Ingredients We Never Use: Research Summary and Sources | Digital Download
Description
The four main ingredients widely used in natural skincare that we refuse to formulate with are bakuchiol, high PUFA seed oils, hyaluronic acid, and essential oils. Although each is often marketed as gentle or plant based, the research tells a different story. Bakuchiol can be unstable and irritating, high PUFA seed oils oxidize easily on the skin, hyaluronic acid can disrupt moisture balance, and essential oils are a common source of sensitization. Our standards focus on barrier integrity and long term skin health, so these ingredients don’t qualify. The digital guide provides the studies behind each decision, giving you a clear look at the evidence. This is the new culture of clean beauty, built on transparency, research, and ingredients that truly support the skin.
