The working glossary.
The supporting actives in our water-based formulas — each one named, each one earning its place.
And the rest — honestly.
Sulfate-free cleansing system
Our cleansers foam with sarcosinate, isethionate and betaine surfactants — soft foam that doesn't strip. No SLS, no SLES, ever.
Freshness & stability
Water-based formulas need protection to stay safe — we use food-grade preservation, and our dry powders need none at all.
Texture, from plants
Fatty alcohols (cetearyl, cetyl) give creams their silkiness — plant-derived and nothing like drying alcohols.
Read any label. Then read ours.
