OUR PRINCIPLES

Vegan

Our products do not contain animal content, you can see this in our "Vegan" symbol on our packaging. We proudly carry our "Vegan" certificate approved by PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals), one of the world's most respected animal rights organizations, and we adopt production processes that are sensitive to all living things.

Cruelty-Free

We do not test on animals and we never ask our suppliers or collaborators to test on animals. We make sure that this ethical approach covers our entire production process.

Non-Comedogenic

We do not include pore-clogging oils and ingredients in our formulations, no matter how “natural” they are. In this way, we prevent acne formations or subcutaneous problems at the “first” stage and hope that you get more benefits with less product.

Skin-Compatible pH

We are aware that a pH level compatible with the skin is vital for the skin. For this reason, we take care not to tire your skin with basic ingredients such as soap or carbonate, and to ensure safe use even on sensitive skin. From time to time, we include slightly acidic formulations to renew the skin and we do not compromise on transparency by including this in our packaging and product description.

No Colorants

Skin health is too priceless to be sacrificed for the long-term risks of colouring ingredients that offer a short-term effect. We believe in the glow that comes from health; therefore, we stay away from all synthetic colourants in order to provide dazzling results in the long term.

No Fragrances

We prioritize the long-term health of all skin types, including sensitive skin; that's why our formulas are free of perfumes and other synthetic fragrances, which are known endocrine disruptors. The scent you smell is directly from the product ingredients.

Reef Safe

Our products are prepared with components that do not harm the marine ecosystem. We contribute to the protection of coral reefs. We are progressing with components that do not harm the marine ecosystem and do not put the lives of marine creatures at risk. Moreover, we are happy to inform you of our sensitivity to components that may accumulate in underground waters and indirectly pollute drinking water below 1%.

Compliance with EWG Criteria

In all our formulas, we stick to ingredients that are rated safe by the long-standing authority EWG (Environmental Working Group) – known for providing consumers with safer options by impartially examining the effects of various chemical substances – with the aim of protecting consumer health and the environment, based on ingredient safety and environmental sustainability.

Why Don't We Include These Components?

Common features of these components;

Risk of Allergy and Irritation

Many ingredients, especially substances such as perfumes and essential oils, can cause allergic reactions or irritation on the skin. For example, substances such as Linalool, Geraniol, Cinnamaldehyde, Eugenol can have an allergenic effect.

Endocrine Disruptive Effects

Substances such as phthalates (DEHP, DBP, BBP) can affect the body's hormonal system and lead to endocrine disruptions.

UV Filters and Sunscreens

Ingredients like Oxybenzone and Octinoxate are commonly used in sunscreens, but some can disrupt hormonal balance in the skin or create environmental effects.

Toxic Effects

Some of these substances can have toxic effects when used on the skin for long periods. Substances such as formaldehyde and benzene may have carcinogenic properties.

Preservatives and Stabilizers

Ingredients such as parabens and phenoxyethanol are used to inhibit microbial growth, but can cause allergic reactions in some individuals.
