[Culture & Life Department Reporters Choi Jeonghwa, Kim Heeyoung, Kim Eunji] Asia Economy's beauty life magazine LIKIT is launching 'Clean Life' to exclude harmful elements that threaten the future and create a more beautiful Earth. Under the slogan 'CONNECT WITH EARTH,' 'Clean Life' reflects on sustainable living that does not harm nature and animals.
Additionally, LIKIT selects 'Clean Life' products that exclude nine suspected harmful ingredients such as parabens and oxybenzone, focusing on three values: ▲For human ▲For animals ▲For nature. It also concentrates on cruelty-free products, eco-friendly packaging, and brands that pursue nature-friendly values.
Products selected as Clean Picks by LIKIT include 'Pure Castile Bar Soap' (Dr. Bronner's), 'Lubas Premium Toothpaste' (Lubas Bio), 'Daily Oil to Foam Cleanser' (Reallael), 'Calming Days' (Hustler), and 'Derma Green Tea Probiotics Cream' (Innisfree).
