Frequently Asked Questions
-
How is clean hair care different from natural or organic?
The USDA Organic program certifies organic ingredients and products, ensuring they meet stringent legal standards set by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Some of the hair care products we offer contain organic ingredients or are entirely certified as organic. In contrast, natural hair care products, lacking a legal definition, use natural or naturally derived ingredients. Clean hair care also lacks a legal definition, but we at Credo Beauty ensure that all the hair products we offer meet our industry-leading values in The Credo Clean Standard™, which bans over 2700 ingredients that have been linked to negative effects on the skin and/or the environment. -
How do clean hair products differ from regular ones?
Sulfates, silicones, parabens, and phthalates are often found in regular hair products, and these ingredients can be harsh on your hair, make it appear dull, irritate the scalp, and more. Each product we offer adheres to our strict clean standards, ensuring they’re free from ingredients associated with negative health or environmental effects. We also enforce strict sustainability and packaging guidelines for our brands to reduce the ecological footprint of consumer products. -
Are clean hair products suitable for all hair types?
At Credo Beauty, we aim to bring you the best in clean hair products and offer a range that caters for all hair types. So, whether you have curly hair, wavy hair, color-treated hair, or damaged hair, you’ll be able to find a clean hair product tailored to your hair care needs. However, you should always check the label to ensure that the ingredients used are compatible with your hair type. For example, if you have fine hair you should look for volumizing hair care products, while those with dry hair should seek out clean products that are rich in butters and natural oils. To get the results you desire, you can experiment with a few different products to discover which ones work best for you. -
Are there any certifications for clean hair products?
Among the most recognized certifications for clean hair products are the EWG Verified and USDA Organic certifications, and Cruelty-Free. These certifications can give you added confidence that you are shopping for cruelty-free, eco-friendly, and safe skin care products. At Credo Beauty, we go the extra mile to ensure you get the best of clean hair care by collaborating exclusively with brands that abide by the strict criteria of The Credo Clean Standard™. -
What does “clean hair care” mean?
There’s no clear legal definition for what makes hair care “clean” - each brand has their own interpretation of what “clean” means to them. At Credo Beauty, the products we carry adhere to our industry-leading Credo Clean Standard™, which bans or restricts over 27,000 potentially harmful ingredients. -
Are clean hair products safe for color-treated hair?
The clean shampoos and conditioners we carry are gentle enough to maintain color vibrancy while nourishing your hair. Without harsh sulfates or strong detergents, your color lasts longer and your strands feel healthier. -
Are clean shampoos and conditioners suitable for curly or textured hair?
Yes - our range of clean hair care can be especially great for curly or textured hair. Ingredients like shea butter, coconut oil, and aloe help moisturize and define curls without weighing them down or leaving buildup. The clean brands we carry all avoid sulfates and other harsh ingredients that strip natural oils, so your hair can stay soft, bouncy and healthy (both now and in the long term). -
Do clean hair products help with dry or damaged hair?
Hydrating oils, plant-based proteins, and gentle surfactants work together to restore moisture, reduce breakage, and strengthen hair over time. You’ll often notice softer, shinier strands without the heavy silicones or mineral oils that coat but don’t nourish - meaning more hydrated, softer and repaired hair that’s actually healthy. -
Do clean hair care brands use sustainable packaging?
At Credo Beauty, we prioritize brands that use recycled or refillable packaging, minimal plastic, and responsibly sourced materials. It’s part of our commitment to a cleaner beauty routine that’s not only good for you but also better for the environment. -
What is the healthiest hair care routine?
A simple, healthy routine is usually: Cleanse with a gentle shampoo suited to your hair type, avoiding harsh sulfates. Condition to restore moisture and strengthen strands, focusing on mid-lengths to ends. Treat as needed with masks, oils, or leave-ins for extra hydration or repair. Protect from heat styling or UV exposure with lightweight, clean heat protectants.
