We believe a true skin transformation is possible with the right knowledge. That's why we've compiled a list of our favorite skincare databases and resources to help you become a smart, informed consumer.
Our products are a reflection of this philosophy. Our hydrating body creams are EWG Verified®, which was one of our first introductions to a database that gave us valuable information and helped us craft our formulas. You can also visit our blog for more valuable information.
