Cruelty-free and full of scientifically-proven actives and plant-based extracts
What's our criteria?
For us, clean skincare isn’t all-natural skincare. Products require well-researched synthetic actives like Vitamin C, Hyaluronic Acid, Niacinamide, and most importantly SPF, to be effective. There is, however, a long list of synthetic ingredients used in skincare that can cause harm. With that in mind, we make sure the following ingredients aren’t found in our platform:
- Artificial Color
- Artificial Fragrance
- Sulfates
- Coal Tar1,4-dioxane
- Hydroquinone
- Mercury
- Mineral Oils
- Triclosan
- Parabens*
- Triethanolamine*
- Essential Oils*
The Process
#1 Find the Brand
Surprisingly, good skincare is hard to find. The most popular ones aren’t well-formulated and are often overpriced. We go to conventions around the world and research online for hidden gems.
#2 Formulation Evaluation
• Are the formulations effective or are they mainly fillers (ex. PEG Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Glycols) and lack extracts and actives?
• Are the extracts on the top of the ingredients list (which indicate they have a high concentration)?
• Does the formula match the claims of the product?
#3 Price Matching
Is the price worth the formulation and the size of the product? Is it overpriced?
#4 Packaging
Is it packaged responsibly and sustainably? Is it safe for the type of product (ex. Vitamin C cannot be exposed to light / oxygen, so a pump is a good choice)? Is it aesthetically pleasing?
#5 Testing
Our team will test the products over a period of time. We’ll check it across different skin concerns and types to see if it does what it claims to do.
#6 Accept / Reject
