We Make Skin Safe Products a Priority
There is a turning point in every woman’s life. A moment when you realize you need to do something, to create something, to make a difference.My turning point came in 2003. After working for more than 10 years as a product developer for several large cosmetics companies, I saw firsthand the widespread use of potentially harmful chemicals in beauty products. I grew frustrated by the industry’s unwillingness to invest in the research needed to find safer, more natural ingredients.
I knew there were millions of women, like me, who wanted a better choice for their skin and their health. That’s when I decided to create RAW Natural Beauty to offer women the better choice they were looking for. I spent nearly three years searching the world for the most innovative natural ingredients that deliver superior performance without harsh chemicals.
All RAW Natural Beauty products are free of parabens, petrochemicals, and synthetic dyes and fragrances. You’ll find all of our ingredients listed along with each product, as well as our exclusive natural botanicals that actively nourish and protect your skin.
skin deep
Skin Deep is a comprehensive database which pairs ingredients in more than 25,000 cosmetic products against 50 toxicity and regulatory databases. The FDA doesn't require companies to test their own products for safety so this website makes it possible for you, the consumer, to research the ingredients in the cosmetic products that you use.RAW Natural Beauty believes Skin Deep to be an invaluable resource and our products are listed in their registry. It’s important that you know about what you put on your skin, especially because chemicals and toxic ingredients can be harmful to your health.
