Annmarie Skin Care

MADE SAFE-certified, wildcrafted botanical skincare from a founder-owned company.

FDA Warning Letter · 2016 · resolved

FDA warning letter — drug claims

FDA ref. 495979 cited unapproved-drug claims on serums/eye cream; the FDA closed it out in 2020. A labeling/claims matter, not an ingredient-safety finding.

Our take

Why We Trust This Brand

The entire line is MADE SAFE certified — a screen against known carcinogens, endocrine disruptors, and reproductive toxins — plus Leaping Bunny cruelty-free, and the company is founder-owned with no venture or corporate parent. That combination is exactly what we look for, which earns a 9. (For full transparency, the company received an FDA warning letter in 2020 over marketing/structure-function claims — a labeling issue, not an ingredient-safety finding — which is why we stop short of a 10.)

What's inside

Ingredients & Safety

Organic and wildcrafted botanicals in herb-infused aloe and oil bases rather than water, in MIRON violet glass. Free of parabens, sulfates, and synthetic fragrance. MADE SAFE certification vouches for the ingredient screening; organic status is self-declared rather than USDA-certified by choice.
