Not exactly. “Clean” is often defined by exclusion lists. Responsible Chemistry is defined by a framework: green-chemistry principles, microbiome respect, no petrochemical derivatives, and a clear performance standard.

Science-led formulation using green-chemistry principles, no petrochemical derivatives or microplastics, and architecture that respects barrier function and the microbiome.

Gentle, yes—but also active. We design for tolerance and results at the same time, rather than trading one for the other.

It means you’re investing in skin longevity—supporting the systems that keep your skin resilient now, so you’re not trying to repair preventable damage later.

Responsible Chemistry is our first pillar for a reason.

It’s the quiet logic under every formula: how we protect your barrier, your microbiome, and your future skin, while still delivering the kind of visible results that make you want to repeat the ritual again tomorrow.

By default, yes. We use aluminum tubes and bottles with aluminum caps, FSC paper, and paper-only shipping. Sprays are an optional, reusable accessory for essence and eau de cologne; each adds $5 donated 100% to WWF, with transparent reporting.

Because format matters. Many clients told us they loved the formulas but needed the precision and convenience of a spray to realistically use them daily. We didn’t want to silently slip into plastic use, so we built a transparent compromise: sprays are not included by default, they are opt-in and reusable, and the entire $5 accessory fee is donated 100% to WWF.

By default, yes. Our primary packaging is aluminum tubes and aluminum bottles with aluminum caps, our secondary packaging is FSC-certified paper, and our shipping is paper-based only. The only exception is optional, reusable spray nozzles for the essence and eau de cologne.

We publish donation totals on our Donations Transparency page so the exception stays visible and accountable.

Our spa-born, practice-based, quasi-clinical approach. Formulas are tested in real treatments, with practitioner-logged observations and small-batch iteration. It’s not a substitute for formal clinical trials.

Aluminum is lighter, more resilient for spa work and travel, and highly recyclable. The lighter weight also means it has a lower carbon footprint in transportation, from manufacturer to us, to you. It allows us to create a materially consistent, low-friction recycling path that aligns with our operational reality as a spa-born brand. And aluminum makes the tubes air-tight and contamination-free.

Our ingredient lens: sometimes the most responsible choice is a nature-identical or responsibly engineered material produced under green chemistry, rather than a raw extract. It must still align with our no-petro and no-microplastic policy.

No. Our Living Formulation System is practice-based, quasi-clinical observation in spa settings. It’s structured, logged, and taken seriously, but it is not a formal clinical trial.

It means the product you’re using has already been through real-world testing on a variety of skin types and lived conditions—and it will continue to evolve if we find a better way to serve your skin.

Yes, occasionally—and always for a reason. If we update a formula, it’s because our ongoing observations and data suggest it will improve tolerance, performance, or skin longevity.

We don’t reformulate for trends; we reformulate for results. Changes are driven by how skin responds in practice, not by ingredient fads.

Not yet. We currently operate on 100% renewable electricity across spa and production, and we’re working on measuring our full emissions baseline. We will only claim carbon neutrality once we have measured, reduced what we can, and used credible offsets where needed.

Because “natural” isn’t always the most sustainable or skin-friendly choice. Beyond Nature means we choose ingredients based on impact and compatibility, not just on how they sound. That includes nature-identical or responsibly engineered materials when they’re better for both skin and planet—while still staying free from petrochemical derivatives and microplastics.

Planet-Positive underpins our Material Integrity decisions: aluminum primaries, FSC paper, paper-only shipping, and plastic-free systems by default. The only exception—optional spray nozzles for essence and eau de cologne—is transparent and tied to a $5 donation to WWF.

Reuse optional sprays, recycle aluminum tubes and bottles, flatten and recycle paper packaging, and choose routines you’ll actually stick with—because half-used products are their own kind of waste.
