Cosmetic Ingredients Glossary

Ready for a deep dive into the mysterious world of cosmetic ingredients? Our quick reference guide will help you decipher exactly what you're putting on your skin, and why.

We only use vegan, cruelty-free, natural ingredients (even the ones that don't sound it, like glyceryl stearate) that are approved for use in COSMOS, NATRUE or EcoCert products. This glossary will tell you what we use, why we use it and what it does.

If there's an ingredient you'd like to know about and you don't see it on the list, ask us!
