Redefining "Clean" Skincare
Our experts set out on a mission to create a natural and organic alternative that gives you incredible performance yet is free of suspect ingredients.
We succeeded in redefining the term "clean skincare" to give you products that live up to their labels.
Our uncompromising skincare has stayed true, giving you complete transparency, high performance and incredible value.
We know what to put in and what to leave out. Every product is made by us in our laboratory on the Essex coast in England. Each batch is handcrafted to perfection using our philosophy of: is it essential? Is it effective?
Combining with our unique award-winning "Quanta® Technology" to deliver incredible products that perform for every life stage.
In 2014 our Organic range became Soil Association Organic Beauty Certified. Started in 2002, The Soil Association Organic Beauty and Wellbeing mark, also known as COSMOS Organic & Natural, brought together like-minded ambassadors who wanted to create alternative skincare free of questionable ingredients.
By working closely with The Soil Association, the Vegan Society and Leaping Bunny Cruelty Free we can validate each ingredient thoroughly checking its provenance to ensure 100% clarity and validation in our creations.
We are proud to be leaders in innovation; in fact our very earliest cleansers used Hyaluronic Acid and Kombucha before the industry began to buzz about them. Our passion is in creating formulas that are pure and perform. Without compromising on questionable ingredeints in fact so questionable we created our "Banned By Us" which you can view below.
No Acrylates Copolymer
Is a microplastic that is used to thicken the water. It is classified as inert (non-damaging) for your skin, however, there are major concerns around its onward footprint when washed down the drain and its ability to remain in the body.
No Animal-derived ingredients
As a proud Vegan Society Member and Leaping Bunny Cruelty-Free Registered Brand, we are committed to giving you 100% confidence that what you buy is a cruelty-free product without hiding behind fluffy logos that do not substantiate our claims.
We work hard to formulate and seek new innovations through our own laboratory, free from animal derivatives such as sheep lanolin, animal hyaluronic acid, animal collagen, beeswax and animal bulking agents.
In accordance with EU and British Regulations, our products are not tested on animals, and we do not sell our products in the People’s Republic Of China.
No Carbomers
These are synthetic ingredients that companies use to suspend ingredients, bind them and thicken products as well as combine high-water ingredients.
No Dimethicone
From the family of silicone which, if not removed correctly, can seal block pores and can contribute to acne, blackheads and trapped dirt. The industry is divided on this one as it is a texture enhancer. Our in-house testing found it a key contributor to creating black heads and very difficult to remove, contributing to blocked pores.
No EDTA
It is used to stabilise synthetic ingredient that pushes other ingredients deeper to give more effect. also known as Disodium which causes long-term issues in the skin. And is highly pollutive in the environment and when washed down the sink to aquatic life.
No Liquid Petroleum
At first, these ingredients can give the impression they are soothing the skin when they are just covering it. However, as time passes, the skin begins to dry out, requiring you to apply more, so the cycle starts. The skin becomes drier, and so on. It can become flaky and worse than the initial condition when you stop using it. In some cases when you read the ingredients on the back of these products, it says "not for long-term use" I wonder how long that is defined as?
No Nanomaterials
Are microscopic particles that penetrate the skin, and, at present, the science community are not certain of the effect they can have on the body. Adding the word nano means that the ingredient measures
less than 100m.
No Nylon
Is used to make products feel nice and give slip and slide. They are inert and, at present, are not known to cause issues to the skin; however, they pollute rivers and are forms of liquid plastic that, when washed down the sink, run free as microparticles pollute our
environment and the life that lives there.
Clean + Cinical Restorative Skin Health Backed By Science
No Parabens
Are preservatives echo in terms of issues in endocrine and cancers that are still not fully measured? Therefore, we choose not to use these in our formulas.
No Phenoxyethanol
Is a preservative which is also not allowed under the soil association or COSMOS. It is found in a cross-range of skincare products and has been highlighted by several watchdog organisations as causing severe skin sensitivity, dryness, acne and contact dermatitis. In addition, it is absorbed by the skin and is highlighted as a skin irritant with suspected neurotoxic deficiencies. It is used by companies as it can be added at high temperatures, which keeps the cost of production down as opposed to SKIN-RG's preservative, which has to be added when cool, which takes longer but creates a gentler product that is safe for use even around the eyes.
No Sulphates
Come in different disguises and are foaming agents that irritate the skin.
No Silicones
Are used to make products feel nice and give slip and slide. They are inert and are not known to cause issues to the skin; however, they pollute rivers and are forms of liquid plastic that, when washed down the sink, run free as microparticles polluting our environment and the life that lives there.
