We do not believe that CLEAN products are a must or the answer to every skin care problem. But we want to provide a quick guide for those who want to avoid certain ingredients.

Our Clean Beauty concept is primarily defined by the ingredients you won't find in the products with the CLEAN icon:

BHA (butylated hydroxyanisole), BHT (butylated hydroxytoluene), chemical sunscreens, EDTA, ethanolamines, ethoxylated ingredients (Ceteareth-20, emulsifying wax, PEGS, polysorbate-20, polysorbate-40, steareth-20, sulfates), formaldehyde, methylchloroisothiazolinone and methylisothiazolinone, methylcellulose or 2-methoxyethanol, nitro- and polycyclic musk, parabens, petrolatum and paraffin, phthalates, resorcinol, silicones, animal by-products (with the exception of lanolin and beeswax), toluene, triclosan and triclocarban.

With this icon you can see at a glance which products meet the standard of our CLEAN Guide.
