The Nature of Beauty: insights, pioneers, and future visions for a 678Billion Industry
An Ibiza conversation on clean cosmetics, conscious leadership, and the rising movement of regenerative beauty.
“We’re not just talking beauty—we’re pioneering a planetary reconnetion to real beauty, the one that nourishes instead of harming.” Liana Silvey, Founder + CEO of The Conscious Community
When Beauty Meets Purpose
We are The Conscious Community: a collective platform dedicated to co-creating a regenerative future, we decided to meet each week to asset key aspects of our lives. ‘
On a quiet Tuesday morning at Juntos Farm, a group of health professionals, beauty practitioners, and regenerative business owners gathered—not for a product launch, but for a conversation. Over herbal tea and organic farm-to-table offerings, what began as an informal exchange soon became a mirror to a much larger shift:
What we place on our skin each day reflects the values we place on life itself.
Can beauty be a catalyst for regeneration—of the body, the land, and the economy?
The Reality Beneath the Surface
The global beauty industry is valued at over $677 billion. Yet despite its growth, a significant portion of its products still rely on toxic chemical ingredients—many of which are legally permitted, yet scientifically linked to long-term harm.
Parabens and phthalates disrupt endocrine function
Formaldehyde and related preservatives are classified carcinogens
Synthetic fragrances often contain unregulated chemical compounds
The regulatory gap is stark. The United States currently bans only 11 cosmetic ingredients; the European Union prohibits more than 1,400.
For consumers, professionals, and communities alike, this is more than a health issue.
It’s a call for systemic change.
The Numbers Speak for Themselves
The rise of clean and regenerative beauty is not a trend—it is a transformation in motion:
The organic beauty market has reached €14.83 billion, growing annually at 10%
Over 73% of consumers state they are willing to pay more for clean, ethical formulations
Searches for “clean beauty” rose by 300% in the last 12 months
This data confirms what we are seeing on the ground:
People are seeking products that reflect transparency, efficacy, and ecological responsibility.
Dala Beauty: A Case Study in Regenerative Entrepreneurship
Among the voices at the table was Berenice Lammers, founder of Dala Beauty Salon, the first beauty center in Ibiza with 100% organic products. Her story exemplifies what’s possible when business aligns with values.
After supporting her father through cancer treatment, Berenice began to question the ingredients in the products she used daily on her clients. Her research revealed an industry standard saturated with synthetic compounds and toxic agents.
“I realized I was putting petroleum and plastic into people’s bodies,” she told us. “If I wouldn’t want it for myself, how could I offer it to others?”
So she hunted for Spanish organic brands. And she found them—tiny regenerative labs like Amapola Bio Cosmetics, based in Segovia in a 3-square-meter passive house, formulating in deep collaboration with local farmers. She followed Mina Benito, an advocate of truly clean cosmetics. She connected with artisan producers in Madrid, Navarra, and beyond—all formulating with purpose, not marketing budgets.
Determined to offer an alternative, she built Dala Beauty with a commitment to:
Fully organic, fair-priced products
Local sourcing and small-batch producers
Transparent, science-based skincare education
Her goal?
To democratize clean beauty.
To make organic skincare accessible—not a luxury, but a right.
Today, Dala is a thriving model of what a clean beauty business can look like—economically viable, socially responsible, and ecologically aligned.
Regenerative Beauty: A Return to Function and Integrity
More than “natural” or “green,” regenerative skincare refers to formulas and practices that actively support:
Inflammation reduction
Hormonal balance
Skin microbiome restoration
Cellular detoxification and repair
Emotional regulation through sensorial care
This is where cosmetics move beyond aesthetics, and into wellness.
Your skin, when nourished properly, becomes a system of self-healing.
Your Beauty Routine Is a Political Act
Every product purchased influences a chain of decisions—from raw material sourcing to labor practices to packaging waste.
When choosing regenerative brands, the impact is profound:
Regenerative agriculture captures up to 1.85 tons of CO₂ per hectare
Soil health improves, water systems are protected
Local economies are strengthened
Biodiversity increases by up to 30%
In short: beauty becomes a tool for ecosystem regeneration.
