Frequently Asked Questions
-
How do clean body moisturizers differ from natural or organic options?
While organic body moisturizers must adhere to strict guidelines set by the USDA Organic program, natural body moisturizers do not have a legal definition and may contain natural or naturally-derived ingredients. Clean body moisturizers also lack a legal definition, but at Credo Beauty, we have our own rigorous criteria known as The Credo Clean Standard™. This industry-leading standard ensures that all products we offer are free from over 2700 potentially harmful ingredients. By choosing clean body moisturizers, you can feel confident in the safety and sustainability of the products you use on your skin. -
What sets clean body moisturizers apart from regular products in terms of formulation?
Unlike conventional body lotions and creams that may contain harsh chemicals, allergens, and irritants, our clean body moisturizers use natural and organic ingredients to nourish and hydrate your skin. By omitting or restricting the ingredients itemized on our Dirty List, we ensure that the products you're buying from us look after both your health and the planet. What's more, our definition of 'clean' includes strict animal-welfare and cruelty-free requirements. This means that the products we carry are not tested on animals, and also omit or restrict many animal-derived ingredients in favor of vegan alternatives (if you’re seeking a vegan body moisturizer, simply browse our vegan section). -
Are clean body moisturizers suitable for all skin types?
Clean body moisturizers can be suitable for all skin types, but it's important to choose the right one for your specific needs. Some clean body moisturizers may be more lightweight and better suited for oily or combination skin, while others may be richer and better for dry skin or sensitive skin. As our wide range of body moisturizers don't contain harsh chemicals or irritants, they can generally be a good bet for those with sensitive skin. However, it's always best to patch test first as sensitivities to ingredients and fragrances can vary. -
How effective are clean body moisturizers in comparison to mainstream brands?
Clean body moisturizers are just as effective and results-driven as conventional brands. Our clean body moisturizers use high-quality natural ingredients that are nourishing and hydrating for the skin without relying on harsh chemicals or irritants. This can lead to healthier and happier skin in the long run. -
What are key ingredients found in clean body moisturizers, and how do they benefit the skin?
A clean body lotion or cream usually contains natural ingredients such as hyaluronic acid for hydration, shea butter or coconut oil for nourishment, and aloe vera for soothing properties. Clean body moisturizers also often contain antioxidants like vitamin E and natural extracts like green tea to help protect the skin from environmental stressors while promoting overall skin health. -
Can clean body moisturizers address specific skin conditions?
Some clean body moisturizers are specifically formulated to address certain skin conditions, such as dryness or irritation. Others may have added ingredients for anti-aging benefits, to address bumpy skin, or to soothe and calm sensitive skin. It's important to read the labels and ingredient lists carefully to determine if a clean body moisturizer is suitable for your own unique skin. The good news is that, with our constant push for greater transparency and ingredient accountability, you should find it easier to make informed decisions about which clean body moisturizer is best for you. -
Are clean body moisturizers environmentally friendly?
The clean body moisturizers available at Credo Beauty uphold our commitment to sustainability and responsible packaging. Our carefully selected brands adhere to our guidelines, prioritizing recycled, recyclable, and biodegradable materials for packaging and sometimes even offering refill options to reduce waste. Our clean body moisturizers are also free from harsh chemicals that can harm the environment during production and disposal.
