Safety is our first ingredient. We know you want to know as much as you can about our products and their ingredients. That’s why we’re continuing to provide transparency around our ingredient innovation and safety science.
Ingredient choices and how we make them
Some people believe natural product ingredients are safer to use than man-made, synthetic ones. The reality is that it’s not that simple; both natural and synthetic ingredients have a safe range and an unsafe range. Even basics like sunlight, oxygen, and water have safety limits. So what goes into choosing our product ingredients?
