    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 skincare products are synthetic fragrance free. If you notice a product has a scent, that’s because of the ingredients we use. For example, if the Enhanced Pineapple Peptide Nectar has a pineapple scent, that’s because we use pineapple extract in it.

      Gentle but works!

      I don't have sensitive skin, but I'm able to use this without any issue. I use it every other day at night.
