Their formulation approach emphasises the use of multi-use ingredients to minimise waste and transport, alongside minimalist formulations that focus on essential components for skin health. Each ingredient undergoes strict assessments for its natural, vegan and cruelty-free integrity, as well as ethical and sustainable sourcing prior to inclusion in their products.
