With over a century of reliability, quality, and efficacy
We are committed to launching safe and effective products across more than 50 global markets, and we take pride in our 135‑year legacy of product safety. Our customers can trust that our beauty and personal care products fully comply with all regulations set by government bodies overseeing ingredient safety and product hygiene. We uphold universal quality and safety standards worldwide.
We acknowledge claims that certain cosmetic ingredients may be harmful, that trace amounts may reach unsafe levels, and that some allegations can sound alarmist. Rumors about an ingredient’s safety can spread quickly and cause unnecessary concern. It’s all too easy for a person or group to misunderstand or misinterpret a piece of information.
Only ingredients that are safe for consumer use appear in our products. Each ingredient undergoes thorough and formal evaluation, and every product completes its safety assessment before launch. Our multidisciplinary scientific team—comprising expert toxicologists, microbiologists, and chemists—oversees this rigorous process.
Equally important, our scientists continuously assess any new information regarding the safe use of our ingredients. If an ingredient is scientifically shown to be unsafe or is legally banned, our company discontinues its use.
Over the years, external scientific and government authorities such as the World Health Organization (WHO), the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (US FDA), the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA), Health Canada, the European Commission, and the Cosmetic Ingredient Review have issued statements or opinions on ingredient safety. Studies supporting ingredient safety have appeared in peer-reviewed journals such as Critical Reviews in Toxicology, The Journal of Applied Toxicology, and Toxicology and Applied Pharmacology.
Consumers can be confident that any product bearing our name has passed a comprehensive safety assessment and is exceptionally safe to use.
