Cosmetics With Purpose
Most makeup is rental. You look good for 8 hours, then take it off. Ours is an investment. Skin- and hair-loving formulas that hydrate, condition, and promote healthier-looking skin and hair the more you use it.
With every purchase, you're not only enhancing the appearance of your natural beauty but also supporting a greater cause. We donate one U.S. dollar from each purchase to the Wolf Conservation Center annually. They are a not-for-profit environmental education organization working to protect and preserve wolves in North America.
Join us in our mission to help make the world a better place, one beautiful face at a time.

Both these ingredients are used as chelating agents in our skincare products. This means they bind with metals that can be present in water and other ingredients, thereby preventing them from spoiling the product or causing any harmful effects on your skin. They also enhance the foaming and cleaning capabilities of our products. It's important to note that these ingredients have been deemed safe for use in cosmetics by authoritative bodies like the Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) Expert Panel.
This ingredient serves as a preservative in our skincare line. It helps to prevent the growth of bacteria and extend the shelf-life of our products, ensuring you receive fresh, effective skincare every time you purchase. Phenoxyethanol is one of the few preservatives that is gentle yet effective and has been declared safe for use in cosmetics up to a concentration of 1% by the European Union and other regulatory authorities.
This ingredient primarily serves as a pH adjuster in our products. It helps to maintain a product's pH level to ensure its stability and improve its performance on your skin. Triethanolamine also acts as an emulsifier, helping water-soluble and oil-soluble ingredients blend together. The CIR Expert Panel has affirmed the safety of this ingredient in cosmetics when used in low concentrations.
This ingredient acts as a humectant in our skincare products, helping to retain moisture in the skin by reducing the evaporation of water. It contributes to our product's ability to keep your skin hydrated and supple. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has classified propylene glycol as generally safe for use in food, which demonstrates its safety profile.
This ingredient serves as a viscosity-controlling and emulsion-stabilizing agent, aiding in the hardening of oil-based products like gloss. It's also used as a replacement for Beeswax. Ceresin is a blend derived from the purification of ozokerite, a natural mineral wax. The Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) Expert Panel has evaluated the safety of ceresin and concluded that it has been deemed safe as a cosmetic ingredient.
This ingredient is utilized for its white coloring attributes and may appear in select products based on the hue. Health concerns arise when it is inhalable in powder format.
