We all deserve better.

At Beautycounter, we set the standards above and beyond the industry and define CLEAN BEAUTY as:

1. Banning intentionally -- The "Never List" is a list of approximately 1500 harmful or questionable ingredients that we prohibit from our formulations, including nearly 1400 ingredients banned in the EU but not in the US.

2. Screen Intentionally -- Using the best available sources, we screen every potential ingredient for information on specific hazards like cancer, developmental toxicity and hormone disruption

3. Learn Constantly-- There are major data gaps on most cosmetic ingredients, so we review emerging data regularly and even conduct our own.

4. Source Responsibly -- We choose the best ingredients that meet our standards and over 80% are plant - derived.

5. Share Transparently -- Every forumla ingredient is listed on the website and on the product labels.

Here are some recent PRESS Articles about how Beautycounter & clean beauty are making an impact!

1 in 8 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer. In the 1960’s the ratio was 1 in 20. What’s even more alarming, only 10% of the women diagnosed with breast cancer carry a gene for the disease. Research indicates that toxic chemicals play a role in serious health issues like cancer. These toxic chemicals can be found in many of our personal care products.

American women and teens use an average of TWELVE beauty products a day – soap, shampoo, conditioner, face wash, lotion, deodorant, mascara, eyeliner, lipstick, sunscreen, etc. Men use an average of SIX. And kids? Think of all the lotions with potentially harmful chemicals that we use on our children and babies! The United States simply does not regulate this industry well enough. Beautycounter’s mission is to change this by banning harmful ingredients intentionally, screening rigorously, learning constantly, sourcing responsibly, and sharing transparently. Our hope is that more health-protective laws eventually exist to regulate every item on the shelf.

Tonight, we will focus on our core skin care regimens, which often contain some of the more harmful chemicals – especially acne and antiaging lines! Most of us use several skincare products morning and evening, so let’s make sure they’re good for us!

First up, meet COUNTERCONTROL, our new line for acne-prone and oily skin!

Instead of ingredients like harsh surfactants, benzoyl peroxide, and sulfur which irritate and dry, Countercontrol uses a blend we call SkinBalance Complex, which is a combination of natural salicylic acid from wintergreen (helps exfoliate dead skin cells and restore the imbalance of bacteria to a healthy level) and Rosebay willow (helps reduce irritation and decrease sebum production).

This line includes:

• Clear Pore Cleanser: featuring SkinBalance Complex and aloe vera, helps purify pores and soothe while jojoba beads gently slough away dead skin cells. Infused with an energizing citrus scent, it leaves your complexion feeling refreshed and balanced, not dry or irritated.

• Instant Matte Toner: This alcohol-free mattifying toner for oily and blemish-prone skin removes residual impurities, controls excess oil, and minimizes the appearance of pores.

• All Over Acne Treatment: Clear existing blemishes and prevent future breakouts with this all-over treatment. Uses plant-based salicylic acid to help reduce blemishes while promoting healthy-looking skin.

• SOS Spot Treatment: This fast-acting formula with maximum strength salicylic acid penetrates pores to reduce blemishes and clear skin. The invisible gel treats breakouts without over-drying and boy does it work!!

Countermatch is the ultimate regimen for hydrated, radiant skin. This is our Age Prevention line and is good for most skin types. Introduced last year, it sold out in less than 12 hours. Upon its second release, it sold out in less than a week!

This line includes:

• Pure Calm Cleansing Milk: An ultra-gentle, hydrating cleanser that removes makeup and impurities without surfactants that can strip away natural oils. You use this on a dry face and remove with warm water!

• Intense Moisture Serum: A lightweight serum that delivers a concentrated boost of moisture for immediate and lasting hydration. Vitamins C (ascorbic acid) and E (tocopherol) provide antioxidant protection.

• Adaptive Moisture Lotion: Daily face lotion that helps skin cope with environmental aggressors by adjusting hydration and oxygenation levels throughout the day. This lightweight lotion hydrates consistently to provide 24 hours of hydration.

Meet our much-loved Countertime Rejuvinating anti-aging line!

This advanced collection combats all the signs of aging – wrinkles, sun spots, dryness, uneven skin tone, elasticity (or lack thereof) - with Jambu extract and other botanicals as opposed to harsh chemicals. Retinol or retinyl palmitate are used in anti-aging products to stimulate the regeneration of skin cells. However, when vitamin A is exposed to UV light, it can produce free radicals that damage DNA and may be linked to cancer. Instead, we use spilanthes acmella flower extract to gently stimulate collagen synthesis.

This line will help reveal a younger, firmer complexion with consistent use and includes the following:

• Rejuvenating Cleanser: A softening blend of fruit and berry seed oils keeps this face cleanser gentle and non-greasy, while providing nourishing benefits so skin looks and feels soft and clean.

• Rejuvenating Toner Pads: Tone skin and minimize the appearance of pores.These lightly scented toning pads contain antioxidant-rich mixed fruit acid complex and vitamin C, along with lentil seed and algae extracts to refine skin’s texture and tone. I suggest these for reducing age spots or sun spots.

• Rejuvenating Radiance Serum: Helps even the look of skin tone, improve hydration, and reduce the appearance of dark spots and fine lines thanks to a combination of vitamin C and algae extract. Lightweight and easily absorbed, the formula is a must for layering under moisturizer.

• Rejuvenating Eye Cream: Reduce puffiness and diminish the appearance of dark circles and fine lines with this powerful formula, made with skin-conditioning algae and caffeine. Provides an immediate pick me up!

• Rejuvenating Day Cream: Soften and soothe skin while helping increase elasticity. A combination of omega-rich natural oils and vitamin-rich fruit extracts hydrates and brightens skin, while flower extracts help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

• Rejuvenating Night Cream: Lock in moisture during sleep for skin that looks and feels smoother, firmer, and more hydrated in the morning. Formulated with algae extract and safflower oil, this rich night cream helps intensify the nightly cycle of natural skin repair.

• Nourishing Cream Exfoliator: This gentle yet effective exfoliating cleanser sweeps away flaky skin and impurities to reveal fresh, radiant skin. Non-abrasive jojoba beads help smooth skin, while organic coconut oil and aloe soothe and hydrate.

It prepares skin for better absorption of skin care products and is a hidden GEM in this collection!! Rosewater is very soothing and can also help reduce redness and inflammation, like rosacea.

• Nourishing Eye Cream: Pamper the delicate skin around eyes with this lightweight, soothing eye cream. Rich in aloe and organic coconut oil, this unscented formula is easily absorbed and offers an instant boost of moisture. Also makes a great primer for eye makeup!

• Nourishing Day Cream: Easily absorbed and never greasy, the unscented formula includes a mix of organic coconut oil, safflower oil, and aloe to provide nourishing hydration, plus antioxidant-rich acai to protect against dryness. This day cream gives more of a matte finish – teens love it!!

Hi Everyone!

Thank you for joining Kristina's Beautycounter LAUNCH PARTY! I am thrilled she has decided to share about what she is loving & learning with YOU, her friends and family.

I am helping Kristina with her first Beautycounter party, so I wanted to introduce myself. 🙂

My name is Gina and I have been with Beautycounter for about 3 months! My journey toward safer beauty and skincare started yearsssss ago. I've always been a skincare snob and when I was researching a very popular world-known skincare company, I was about to make a purchase when I noticed a small disclaimer at the bottom of their website... "some ingredients known to cause cancer in California." CANCER. 🧐😱

That's when I knew I needed to learn more about what I was putting ON my body. We are constantly getting messages about our health: what we eat, why we need exercise, etc.. But what about the safety of the products we use daily for our makeup and skincare?

Enter Beautycounter! Like many of you, I am sure, I enjoy nice products, and I did not want to sacrifice the effectiveness of a product for safety. Luckily, Beautycounter is both safe and effective (just read a few reviews & you will see)!

# data[].attributes.body
For me, it all started when a friend of mine started talking to me about clean skincare. I had never thought about what was in my products because I assumed our government had strict regulations.

It wasn't until I heard about the traces of asbestos in Johnson and Johnson's baby powder that I decided to take a good hard look at what we were using. Armed with Beautycounter's Never List and Google, I did some research and decided to start by swapping a few of our daily skincare products.

I eventually decided to join Beautycounter as a consultant so that I could spread the information I've learned and continue to learn about my skincare/makeup products.

It isn't about making a living off of selling makeup. It is about taking care of myself and my family's health.
