knowing I’ve provided her with the best chance at a healthy life.

You and your loved ones deserve the best as well. If you have any questions about how to safely and simply toss the toxins, please let me know. I am happy to help.
