Sunset Slumber’s Clean Beauty Commitment:
What It Means and Why It Matters
In a world where skincare shelves are packed with promises, Sunset Slumber takes a different approach. For us, skincare is more than a routine. It's the slow quiet part of our chaotic day. Dare we call it an act of self-love that connects you to your body and your values towards yourself.
Why Clean Beauty Isn’t Just a Trend
Unfortunately, the skincare industry is largely unregulated, and especially in the U.S., where fewer than 20 cosmetic ingredients are banned or restricted. In contrast, the European Union has restricted over 1,600. Creating a gap that allows harmful ingredients to sneak into everyday products, just for companies to lower costs or have a longer shelf life. With an increasing number of women becoming more aware and concerned about what they are consuming, it's important that brands consider this.
At Sunset Slumber, we believe clean beauty should mean REAL responsibility. We refuse to cut corners, mask harmful ingredients under vague labels like "proprietary blends," or put profit above people and the planet.
Sunset Slumber's Clean Beauty Standard
Before a product is launched, we make sure it's up to our Clean Beauty standards. This is how we hold ourselves accountable and ensure our products are safe, effective, and eco-conscious.
What do we stand for?
-
✅ 100% Cruelty-Free
We never test on animals and don't plan on it, EVER! -
✅ Vegan Formulations (except for our beeswax)
All beeswax used is sourced sustainably and ethically. -
✅ Sustainable Sourcing
Our ingredients are intentionally picked to preserve natural resources. -
✅ Eco-Conscious Production
Every stage — from formulation to packaging — is designed with the planet in mind. We don't use plastic packaging or send things with a whole bunch of unnecessary paper waste. -
✅ Full Transparency
No vague labels. No greenwashing. Just full ingredient lists you can trust. -
✅ Biodiversity Protection
We support ingredient sourcing that safeguards natural ecosystems.
Sunset Slumber's Ingredient Blacklist
We say no to ingredients that don’t serve your skin or the world around it. Here are just a few that we refuse to use:
-
❌ Carcinogens
Ingredients linked to cancer are completely banned. No cancer-causing products over here. -
❌ Parabens
Known hormone disruptors. They're not invited to our formula party. -
❌ Phthalates
Banned in the EU but still found in U.S. skincare. Even though we are based in the U.S., we don’t use them, ever! -
❌ SLS Sulfates
These strip your skin of natural oils and damage the skin barrier. Our products do the exact opposite. -
❌ Benzene & Derivatives
Linked to toxicity and contamination risks. -
❌ Formaldehyde, BHA & Toxic Preservatives
These harmful preservatives cause irritation and long-term health risks. -
❌ Silicones & Siloxanes
Known for building up in the body and polluting waterways. -
❌ Synthetic Dyes & Toxic Pigments
Including coal tar, carbon black, and talc — all linked to potential harm. -
❌ Toxic Fragrances
We only use clean, phthalate-free scents or none at all.
