When we created our product line in 2007, we made a conscious decision to not use any animal-derived ingredients in our formulas. We wanted our products to be effective, luxurious, and cruelty-free. All of our products are 100% Vegan-friendly and contain no animal ingredients or animal-derived ingredients.
Being animal-free means NEVER using:
- beeswax (often found in lip balms and mascaras)
- milk (found in soaps)
- collagen (skin strengthener derived from cows)
- carmine (a colorant from beetle shells)
- bone char (used in processing sugar to make it white)
Instead, we use these cruelty-free ingredients:
- candelilla wax (made from plants) in our Cocoa/Lime Hemp Lip Balms
- natural organic coconut oil and other non-animal-derived oils for moisturizing
- iron oxides, chromium oxides, and ultramarines for colorant in our Whipped Sugar Scrubs
- natural unrefined cane sugar in our Whipped Sugar Scrubs
