What We Avoid & Why Drying Alcohols: Your skin deserves to feel nourished, not stripped and flaky. We steer clear of harsh, drying alcohols that can disrupt your skin's natural barrier, leading to irritation and dehydration. Silicones: We're not interested in superficial fixes. While silicones might provide a temporary smooth feel, they can suffocate your skin, trap dirt and grime, and offer no true benefit to your skin's long-term health. Our formulations focus on ingredients that genuinely support and improve your skin's well-being. Parabens: Your health is paramount. Parabens are known endocrine (hormone) disruptors, and we simply don't compromise when it comes to your body's delicate balance. Petroleum: We believe in breathable, beneficial ingredients. Petroleum can clog pores and create a greasy film, offering a deceptive facade of moisture without providing real nourishment or allowing your skin to breathe. Animal Products or Byproducts (Cruelty-Free): Our commitment extends beyond your skin; it encompasses ethical practices. We proudly stand for ethical grooming, meaning our products are entirely free from animal-derived ingredients and are never tested on animals. Synthetic Fragrances: We believe in purity, not mystery chemicals. Fake scents are a common culprit for skin irritation and allergic reactions. We exclusively use natural, essential oil-based fragrances or remain fragrance-free to minimize the risk of sensitivity. Single-Use Plastics (where possible): We're grounded in our values, and so is our packaging. By minimizing single-use plastics, we strive to reduce our environmental footprint and contribute to a healthier planet. Over 200 Harmful & Commonly Used Cosmetic Ingredients: We go above and beyond to ensure our products meet the highest clean beauty standards. We adhere to (and often exceed) the stringent clean beauty guidelines set by Sephora, Ulta, and Whole Foods, meticulously avoiding a comprehensive list of harmful substances. This includes, but is not limited to, ingredients like: Formaldehyde & Formaldehyde Releasers (e.g., DMDM Hydantoin, Diazolidinyl Urea, Imidazolidinyl Urea, Quaternium-15, Hydroxymethylglycinate) Phthalates (e.g., Dibutyl phthalate, Diethylhexyl phthalate) Sulfates (e.g., Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Sodium Lauryl Sulfate) Coal Tar Hydroquinone Triclosan & Triclocarban BHA & BHT PEGs (certain types and concentrations) Lead Acetate Mercury Microbeads Resorcinol Toluene Ethanolamines (MEA, DEA, TEA) Our dedication to these rigorous standards means you can trust that every product you use from us is thoughtfully formulated for your safety and peace of mind.
