Common hormone-disrupting ingredients in skincare
Did you know that “fragrance” or “parfum” on a cosmetic label represents a complex mixture of dozens of chemicals? Since companies aren’t required by law to tell us which chemicals make up their fragrance, we can’t know what we’re being exposed to. EDCs like phthalates can be hidden in fragrance for their effectiveness at holding the scent in a product.
That’s why you’ll never see “fragrance” or “parfum” in any of our products.

Why Go EDC-Free?
The answer is simple. Your hormones control every biological process in your body. Endocrine disruptors interfere with that and make you feel "off".
We removed them from your personal care so you can be confident that the products you're putting on your skin aren't messing with your hormones.
We're creating a hormone healthy future
Unlike other cosmetic ingredients, endocrine disrupting ingredients don’t follow the assumption that “the dose makes the poison”, which the entire cosmetics industry is regulated on.
Other countries are addressing this, but US cosmetic regulations have been largely unchanged since 1938. To this day, the US bans only 11 ingredients, while the EU has banned over 1,600.
We believe that all endocrine disrupting chemicals are unnecessary in your personal care products. So we took them out.
