Collection: Face Makeup

Organic face makeup must meet strict standards set by the U.S. Department of Agriculture through the USDA Organic program, while natural face makeup isn't regulated and may simply contain natural or naturally-derived ingredients. Clean face makeup is not legally defined either, but at Credo Beauty, we have established The Credo Clean Standard™ to ensure that our products are free from over 2700 ingredients that have been shown to have a negative impact on the environment or human health.

Clean face makeup at Credo Beauty goes beyond just providing a flawless finish. Our products meet our rigorous standards, ensuring they do not contain any potentially harmful ingredients commonly found in conventional face makeup, such as parabens and phthalates. This means that, not only are they safer for your skin, but also for the environment. Additionally, we impose sustainability and packaging requirements on our brands, promoting eco-friendly practices and responsible sourcing of materials.

From inclusive formulations to a diverse range of shades, clean face makeup caters to a wide range of skin types and tones. You’ll find clean face makeup products with hyaluronic acid, which is extremely beneficial for dry skin due to its moisturizing properties, mattifying clays, which are great for oily skin as they mattify skin and hide pores while preventing excess oil production, and soothing ingredients well known for their suitability for sensitive skin. Clean brands promote inclusivity, so you’ll discover a wide range of shades for foundations, concealers, and setting powders as well as varying lipstick shades and cheek tints.

Yes, clean face makeup can help address various skin care concerns as it has a high level of skin-nourishing and dermatologically-tested ingredients. The formulations used in clean face makeup products contain hydrating agents such as hyaluronic acid, antioxidants such as vitamins C and E, and soothing ingredients such as aloe vera, making them extremely beneficial for a variety of skin care concerns. Many clean brands ensure their products undergo dermatological testing, too, which ensures they’re suitable for sensitive skin and won’t cause irritation.

Clean makeup for face often incorporates long-wearing properties, providing a durable and reliable option if you’re searching for clean products that effectively provide all-day wear. They use natural waxes and plant-derived ingredients that provide long-lasting results while still allowing your skin to breathe. You also won't experience a heavy, cakey feel when wearing your face makeup throughout the day, even if you enjoy high coverage.

When transitioning from conventional makeup to clean makeup, you should gradually incorporate it into your beauty routine one product at a time to make the switch more manageable. For example, find a clean foundation, setting powder, or skin tint you want to try, and use it instead of the regular product you’d normally use. Once satisfied with this product, you can move on to the next one and repeat this process until your beauty routine switchover is complete. If you’re unsure where to start and want to ease your transition to clean makeup, there are a few tips to follow. It’s recommended to begin by switching to a clean tinted moisturizer, mineral powder, or mascara first, but you may still need to explore a few products before finding the perfect product type for you.

At Credo Beauty, our concept of clean beauty means strict animal-welfare and cruelty-free standards. We ensure that our products aren't tested on animals and favor vegan alternatives by banning or limiting a wide range of animal-derived ingredients.
