Your guide to safer personal care products
Since 1993, the Environmental Working Group has shined a spotlight on outdated legislation, harmful agricultural practices and industry loopholes that pose a risk to our health and the health of our environment.
Whether it’s on Capitol Hill or in communities across America, we make our voices heard, changing the debate over environmental health and putting the most important people – you and your family – at the center of the conversation.

Ethics
EWG Verified®
Epicutis® products, by contrast, are EWG Verified®, Proposition 65-compliant and approved for use in the EU, where skincare safety standards are much more stringent. And still— this didn’t meet the incredibly high standards to which we hold our idea of “clean beauty.”
So, in addition, Epicutis® botanicals are responsibly sourced and processed by us for maximum potency, without preservatives, using the most meticulous methods available. Our proprietary chia seed extract is also organic non-GMO. Is this more expensive, even in our faster-and-cheaper age? Yes. But we believe you and your customers deserve nothing less.
Clinical
Backed by Scientific Proof + Transparency
The Epicutis® brand was born in a Princeton research lab, using advanced biotech development methods. Realizing the potential of our technology in the skincare industry, we searched for a brand that met our standards for product transparency, clinical legitimacy, clean formulation and responsible development. Nothing came close—so we created our own brand.
Our research background means that total transparency and data-backed ingredients are part of our DNA. We conduct meticulous analysis on all our individual ingredients and how they combine in our formulations to ensure that when we say “clean,” we really mean it.
Kind
Safe For All Skin Types. Never Tested on Animals.
Epicutis® products were developed using rigorous scientific testing, along with the help of professional estheticians. Our formulations use minimal ingredients and only clean ingredients to ensure no one has to suffer irritation from a product that should provide relief.
Our products are never, ever, tested on animals.
Clean
Simple, Safe + Fragrance Free
We have high standards for what we put on our skin. Epicutis® products are EWG Verified®*, Proposition 65-compliant, and approved for use in the European Union, where skincare safety standards are much more stringent than the United States.
Fragrance: the industry’s dark secret. Fragrance is listed as a single ingredient on a product label, but can be packed with dozens of additional hidden ingredients masked as a secret formula. Because we believe in total transparency, all Epicutis® products are fragrance free.
Green
Responsibly Sourced, Sustainably Produced + Packaged
As consumers become increasingly more eco-conscious, they demand that skincare companies walk the walk – and we agree!
EPICUTIS® botanicals are responsibly sourced and processed for maximum potency using the most meticulous methods available without preservatives. Additionally, our proprietary chia seed extract, HYVIA, is organic and non-GMO. Does this result in a more expensive ingredient cost? Yes. But we believe you and your customers deserve nothing less.
We value sustainability. EPICUTIS® uses responsible sourcing and production methods for all of our ingredients. Our next goal is to have 100% recyclable packaging.
