Our standards
To earn a place in your daily lineup, our products must check these boxes.
Truly clean
![Translucent liquid showcasing glossy texture on a white background.](http://www.ursamajorvt.com/cdn/shop/files/1200x1200.jpg?v=1710259894&width=1000)
Our formulas are centered around plant ingredients and their natural superpowers. Sparingly and intentionally, we’ll also use proven, safe synthetic ingredients (like certain preservatives) when there isn’t a viable natural alternative, to offset any health concerns. If you’re putting it on your body, it’s got to be safe. Period.
Every ingredient we use meets The Credo Clean Standard™. We never use harmful chemicals like parabens, synthetic fragrances or colors, SLS, SLES, silicones, or PEGs.
Wildly effective

Whether it’s boosting radiance, delivering deep hydration, or softening the look of fine lines, our job is to find the right active ingredients at the right active levels, so you get the results you’re looking for. Otherwise, why bother?
Always delightful

We work hard to capture refreshing aromas, beautiful colors, and elegant textures, using only natural ingredients. It takes a few extra steps and a bit of extra alchemy—but we couldn’t let you miss out on the sensorial magic of being in nature. It’s too delightful.
