Safety - Science - SuSTAINABILITY - Story

Throughout our innovation process, we ask...

IS IT
SAFE?

Has that safety been proven to meet regulatory requirements?

world with plant icon
IS THERE
SCIENCE?

Is there clear, evidence-based research to back product claims and justify inclusion in a formula?

world with plant icon
IS it
SUstainable?

Is the supply chain for an ingredient or product robust, reliable, fairly priced and accessible...and will it remain so? Bonus if it also is good for the planet.

IS THERE A GREAT STORY?

...that will translate to consumer loyalty, sales and repeat purchases?
