Sustainability is a core value of The Formulators LAB, it guides the choices we make as a company. Raw materials are processed using the guidelines of the 12 principles of cosmetic chemistry. Sustainability meets the needs of the present without a destructive impact to people, animals and the planet. In return, it promotes the ability of future generations to meet their needs. You can find sustainable, renewable, biodegradable and fair trade ingredients in The Formulators Glossary.
