Our Formulating Philosophy is:
"be the change. formulate with care."
We formulate with natural, plant-based, and naturally derived ingredients guided by green chemistry principles. Our formulas are 100% vegan, cruelty-free, and designed with care for people, animals, and the planet.
Whenever possible, we choose renewable, biodegradable, sustainably sourced ingredients and preservative systems accepted by recognized natural and organic cosmetic standards, such as ECOCERT and COSMOS.
When a natural ingredient is not yet available, not functional enough, or not accessible in small purchase amounts, we choose the most responsible alternative available.
