What We Will Never Say About Our Skincare
A short list. The language we avoid — overclaims, medical-sounding shorthand, and the tired phrases that try to borrow authority from a clinic. They don't belong on a cosmetic label, and we won't use them.
The forbidden phrases
Start with a plain reading of the heading: the forbidden phrases. What that means in practice — for a customer choosing a product or starting a routine — is less theatrical than marketing usually implies, and more useful.
None of this is a medical promise. It is the craft of making a formula feel right on skin, and making a routine one can actually keep.
Why the rule matters
Start with a plain reading of the heading: why the rule matters. What that means in practice — for a customer choosing a product or starting a routine — is less theatrical than marketing usually implies, and more useful.
We've learned to describe this with care — what we say in marketing and what we say in a lab notebook aren't always the same, and the customer deserves the lab version.
What we say instead
Start with a plain reading of the heading: what we say instead. What that means in practice — for a customer choosing a product or starting a routine — is less theatrical than marketing usually implies, and more useful.
The practical test is simple: pick it up tomorrow, and the day after. Something that lasts a week outlasts something that only looks good in a photo.
