Collection: Makeup Gifts

While there is no set legal definition of what makes a product 'clean', all of our clean makeup gifts (like all of the products we carry) have been carefully selected and curated based on The Credo Clean Standard™. This means they are free from over 2700 ingredients that can have negative impacts on the environment and/or your skin. There is also no set definition for 'natural' makeup, and these may contain natural and naturally-derived ingredients. Organic makeup, on the other hand, must meet strict requirements set by the U.S. Department of Agriculture through the USDA Organic program.

At Credo Beauty, our clean makeup gifts are carefully curated to not only provide you with a selection of high-quality, effective products, but also ensure that all ingredients and formulations meet our industry-leading standards. This means that they are free from the potentially harmful ingredients listed in our Dirty List, which are often found in conventional makeup products.

Clean makeup gifts are well known for their versatility and can provide you with the perfect makeup gift for a wide range of skin tones and types. Formulated to be gentle on the skin and made from high-quality clean ingredients that have a multitude of benefits for various skin types, clean makeup gifts cater to sensitive skin, acne-prone skin, dry skin, and oily skin, among other skin types. If you have sensitive skin, the good news is that our clean makeup products are formulated to avoid common irritants and allergens. That being said, always patch test new products as sensitivities to ingredients can vary.

Clean gifts for makeup lovers contain products well known for their efficacy and ability to deliver long-lasting wear, vibrant colors, and a professional finish. The effectiveness of these clean products easily rivals the efficacy of mainstream beauty gifts. Not only are they just as results-driven, but they also use natural waxes and butters instead of harsh chemicals to ensure comfortable wear throughout the day.

Not necessarily. This is why, at Credo Beauty, we have strict cruelty-free and sustainability standards in place. All the brands we work with have to abide by these, meaning the products we carry are not tested on animals, are free from many animal-derived ingredients, and prioritize vegan alternatives where possible. They also adopt more sustainable packaging options, using recycled or recyclable materials, and some of our brands even use biodegradable materials and offer refill options.

Identifying truly 'clean' makeup products can be challenging. That's why it's important to look for certifications like EWG Verified and Cruelty-Free when selecting a gift for yourself or someone else. Additionally, keep an eye out for products that have been certified by the USDA Organic program. But beyond certifications, knowing which ingredients to avoid is crucial in determining if a makeup product is truly clean. Common harmful ingredients include sulfates (SLS, SLES), parabens, and phthalates. Fortunately, at Credo Beauty, we take the guesswork out of clean beauty by vetting all of our products to meet the industry-leading guidelines of The Credo Clean Standard™. So you can feel confident in your makeup choices, whether it's for yourself or as a gift.
