Ingredients
We care about every ingredient in our skincare collection because we care about you!
Each product and ingredient is carefully researched and vetted to be the cleanest and safest available. Cindy O'Brien, our founder and holistic aesthetician, gets up close and personal looking into details of formulations, sourcing, hidden toxins and even lab practices. She uses her years of being a professional make-up artist, luxury clean beauty rep and 14 years practicing holistic esthetics to assess each product. LIV + GRACE SKINCARE continues to stay on top of the industry by staying connected to the collective knowledge of clean beauty experts, seasoned estheticians, medical professionals and international wellness groups.
Knowledge is power and we want to share as much as possible so everyone can make the best decisions for themselves and their loved ones.
Our goal is to create customizable, clean and effective skincare without hidden toxins behind the ingredient label, which is a common practice in the personal care and beauty industry. We also promise not to exaggerate benefits of ingredients that are barely detectable in a product.
Because so many of us love to play with different skincare products, LIV + GRACE also considers how ingredients work alone, together and layered. Our goal is to make it easy for your products to play nicely with others and be customizable. Who needs a day and night cream when you can customize one cream to meet all your needs? We are frankly tired of so many wasteful products, so if we keep it simple, keep it clean and keep it real... we think this might catch on!
We ultimately want you to feel good about what products you use without creating a little free radical party on your pretty face!
