Sustainability

At SKINICIAN we care about the planet and are doing our best to help make the beauty world more eco-friendly. We're about progress not perfection, so while our brand may not tick every eco box (yet), what counts is that we are genuinely striving to do better and be more sustainable where possible.

This is how we're getting there:

Vegan & Cruelty Free

We are proud to say that every product in the SKINICIAN range is vegan. PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) also recognises us as a cruelty-free brand. We never have and never will test any of our products on animals.

Naturally Derived Ingredients

On average our products are formulated with on average 90% naturally derived ingredients. The remaining ingredients are clinically proven actives backed by science so that each product delivers real and visible results.

UK Manufactured

Our product formulations are manufactured locally in the UK to reduce our carbon footprint. Our UK manufacturer has accreditations such as BRCGS (Brand Reputation Compliance Global Standards), SEDEX (Supplier Ethical Data Exchange) and RSPO (Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil) and like SKINICIAN, are continually striving to be as sustainable as possible through methods such as solar panel installation and water consumption reduction.

Paraben, Mineral Oil & Palm Oil Free

Parabens are a widely used preservative that prolongs the shelf life of skincare.

Mineral oil is a derivative of petroleum that cannot be absorbed by the skin and clogs pores.

Palm oil production causes mass deforestation of tropical rainforests and destruction of natural animal habitats, causing huge declines in populations of animals such as the orangutan. 

You won't find any of these in SKINICIAN skincare.
