Our first priority is wellbeing.
We are not here to campaign against ingredients but there are a number with question marks over their safety. Where these question marks exist we simply choose not to use them.
These are the ingredients we choose to be beautiful without, and why...
Parabens
Potential hormone disruptors which in turn are linked with breast cancer.
Sulphates
Check your bathroom cabinet, these are in virtually everything...they have been linked with cancer scares and are irritating to the skin. We seriously avoid Sulphates as they destroy all the good work our pre and probiotics do.
PEGs
Polyethylene Glycols have been linked to cancer scares and are irritating to the skin.
TEAs and DEAs
Triethanolamine and Diethanolamine, known toxins, irritating to the skin and have been linked with cancer scares.
Propylene Glycols
This ingredient is found in antifreeze and is a chronic irritant, not something we believe should be anywhere near skincare.
Phthalates
Linked with the adverse development of babies and shown to disrupt hormones. These discoveries have resulted in two phthalates being banned in the European Union and also, recently in California. Alarmingly these ingredients used to be found in babies teething aids and toys.
GMOs
Genetically Modified Organisms. This is a new science, the impact of which is still unknown. The fact that the majority of British consumers actively avoid GMO products means our reasoning requires no further explanation.
Mineral Oils and Silicones
These are film forming and prevent the skin from breathing. This can cause bacterial imbalances, breakouts and irritation.
