It’s what’s inside that counts

We’re big on transparency, so we’ll always tell you what we put into and leave out of our products, and why we chose to include them (or not). It’s important to us that our products do good, as well as look good (and feel good!), so we’re constantly evolving our formulations and reviewing their ingredients based on the latest scientific reports and ingredient technologies.

Above all, we believe in quality, not quantity. Phase Zero is all about using ingredients that have real benefits and won’t cause irritation, clog your pores, or impact the efficacy of our products. Anything that is deemed harmful or has questionable safety data will be removed.

We believe that beauty products should give the best results as possible, using the best materials available, so the below list will tell you about the ingredients that we promise never to use, the manufacturing and testing guidelines we adhere to, and our ‘clean beauty’ philosophy.

We hope you find this a helpful resource. If you have any questions, we’re here: hello@phasezeromakeup.com.

Clean Philosophy

We have never tested on animals, and since March 2019 all formulas we’ve produced have been vegan friendly and free of any animal-derived ingredients. We don’t believe in waste, so you may notice that a few of our older (non-vegan) products are still available on site and are not labelled as ‘clean’.
