The label, explained

In plain words.

Every ingredient on our labels, explained the way you’d explain it to a friend: what it is, why it’s there, and where it comes from.

The Body Oil on cotton paper among its ingredients: a sunflower and its seeds, almonds, jojoba beans, rosehips, pumpkin seeds, cardamom pods, a sprig of rosemary, a piece of galbanum resin and pink pepper.

What we leave out, and why

Some things never make it onto the label.

Miracle
Nothing in a bottle is one. We’d rather tell you what it does, and how long it takes.
Chemical-free
Everything is chemicals, water included. We tell you which ones, and why they’re there.
Promises about colour
Our name is a skin tone. We will never sell you a lighter one, or a darker one.
Hidden percentages
Where a number matters, it’s on the front: 5% urea, 2% vitamin C, 1% ferulic acid.
Mystery fragrance
Each scent is named on the page: cardamom, rosemary, galbanum. The natural allergens they carry are listed on the back, as the law asks.
Edited skin
We never retouch skin lighter or darker in our pictures.

The A to Z

Twenty-nine ingredients, from aloe to zinc.

Everything on the front of our nine labels, plus the scents named on their pages. Each one has its own entry.
