TRANSPARENCY W/ INGREDIENTS

THE TRUTH

TROPICAL SKYN is born and bred out of the need for effective skincare. We like our formulas like we like our people: real, honest, safe, cruelty-free, and of course ethically sourced. We believe in being transparent, NO confusion, NO crap, just products that speak for themselves. Let’s get to it. 

WHY WE FORMULATE WITHOUT: 

MERCURY

PARABENS

STEROIDS

PETROLEUM

MINERAL OIL

PHTHALATES

OXYBENZONE

HYDROQUINONE

BUTOXYETHANOL

FORMALDEHYDES

SULFATES (SLS/SLES)

Having an issue with hyperpigmentation and mild acne due to change in climate is no joke. I did what anyone would do; get help. I was sold jars and bottles of lies mixed with steroids, mercury, hydroquinone and only God knows what else. After my skin was thinned out to looking torn and worst than before, I decided to learn Skincare and formulation.
 I got knowledge of what I wanted in my skincare and what I certainly didn’t. Therefore, our formulas are safe by the EU's standards that restricts over 1,300 ingredients. Basically, you can feel confident in what you are using on your skin, yes, the same skin that represents you.

We know that there are advocates out there for the above ingredients, let’s agree to disagree, continue reading.
Certain ingredients MUST be used under the supervision of a certified dermatologist for obvious reasons. They are harsh chemicals that can damage your skin from zero to one hundred. They are abused to the level of users experiencing changes in their body odor, sudden aches and pains. Yes, you read right and you can do your research to see as well.
After abusing these ingredients, corrective skincare is a MUST!
Those ingredients gives fast, problematic results. We don’t know about you, but no skin issue is worth going to the hassle.

MARKETING TRANSPARENCY:

We can’t lie just to make money, we pride our brand in honesty and transparency, and we know that as our customers you can handle the truth: Less is more, no matter what condition your skin is in. It's all about the formula and your skin type!

  • CRUELTY FREE & VEGAN

Our brand is built on a solid foundation of high vibrations and good vibes. We never test on animals all our formulations are vegan and cruelty free, so you can feel good about what you're putting on your skin (and your conscience). 

  • NATURAL & NATURALLY DERIVED

We like to play it both ways - powered by botanicals, we use natural ingredients and those that have been derived from them. Natural ingredients come straight from the source, like a true nature's gift, while naturally derived ingredients have been given a little boost for functionality, for example Eco friendly raw materials.
The Good Glow.

POWERED BY BOTANICALS 

We use both natural and naturally derived ingredients in our formulas. But what's the difference? Natural ingredients are those that exist in nature and undergo physical processes or fermentation without any chemical modification.

MARKETING TRANSPARENCY:

You can't have your cake and eat it too, or your skincare for that matter. We're all for natural ingredients, for emulsified formulas (with water), we use eco- friendly preservatives to prevent bacteria and other nasties to maintain a reasonable shelf life.

SHOULD WE AVOID CHEMICALS?

Everything under the sun, including us fabulous humans, is composed of chemicals. Take H2O (water), for example, a chemical that's virtually impossible to escape. On the other hand, there's Arsenic, a natural chemical that we should definitely steer clear of. But don't let the fear of chemicals get the best of you! It's crucial to get to know them before you label them as a "Karen" that you want to avoid.

MARKETING TRANSPARENCY:

Even natural ingredients, in a high enough dose, can turn your skin from smooth and supple to angry and irritated. When a formula contains a blend of active ingredients, increasing the concentration of just one ingredient may counteract the efficacy or compatibility with the other ingredients in the formula. Rendering it entirely useless.

We take great care in the formulation process to ensure that each ingredient is precisely balanced, and that the overall formula is optimized for maximum effectiveness. We believe that the key to a successful skincare product is not just in the percentage of an active ingredient, but in the skillful and thoughtful combination of ingredients.

 

We create high potency formulas for effective results!
