Excluded Ingredients

Our commitment to safe effective ingredients:
You care about your health and make a conscious decision to avoid products with certain ingredients—we get that, and we want to help make that decision easier. “Clean” beauty has become an industry standard buzzword without a clear definition. At Gusto and Co “clean” means safe, sustainable, ethical and transparent. You won’t find products with ingredients considered harmful or with inconclusive safety data or ingredients that damage the environment by eradicating natural resources through unsustainable farming practices. We seek and validate as much information as possible about the source of ingredients including composition, purity and stability and consumer testing before adding a brand or product to our lineup. 
There are over 20 ingredients you won’t find in any of the products we carry at Gusto and Co and as the clean beauty movement grows and innovates, we'll continue to expand our product offerings with groundbreaking indie brands and identify even more chemicals to reduce and eliminate.
