PARABENS

A‌ ‌widely‌ ‌used‌ ‌synthetic‌ ‌preservative‌ ‌in‌ ‌cosmetics‌ ‌and‌ ‌pharmaceutical‌ ‌products,‌ ‌but‌ ‌also‌ ‌just‌ ‌as‌ ‌widely‌ ‌known‌ ‌to‌ ‌be‌ ‌controversial‌ due to their link to‌ ‌breast‌ ‌cancer.‌ ‌Many skins may find products containing parabens are ‌ easily-irritating and can cause sensitivity. 

SULPHATES (SLS & SLES)

Functions primarily as a surfactant, but can also be used as a skin-conditioning agent, emulsifier, and solvent. Sodium lauryl sulphate (SLS) is one of the most sensitising cleansing agents used in skincare products.

PETROLEUM & MINERAL OILS

Petroleum‌ ‌derivatives‌ ‌only‌ ‌coat‌ ‌the‌ ‌skin‌ ‌and‌ ‌do‌ ‌nothing‌ ‌to‌ ‌actually nourish‌ ‌it.‌ ‌They‌ ‌can‌ ‌stop‌ ‌your‌ ‌skin‌ ‌from‌ ‌breathing,‌ ‌absorbing‌ ‌and‌ ‌excreting,‌ ‌which‌ ‌isn’t‌ ‌what‌ ‌we‌ ‌want‌ ‌our‌ ‌products‌ ‌to‌ ‌do.‌ ‌

DEA

Diethanolamine‌ (DEA) ‌is‌ ‌foaming‌ or wetting ‌agent‌ ‌used‌ ‌in‌ ‌cleansing‌ ‌products‌.‌ 

‌‌We use fatty‌ ‌acids‌ ‌as‌ ‌the‌ ‌safest‌ ‌alternative.‌ ‌

SYNTHETIC COLOURS & FRAGRANCES 

Although colours and fragrances may make your products look and smell nice, they are added into the product purely for aesthetics. We do not use synthetic colours or fragrances in any of our products as they can cause sensitivity and irritation. They have absolutely no benefits for your skin ‌ therefore we do not put these into our products. 

FORMALDEHYDE

A‌ ‌bi-product‌ ‌of‌ ‌preserving‌ ‌agents‌ ‌and‌ ‌known‌ ‌to‌ ‌cause‌ ‌irritation‌ ‌and‌ ‌sensitivity.

PHTHALATES

Controversial‌ ‌chemical-based‌ ‌ solvents ‌used ‌to ‌extend ‌the ‌scent ‌of ‌a ‌synthetic ‌fragrance. No‌ ‌synthetic‌ ‌fragrance‌ ‌means‌ ‌no‌ ‌DEP‌ ‌in‌ ‌our‌ ‌products.‌ ‌

ANIMAL DERIVATIES

All products we formulate are ‌vegan‌ ‌friendly‌ ‌and‌ ‌cruelty-free.
