Frequently Asked Questions

How are clean cheek makeup products different from natural or organic products?
Clean cheek makeup products, like all of the products we carry at Credo Beauty, adhere to The Credo Clean Standard™. This means they have been carefully formulated without harmful ingredients and are safer for your skin and body - as well as the environment. Natural cheek makeup products may use plant-based or naturally derived ingredients, but there is no standardized definition for what constitutes 'natural.' Organic cheek makeup products must meet strict standards set by the U.S. Department of Agriculture via the USDA Organic program. -
How does clean cheek makeup differ from regular products?
At Credo Beauty, our unparalleled standards and vetting process ensure that the clean products we offer are not only effective but also safer and more sustainable. Every product we offer abides by our industry-leading standards, excluding over 2700 ingredients associated with potential health or environmental risks. Additionally, we impose sustainability and packaging requirements to reduce the ecological impact of the beauty industry. These benefits combined make clean cheek makeup a compelling choice for those who want beautiful color without compromising on safety or sustainability. -
What ingredients should I look for in clean cheek makeup products?
By choosing clean makeup with nourishing and kind-to-skin ingredients, you can keep your cheeks happy and healthy. Products containing natural oils like jojoba oil or shea butter can add hydration and a dewy finish. Those that contain plant extracts like beetroot extract offer a natural flush, while chamomile soothes the skin. Products that include minerals such as mica provide shimmer and luminosity, while zinc oxide can offer sun protection. -
Can I achieve the same results with clean cheek makeup as I do with regular makeup?
The clean cheek makeup products we carry are just as effective and results-driven as regular options. Many of the clean brands we work with offer vibrant shades with mineral pigments or natural colorants that deliver beautiful color payoff. Layering a cream blush under a powder blush is also a great way to create a long-lasting flush. Clean makeup primers formulated with natural ingredients can also help extend wear. For the best result, apply clean classic powder blush to moisturized skin for better blending. Use a setting spray formulated with clean ingredients to lock in your look. Remember, a little goes a long way - build color gradually for a natural, radiant finish. -
How can I make the switch to using clean cheek makeup?
Making the switch to clean cheek makeup is easy! You could begin by replacing one product, like blush, with a clean option. This eases you in and lets you compare results. Check online reviews and consult trusted beauty blogs or publications. Brands like RMS Beauty and ILIA Beauty are known for their high-performing, clean cheek products. You'll find clean cheek makeup that delivers beautiful results while aligning with your values. -
Tips for prolonging the shelf life of clean cheek makeup products
Keep your makeup in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat, as this prevents ingredients from breaking down. Wash your hands before applying makeup to avoid introducing bacteria and use a clean makeup brush or sponge. Regularly sharpen pencils to prevent product build-up and bacteria growth. Finally, check expiration dates and avoid using expired makeup to ensure optimal performance and minimize the risk of irritation.
