KNOW THE NO'S

There has been a major shift in the beauty industry to create ‘clean’ and ‘non-toxic’ beauty products. While some of the more well-known beauty brands have a hard time shifting their formulas to being completely clean, smaller brands are able to. 

We have become so much more educated on these ingredients and their affects on our bodies. Here are just a few ingredients that are still allowed to be used in the US, but never allowed in our products:

DISODIUM EDTA

• Increases absorption of harmful chemicals into the skin
• Disrupts surface skin cells

FORMALHYDE

• Known carcinogen
• Linked to respiratory problems

HYDROQUINONE

• Possible Carcinogen

PARABENS

• possible hormone disruptor
• possible carcinogen

PHTHALATES

• could cause potential hormonal health issues

TRICLOSAN

• Known carcinogen
• possible hormone disruptor

SELENIUM SULFIDE

• linked to possible tumor growth

QUATERNIUM-15

• possible carcinogen

Our products are made according to our own, original recipes perfected from years of alchemy.  Every batch gets made in small, quality controlled quantities. They are blended, assembled, and poured by hand.  

This may create variations in the appearance between each product. The product you receive will not be an exact match to the image shown.
