    Your questions, answered.

    Is Uncommon Beauty a clean beauty brand?

    The Uncommon Clean mission is to create clean, safe, and transparent skincare and fragrance products that you can feel confident using time and time again. While there’s no finite definition of “clean skincare” or “clean fragrance,” we hold our formulas to extremely high standards — everything must be vegan, Leaping Bunny certified, gluten free, silicone free, sulfate free, paraben free, petrolatum free, and phthalate free. Additionally, all skincare is fragrance free, our eau de parfum is EWG verified, and we banned over 2,700 ingredients from our skincare and fragrance product formulations that do not align with our standards. We are also 100% transparent about every ingredient in our skincare and fragrance formulas — nothing’s a secret here.

    Is Uncommon Beauty vegan and Leaping Bunny certified?

    Are other companies still making products that aren’t? Of course our products are cruelty free. We even took the extra step to become Leaping Bunny certified and make all of our products vegan (you’re welcome.)

    Are your products fragrance free?  

    All of our products are fragrance free. Specifically, they are created without synthetic fragrances. If you notice a product has a scent, that’s because of the real ingredients we use. For example, if the Enhanced Pineapple Peptide Nectar has a pineapple scent, that’s because we use pineapple extract in it!

      Feels amazing!

      I've only been using the retinol alternative for about two weeks and I love it already! I've already ordered another bottle and other products. I have extremely sensitive skin and none of the other products from UB have given me any reactions.

      First time using retinol

      I have sensitive skin and had tried using retinol in the past and had my skin react horribly to it. So this is the first retinol I am able to use! I'm in my 50s so I love that I can use this. Not sure about results just yet but so far, I love it.

      Not sure if I’ve noticed any difference using this product. Will keep using for another month. Formula is light and smooth, though.
