Biotechnology helps us replace ingredients that come from nonrenewable resources, are traditionally plagued by exploitative sourcing practices, or are fundamentally detrimental to extract from the environment.

• Our Squalane is created from highly renewable sugarcane that is only watered by natural rainfall. This fermentation-derived innovation replaces the need for shark-derived Squalane and natural resource-intensive olive Squalane!
• Our Mica is 100% lab-made, ensuring ethical sourcing and a reduction in environmental footprint compared to mined Mica.
• Our Vegan Collagen is biodesigned through precision fermentation, so we achieve higher consistency, purity, and quality without sourcing from animals.

• Our boxes are made with paperboard from sustainably managed forests, printed with vegetable-based inks, and use water-based coatings and adhesives for easy recycling.
• Our ultra-lightweight components are intentionally crafted to minimize materials, creating a lighter footprint for the planet and your makeup bag! Despite their featherlight feel, our packaging holds 40% more formula than the average multi-stick — proving that thoughtful design means more product, not more waste.

• All of our formulas are vegan and certified cruelty-free by the Leaping Bunny Program and PETA.
• Our products are multi-taskers to help you reduce the number of products and packaging in your beauty routine.
• We opted for stick-format products to reduce the water content in our formulas, giving you more concentrated, high impact color + actives and resulting in fewer transportation emissions.
