Collection: Face Moisturizers

Unfortunately, there is no legal definition of what a 'clean moisturizer' should be, so it’s actually up to each individual brand to determine what they consider clean. At Credo Beauty, we want to bring you the best in clean beauty standards, so we prohibit over 2700 ingredients that have a negative effect on either human health or the environment. As we also push for a higher level of transparency across the industry, you can trust that our range of clean moisturizers are made with safer and sustainable ingredients.

Credo Beauty’s moisturizers are free from known irritants and potentially harmful ingredients such as petrolatum, dimethicone, and parabens, as highlighted in our Dirty List. Conventional moisturizers may contain such ingredients, which are linked to potential negative health effects. While we allow both natural and synthetic fragrances (as some synthetic fragrances are less harmful to the environment and have great safety profiles), we prohibit phthalates, nitromusks, or polycyclic musks.

Natural moisturizers are made using only naturally derived ingredients, while organic moisturizers are created with natural ingredients that have been organically grown and need to adhere to strict guidelines set by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's USDA Organic program. Some clean face moisturizers we offer use organic ingredients or are fully certified as organic final products. And while there is no legal definition of what a clean moisturizer is, the products we stock adhere to our industry-leading vetting in The Credo Clean Standard™.

Individual sensitivities to ingredients can vary. At Credo Beauty, we are pushing for increased levels of transparency in the industry and have policies in place such as our radical Fragrance Transparency Policy. This can help you make more informed decisions and have full clarity on what products to choose for your own skin care needs. You’ll find that clean moisturizers are generally a better moisturizer choice for sensitive skin as they contain fewer irritants such as fragrances, sulfates, parabens, and phthalates. They’re designed for all skin types but are made from ingredients that are gentle and nourishing for the skin, making them a perfect option for those with skin that gets easily irritated.

As we ban over 2700 ingredients that have been linked to negative human health or environmental effects, we only work with top brands that are committed to the highest standards when it comes to offering clean products. If you’re feeling a bit overwhelmed with all of the wonderful clean beauty brands we have available, why not start by checking out some of our bestsellers? You’ll find clean skin moisturizers from brands such as Ursa Major, Follain, and Maya Chia, all of which are brands that are well known for their carefully chosen, responsibly-sourced, high-quality, clean ingredients, and ethical practices.
