LET’S MOVE FORWARD Today, there are more than 85,000 ingredients on the market used in popular products, and 90% of them have never been tested to measure their impact on human health. Big Beauty uses them anyway because they can. In the U.S., no major federal law to protect consumers and regulate personal care products has been passed since 1938. We all deserve better. By developing a purposeful ingredient selection process, Beautycounter is able to screen for more than 1,500 ingredients that could potentially pose threats to human health—and still deliver incredible product performance. We know that safer works. It works in our labs, in our products, and in our customers’ lives. Whether using synthetic, organic, or non-GMO ingredients, our commitment is to the safest choice possible based on the most current data and science—which we review regularly—and to never test our products on animals. We want you to be able to choose the best products based on up-to-date information without having to second guess. None of us are slowing down, but we all deserve to move through life safely. It’s time to move forward. Life moves fast, and so do we—sometimes too fast. We rely on routines and accept what we’re told so we can keep pace. In many areas of our lives, we have put our trust in others to do the thinking for us. It’s time we start thinking for ourselves again and require honest, diligent information so that we can make better decisions about personal care for ourselves and our families. Many of us already do this when it comes to what we put in our bodies. We reject Big Food, like processed foods and junk foods, that can literally make us sick and tired. The same is true for what we put on our bodies. Many of the so-called leaders in personal care, skin care, and cosmetics—Big Beauty—are using questionable or potentially harmful chemicals and ingredients. 4 beautycounter.com Be Your Beautiful.
