WE DON’TFOLLOW TRENDS,

PSA PRECHECK™
Clarity is important, and we’re not just talking about clear skin. We’re all about transparency, inside and out, and your glow goals can only be as good as the ingredients you use to achieve them. Clean beauty is important to us—by which we mean, no harmful or potentially irritating additives in any of our formulas. That’s why you won’t find any of these common triggers and irritants in our products:
Often found in anti-frizz hair products and makeup primers, these texture tools possess too large of molecules to penetrate your skin’s barrier so they just sit on top of your skin, potentially trapping dirt, sebum, and makeup, which can lead to clogged pores and breakouts.
Used often as cleaning agents, sulfates get the job a little too well. They’re pretty harsh and drying, actually stripping your skin of moisture and weakening its barrier, which ultimately can lead to sensitization.
This synthetic is too large to penetrate the skin, so it acts as an occlusive (think plastic wrap) on your pores. If you have oily or acne-prone skin, mineral oil may trap excess sebum, leading to breakouts.
Sun protection is a must every day, but using certain chemical screens can undermine your efforts—studies have shown that they can cause allergic and adverse reactions. Plus. some have the potential to penetrate your skin barrier, causing even more trouble below.
These sensorial ingredients may be nice for some but are actually really aggravating, especially for sensitive skin types. What’s the point of smelling like roses if they give you a rash to match?

These are lovely in aromatherapy but for skincare, they’re pretty high on the level of skin sensitizers. Scents can be a nice experience but not if they cause an allergic reaction for some, so we just decided to omit them altogether.
Essential Oils
There’s a reason it’s called a routine—you can’t get a whole new face overnight,
SORRY. You gotta keep at it.
Your skincare journey is personal to you and we’re with you for the ups and the downs. Sometimes things may get worse before they get better. Luckily, we did the heavy lifting for you, making sure that our products could keep up with your lifestyle so you don’t have to slow down for skincare if you don’t want to.
