Our Clean Beauty Standard

At Skincare Happy, we believe skincare is more than a routine—
it’s a form of self-connection and self-respect.
That’s why we’re committed to helping people build beauty brands rooted in integrity, transparency, and care—for your skin, your health, and the Earth.

Why Clean Beauty Matters

The skincare industry is filled with shortcuts and under-regulated ingredients. While the European Union bans over 1,600 harmful substances in cosmetics, the U.S. restricts fewer than 20. That gap matters—because what you put on your skin every day shouldn’t put your long-term health at risk.

Clean beauty means responsibility.
It’s about choosing better ingredients—not just effective ones, but safe ones. No gimmicks. No compromises. No hidden agendas.

We never use cheap fillers, harsh synthetics, or vague “proprietary blends.”
We list every ingredient. We ban what’s questionable.
And we put your well-being first.

What We Stand For

At Skincare Happy, our commitment to clean beauty is more than just a label—it’s a philosophy that guides every product we create. From formulation to final packaging, every choice we make is rooted in our responsibility to you, your skin, and the planet we all share.

Here’s what we stand for—and what you can always expect from us:

🐰 100% Cruelty-Free

We believe that beauty should never come at the cost of harm to animals. Every product we offer is developed, tested, and manufactured without any form of animal testing. We partner only with cruelty-free suppliers and manufacturers—no exceptions.

🌱 Vegan Formulations

All of our products are free from animal-derived ingredients, with the exception of ethically sourced beeswax in select formulations. When beeswax is used, we ensure its production supports sustainable, humane beekeeping practices and prioritizes the health of bee populations.

🌍 Eco-Conscious Production

Clean beauty goes beyond what’s in the jar. We are committed to environmentally responsible practices at every stage of production—from sourcing raw materials to choosing low-impact packaging and reducing energy consumption. Our goal is to minimize harm and maximize sustainability.

🌿 Sustainable Sourcing

We use natural ingredients mindfully, ensuring they’re grown, harvested, and processed in a way that preserves natural ecosystems and supports long-term environmental health. We support fair-trade and small-scale suppliers whenever possible.

🐝 Biodiversity Protection

Every decision we make—from ingredient selection to packaging design—is guided by the principle of protecting biodiversity. That means saying no to practices that deplete resources or harm vulnerable ecosystems, and yes to those that support balance and regeneration.

🔬 No Carcinogens

We have zero tolerance for ingredients linked to cancer. We meticulously vet all formulations based on current toxicological research and regulatory guidelines around the world—not just what’s required by U.S. law.

⚠️ No Parabens

We don’t use parabens. These hormone-disrupting preservatives have been linked to reproductive and developmental harm, and we believe your skincare should be completely free of that risk.

🚫 No Phthalates

Though still permitted in the U.S., phthalates are banned in the EU due to their status as endocrine disruptors. We never use them in our products—especially in fragrances, where they often hide.

💧 No SLS Sulfates

Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS) is a common foaming agent—but it can strip your skin’s natural oils and damage its protective barrier. We use gentler, non-irritating cleansers that clean effectively without compromising your skin’s health.

🛑 No Benzene or Derivatives

Benzene is a known carcinogen and contaminant that has no place in skincare. We prohibit its use, including indirect contamination via raw materials or packaging.

🧴 No Silicones & Siloxanes

Though often used to create a smooth texture, silicones and siloxanes can accumulate in the body and environment, disrupting hormonal systems and aquatic life. We’ve eliminated them completely from our formulations.

🧪 No Toxic Preservatives

Some preservatives—like formaldehyde, BHA, and others—are still used widely despite being linked to allergic reactions, irritation, and long-term health concerns. We’ve chosen safer, non-toxic alternatives that keep your skincare fresh without the risk.

🎨 No Toxic Pigments

We refuse to use synthetic dyes and pigments such as coal tar, carbon black, or talc, which may be contaminated with heavy metals or linked to cancer and skin sensitivity. Our colorants come from natural, non-toxic sources only.

🌸 No Toxic Fragrances

We believe in full fragrance transparency. If a product contains scent, it’s free from phthalates, synthetic musks, and other harmful chemicals. We use either 100% natural essential oils or safe synthetic blends that meet clean beauty standards.

Ingredients We Absolutely Avoid

We maintain a strict No List backed by science and international best practices. Here's what you’ll never find in our formulas:

• Benzene & Derivatives – Toxic and often contaminated; banned.

• Carcinogens – Any ingredient linked to cancer is strictly off-limits.

• Parabens – Known hormone disruptors with potential reproductive risks.

• Phthalates – Banned in the EU, still legal in the US—we don’t use them.

• Formaldehyde & BHA – Preservatives linked to irritation, allergies, and long-term risks.

• Silicones & Siloxanes – Harmful to the environment and your body.

• SLS Sulfates – Harsh surfactants that strip skin of its natural barrier.

• Synthetic Dyes & Pigments – Includes coal tar, carbon black, and talc—all linked to toxicity or heavy metal contamination.

• Toxic Fragrances – If we use fragrance, it's always phthalate-free and non-synthetic.

A Clean Promise, Without Compromise

We created Skincare Happy with one promise: to never compromise on health, safety, or sustainability. That’s why every product you find here is aligned with our Clean Beauty Standard—thoroughly vetted, science-backed, and made with love and care.

You deserve skincare that honors your body and the world around you.
That’s what we stand for. Always.
