Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is the difference between clean personal care products and natural or organic personal care products?
Organic personal care products adhere to strict standards put in place by the U.S. Department of Agriculture through the USDA Organic program. Natural personal care products do not have an official legal framework and usually feature natural or naturally-derived ingredients. Clean personal care products also lack a legal definition. To address this, we've established our proprietary Credo Clean Standard™, which excludes over 2700 ingredients known to potentially harm the environment or human health. -
What clean alternatives are available for deodorants and antiperspirants?
There are many clean alternatives available for deodorants and antiperspirants, including products made with natural ingredients such as witch hazel, AHA (alpha hydroxy acid), charcoal, niacinamide, and essential oils. Some popular brands include Nécessaire, Native, Routine, Kai Naturals, and Corpus. They do not use potentially harmful ingredients like aluminum, parabens, and phthalates, providing you with effective odor control without compromising on your personal health or the environment. -
Are there clean alternatives for oral care products like toothpaste and mouthwash?
Yes - you can find toothpaste, mouthwash, and dental floss featuring ingredients such as natural oils, fibers, and gentle abrasives. Hydroxyapatite, a naturally occurring mineral that helps to strengthen and protect teeth, is also commonly used in clean oral care products. Coconut oil is also a popular ingredient known for its antibacterial properties and its ability to soothe gums and provide cleansing properties. You'll find top clean oral care brands using these ingredients at Credo Beauty, including CocoFloss and Risewell. -
Are clean personal care products suitable for all skin types?
Clean personal care products, such as oral care, feminine care, hair care, and skin care products, are a great choice for all skin types. They are free from harsh chemicals, as well as common allergens and irritants, making them suitable even for those with sensitive skin. However, as with any skin care or personal care product, it's important to consider any potential personal allergies or sensitivities to specific ingredients. It's always a good idea to patch test first and pay attention to how your skin responds to a product over time. -
Can clean personal care products be as effective as mainstream alternatives?
Clean personal care products are just as results-driven as mainstream alternatives. Not only do they effectively cleanse, nourish, and look after your skin, but they also offer additional benefits such as improving overall skin health and reducing your exposure to potentially harmful chemicals - meaning you'll also gain long-term benefits. -
Are clean personal care products environmentally friendly?
At Credo Beauty, our commitment to sustainability extends to our range of clean personal care products. Like all of our other offerings, these products adhere to our own, strict sustainable packaging standards designed to reduce the environmental impact of the beauty industry. Many of the brands we work with prioritize packaging made from recycled or recyclable materials, while others opt for biodegradable options and provide refill systems to cut down on waste.
