Clean Beauty

Clean beauty offers a healthier alternative for your skin and well-being. It also minimizes your exposure to potentially harmful chemicals and supports sustainable practices.
Our Products
We carefully vet each brand and product to ensure they meet our strict criteria for cleanliness, sustainability, and efficacy. This includes examining ingredients, manufacturing processes, and ethical sourcing practices.
Yes, all of our products are cruelty-free. We do not support any form of animal testing.
While many of our products are vegan, not all fall under this category. We strive to clearly label each product with its specific certifications.
Many of our products are formulated with gentle, natural ingredients that are suitable for sensitive skin. However, we recommend reviewing the ingredient list and conducting a patch test before trying new products, especially if you have known sensitivities.
While China is a major player in the beauty industry, we prioritize sourcing from US-based companies and manufacturers whenever possible. This reduces the environmental impact associated with long-distance transportation and supports the local economy. Additionally,it allows for greater transparency in our supply chain, ensuring our products meet our strict sustainability and ethical sourcing standards.
Since we carry a wide variety of products from many different manufacturers, there can sometimes be variations in packaging design from what's shown on our website. Here are a few reasons why:
- Manufacturer updates: Companies may update their packaging from time to time. We do our best to keep our website photos current, but there may be a slight delay between a packaging change and the update on our site.
- Regional variations: Some manufacturers produce different packaging for different regions. The photos on our website may not reflect the specific packaging available in your area.
- Limited edition packaging: Manufacturers may offer limited edition packaging for certain products. The website photos may show the standard packaging, while you receive the special edition (which is still the same great product!).
