Our take
Why We Flagged It
The company is still founder-controlled by Anie Rouleau with no corporate parent, and it is a Certified B Corp and Leaping Bunny cruelty-free — so the ethics and independence check out. We score the ingredients a 7 rather than higher because some formulas use sodium laureth sulfate (SLES) and a benzisothiazolinone preservative, which keep it just below the EWG-Verified tier even though the line is genuinely fragrance-free and biodegradable.
What's inside
Ingredients & Safety
Genuinely fragrance-free (no added scent, not masked), dye-free, paraben-free, plant- and mineral-based, biodegradable, and vegan. Worth knowing: some products contain SLES (an ethoxylated surfactant) and benzisothiazolinone (a preservative and possible skin sensitizer), so it is clean-and-transparent rather than the strictest "no-compromise" tier.
Certifications
Worth a closer look — 2 ingredients we flag:
Sodium Laureth Sulfate — sometimes listed as SLES
Can be contaminated with 1,4-dioxane during ethoxylation.
Benzyl Alcohol — sometimes listed as Phenylmethanol
Preservative and natural fragrance component; effective and low-risk but a possible contact allergen for sensitive skin.
