Discover how Touched by an Angel Beauty School in Stockbridge trains estheticians to master eco-friendly skin care, perfect for Atlanta’s eco-conscious beauty lovers.
In Atlanta, where vibrant city life meets a growing passion for sustainability, eco-friendly skin care is more than a trend—it’s a movement. From Midtown’s bustling spas to Buckhead’s luxury salons, clients are demanding clean beauty products that are kind to their skin and the planet. At Touched by an Angel Beauty School in Stockbridge, just 20 miles from downtown Atlanta, our esthetics program is training the next generation of estheticians to lead this green revolution. In this post, we’ll explore why clean beauty matters in Atlanta, how our students master eco-friendly skin care techniques, and how you can glow sustainably in Georgia’s capital.
Why Clean Beauty is Booming in Atlanta
Atlanta’s beauty scene is thriving, with the city’s $40 billion salon industry fueling demand for innovative skin care. But as urban pollution and Georgia’s humid climate challenge our skin, more Atlantans are turning to clean beauty—products free of harmful chemicals like parabens, sulfates, and synthetic fragrances. According to a 2024 survey, 65% of Georgia spa-goers prefer eco-friendly treatments, and local brands like Herbivore, born in nearby Athens, are gaining traction.
Clean beauty isn’t just about products; it’s about sustainability. Atlanta’s eco-conscious residents, from Decatur’s green markets to Virginia-Highland’s zero-waste shops, want estheticians who prioritize non-toxic ingredients and ethical practices. At Touched by an Angel, our 1500-hour esthetics program equips students to meet this demand, blending science, sustainability, and hands-on training.
What is Eco-Friendly Skin Care?
Eco-friendly skin care focuses on:
Non-Toxic Ingredients: Natural, plant-based products like aloe vera, chamomile, or sustainably sourced oils are used.
Sustainable Practices: Minimizing waste through recyclable packaging and cruelty-free testing.
Holistic Wellness: Addressing skin health while supporting environmental and emotional well-being.
In Atlanta’s humid, pollen-heavy climate, clean beauty is ideal for sensitive skin prone to irritation. Treatments like organic facials, botanical masks, and LED light therapy—taught in our Stockbridge classrooms—deliver results without harsh chemicals.

Located in Stockbridge, Touched by an Angel Beauty School is Atlanta’s go-to for esthetician training that embraces clean beauty. Our hybrid program (1250 hours in-person, 250 hours online via CIMA by Milady) teaches students to:

Under the mentorship of Patricia Thompson, a Stockbridge icon who built 13 salons from humble beginnings, our students learn to combine clean beauty with business savvy. “Sustainability is the future of esthetics,” says Thompson. “Our students are ready to transform Atlanta’s spas with eco-friendly expertise.”
