Our Credo

Credo is here to create a safer, more sustainable, more ethical beauty industry. We lead by example: setting the highest clean beauty standard, supporting brands and founders who share our values, and helping consumers choose products that reflect their health goals and personal values.

What are the potential risks associated with ingredients?

We believe that all consumers deserve the best and safest cosmetic products. We work diligently to understand the hazards and potential risks of ingredients that we use everyday, and over a lifetime, through our own science-based hazard assessments and partnerships with experts in the industry. We recognize that the beauty industry is not fully transparent in its practices, so we work hard through our questioning, our policies, and our advocacy work to lead the change needed.

How can we remove waste from the beauty packaging cycle?

Our Sustainable Packaging Guidelines require our brand partners to meet specific standards meant to eliminate the use of single-use items and reduce the use of virgin plastic and non-recyclable materials. We also offer our brands best practices from packaging design to end-of-life management, and connect them with preferred packaging suppliers so we can reduce barriers to implementation and spur innovation.

Are we protecting the health and supporting the well-being of our communities?

Just treatment of humans should be the norm, but sadly it's not. We believe understanding and working to protect the health and well-being of people all along the value chain, from manufacturing workers to the communities near manufacturing facilities or sourcing locations is a critical part of clean beauty.
