We have big news:

Our neroli & cardamom hydrating mist, rose & tangerine hydrating mist and sandalwood & chamomile calming mist have been MADE SAFE® certified!

At Leaf People, taking a holistic approach in our manufacturing is just as important as in our skincare itself. In every step of the process, we consider the impact of our actions on the planet, on our bodies and on our hearts and minds. By diligently adhering to these standards, we are happy to be supported by these third-party certifications that reflect our brand’s ethos and goals. Stay tuned as more and more of our products are certified. We are diligently working through the submission process!

MADE SAFE® certified products are examined by researchers and scientists to ensure they’re made without known behavioral toxins, carcinogens, developmental toxins, endocrine disruptors, synthetic flame retardants, heavy metals, neurotoxins, high risk pesticides, reproductive toxins, toxic solvents, or harmful VOCs. MADE SAFE additionally screens ingredients for bioaccumulation, environmental persistence, general ecosystem harm, as well as for toxicity to aquatic and terrestrial life. When there is doubt they exercise the precautionary principle, erring on the side of caution. The MADE SAFE approach flips the current regulatory model of innocent until proven guilty, on its head. This 360-degree assessment makes MADE SAFE the most rigorous standard in existence.With this seal, we hope to make your purchasing decisions a little easier by offering a 3rd party certification that supports our clean manufacturing practices. Together may we continue down a road of good health for ourselves, the planet and all its inhabitants. Please check out madesafe.org for more details about this incredible organization.
