nothing added just to make the ingredient list look longer. nothing included simply because it is trending.

our ingredient philosophy
the ingredient is only the beginning.
good skincare isn't simply a collection of impressive ingredients.
how much is used, how ingredients work together, the way they're processed and how the finished formula feels on skin all matter.
that's why we look beyond the name on the label. every ingredient has a purpose, but it's what they become together that matters most.
what we leave out
nothing there just to be there.
01
unnecessary fillers
we don't add ingredients simply to make a formula look more complex or an ingredient list more impressive.
02
trend-led extras
a trending ingredient isn't enough of a reason to use it. it still has to earn its place in the formula.
03
harshness for effect
we don't believe irritation or an aggressive skin feel should be mistaken for proof that a product is working.
the full formula matters
ingredients don't work alone. formulas do.
individual ingredients can tell part of the story. what ultimately matters is how they work together - how the finished formula performs, feels on skin and fits into everyday life.

nine purposeful ingredients, brought together in the balm that started untaintd.
