Ingredients
LIV + GRACE SKINCARE by Cindy O'Brien is Powerful, Ultra Clean + Holistic. Each product and ingredient is carefully researched and vetted by Cindy O’Brien. She gets up close and personal by looking into the back end of our formulations, ingredients and even the formulators. She uses the experience of her hands-on holistic skincare practice and the collective knowledge from hundreds of practicing estheticians, clean beauty experts and international health advocates.
Our goal is to create powerful, effective, nontoxic skincare with NO HIDDEN INGREDIENTS behind the ingredients on the label, which is a common practice in the personal care industry. We consider how these ingredients work alone, together and layered. Each ingredient has been reviewed thoroughly to keep it clean and keep it real!
We want you to be able to feel good about what you use and be able to add our individual products into any skincare regimen without creating a science experiment on your face!
