But that’s why it’s so nice that there are some gems who actually have scientifically backed formulations, or even better: contribute to science by doing studies and creating new categories!
Aren't the majority of skin care things (and makeup) tested on animals though?
In regards to safety, yes. They have to make sure you don't develop a rash or something. Good thing there are regulations for that, otherwise at least some companies would try without that, too.
P&G does some interesting anti-aging research involving genetics. I saw a talk about it some years ago when I was in chemistry graduate school.
SK-II is therefore probably legit but it's too expensive for me.
you just sent me down a 30 min google spiral hahah, thank you for the tip!
