Note: this is not an exhaustive list. We always try to avoid any ingredients found in research to be toxic or potentially dangerous to the human body or environment.

Ingredients we have reduced or eliminated to be more natural for consumers:

Phenoxyethanol preservative (only in our Lash and Brow Serum)

Retinyl palmitate (retinol)- Use during the day as many increase sun sensitivity, which we want to avoid for our customers
