transparency
WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE GREEN?
Sadly, the term green has been co-opted, borrowed and mis-represented by many. The trend toward sustainable products and production methods in general is a wonderful thing but beware of imposters.
NOTHING TO HIDE
Consumers demand and deserve transparency - and for good reason. We are proud to share every single ingredient and its purpose for being in our formulas with you. Whether it is purely functional or an active performance ingredient, you should know it and be able to understand it.
If you ever have a question or a concern about any of our ingredients, we expect to hear from you.
CLEAN BY DESIGN
100% natural, NON-TOXIC and cruelty-free ingredients and vegan. We also use cold-process technology for the majority of our products to reduce our energy consumption while simultaneously preserving our precious, active ingredients.
We will never make compromises on either the quality of our products or the way they are produced.
INBAR+co products use NO UNNECESSARY FILLERS. Even our functional ingredients (preservatives, emulsifiers, carrier oils etc.) are made from clean, natural non-toxic and sustainable sources and are often active as well as functional.
We use the EWG’s database as our guide and no ingredients above a rating of 3 will ever be included in formulation.
Wherever possible we have reduced the water content in our formulations.
We choose our ingredients with the 12 Commandments of Green Chemistry as our filter.
Green Chemistry is the utilization of a set of principles that reduces or eliminates the use or generation of hazardous substances in the design, manufacturing and application of chemical products.
In green chemistry, the boundaries between different disciplines are blurred. The organic chemist does not create something and then leave the mess to the environmental chemist to clean up. The impact of the material and the process on the environment, humans and resources is considered even before the design process begins.
