We’re meticulous about the ingredients we put into our formulas—and the ones we don’t. If there’s a chance a common ingredient could be harmful to your skin or your body, we won’t use it. Period.
The “fragrance” on a label often acts as a catchall for any number of synthetic chemicals in a product—and it’s difficult to know if they’re all safe. Instead of artificial fragrance and related additives, Back To Earth Skin uses only good-for-you natural ingredients and essential oils.
You’ll never find synthetic ingredients in our products, even if they’re chemically identical to the natural version. We only source from nature—leaves, seeds, fruits and minerals—using the highest standards. The result? Each Back To Earth Skin product has the best ingredients that our earth can provide.
