Key ‘Free Of’ Terms

Sulfates: petroleum-based products that give lather to ingredients. Can irritate eyes, skin, and lungs. May be contaminated with carcinogens from the manufacturing process. They are tested on animals, and associated with climate change, pollution and greenhouse gases.

Silicone: silicones prevent additional moisture from getting into your skin, creating an effective barrier. However, the materials in silicone can dehydrate your pores and throw your skin's natural regulatory processes off-balance. Can congest pores and interferes with cell renewal.

Parabens: are able to penetrate the skin and remain within tissue. Parabens cause skin irritation, inflammation and can cause rashes/burning sensations on skin. They penetrate deeply within
the skin and disrupt hormone function as they mimic estrogen. Paraben use has been linked to breast cancer and reproductive issues.

Phthalates: are plasticizing chemicals that are considered probable human reproductive, developmental toxins and endocrine disruptors. Phthalates cause reproductive birth defects in
laboratory animals, particularly in males.

Dyes: can cause allergic reactions and certain dyes can clog your pores. A few types of dyes are even carcinogenic. Using products with dyes you can become more prone to blemishes. They are used only to create a more attractive product and we believe they have no place in skin and haircare.

Mineral Oil: petroleum byproduct created from gasoline
production. It can be contaminated with toxins as it must go through
significant purification to remove carcinogens from it. Mineral oil
creates a barrier on the skin and therefore can trap debris and bacteria in the skin. It is not biodegradable, or renewable and offers no benefit to the skin. For the lack of benefit and the sourcing material, we do not use any in our products.
