Clean, for us, means a product that is made without a long (and ever-evolving) list of ingredients linked to harmful health effects, which can range from hormone disruption and cancer to plain old skin irritation. To name a few of the offenders we avoid parabens, phthalates, PEGs, ethanolamines, chemical sunscreens, synthetic fragrance, BHT, and BHA.

Anything going on your skin will eventually end up in your bloodstream.  It is really about your health, you wouldn't eat something toxic, so why would you put it on your skin.

Top 3 ingredients to AVOID and WHY

PARABENS

Estrogen mimicking preservatives that can cause disruption of the endocrine and reproductive systems.  

BENZOPHENONE/OXYBENZONE

This can be found in sunscreens and could promote the growth of potentially harmful free radicals.  

PHTHALATES

They have the ability to mimic human hormones.  They also are endocrine disrupters


with natural plant-based ingredients for healthy skin. Our innovative Slow Herb Complex™
has a blend of botanicals that thrive in dry conditions and are slowly cold-brewed to extract
antioxidants for peak efficacy.

Dark patches, uneven tone, or leftover marks from breakouts that feel like they’ll never go away. There are a few types: 1. Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (like acne scars or bug bites) 2.
