We created the No List as a transparent record of the standards we uphold and the promise we make to you. It reflects our commitment to offering products that meet the highest expectations for quality, safety, and integrity.
The No List defines what will never be included in the items we make or carry. It keeps us accountable to our values, guiding every decision we make — from sourcing to formulation to the shelves you shop. If an ingredient, material, or practice doesn’t align with our standards, it doesn’t belong here.
This list isn’t just a policy. It’s our pledge to protect your trust and ensure that every product you choose from us is one you can feel confident bringing into your home.
