You know the expression “you are what you eat.” But what about the products you apply to your skin?
Sephora makes it easier for you to find brands that don’t contain parabens, sulfates and other chemicals. Look for the Clean at Sephora seal to find products you can feel good about using.
Clean, natural and organic are buzzwords in the skincare industry. That they’re largely subjective can be confusing — even to savvy shoppers. Clean at Sephora helps clear up what “clean” skincare means. The company is fully transparent about its stringent requirements for a brand to earn the Clean seal.
To be included in the Clean at Sephora collection, all skincare, makeup, haircare and fragrance products must not contain any of these 50+ ingredients.
Fragrance brands must also be cruelty-free, meaning that they do not test on, harm or kill animals in the making of their products.
More than 70 brands currently hold the Clean at Sephora seal.

Shopping Clean at Sephora products is a simple two-step process.
Only fragrance brands must be cruelty-free to get the Clean at Sephora stamp of approval. But that doesn’t mean that other brands on the Clean list aren’t cruelty-free anyway. Be mindful that simply because a particular brand is considered cruelty-free doesn’t necessarily mean its parent company is.
Popular cruelty-free beauty brands that made Sephora’s Clean list include:
Sephora is open about the steps it takes to reduce its environmental impact — the Clean at Sephora initiative one of them.
