We don't offer gift cards at this time, but we're so glad you're thinking of gifting us.
Mission and Safety
We believe that the ingredients we choose to formulate with are just as significant as those we don’t. We evaluate and re-evaluate ingredient safety related to people and the planet, assessing and testing obsessively. We examine the available research to inform our decisions and, where there is scientific uncertainty, we take the most protective path. Real clean takes real work and we are committed to sharing ours with you so that we can all do #beautybetter.
We scrutinize every ingredient considered for our products and prohibit the use of those that do not meet our rigorous safety standard. The “Never List” is a continuously evolving list of ingredients we’ve decided can’t be used to formulate our products, and currently includes over 2,800 harmful or questionable ingredients.
Counter currently participates in the following third-party programs: Environmental Working Group (EWG) Verified program, Responsibly Sourced Palm Oil (RSPO) Certification, and Leaping Bunny.
EWG Verified: Administered by the non-profit organization, Environmental Working Group (EWG), that represents one of the most well-recognized, consumer-facing product certifications focused exclusively on ingredient safety and transparency in select consumer products, notably cosmetics.
RSPO Certification: Administered by the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO), we are proud to be RSPO Supply Chain Certified. Our commitment to the program reflects a recognition of the significance of palm to our products and our industry, and the importance of ensuring that palm feedstocks are grown in a manner that prioritizes environmental protection (e.g., does not lead to deforestation, protects biodiversity including endangered species), labor and human rights (e.g., fair treatment of workers), and economic benefits to local communities.
Leaping Bunny: Leaping Bunny Certification is a brand-wide seal that signifies we don’t commission or conduct animal testing on our products or product ingredients.
Single use packaging is a real challenge for the cosmetics industry. While we’re not perfect, we take steps to integrate sustainability considerations into our packaging selection. We use glass extensively across our portfolio; leverage post-consumer recycled (PCR) material in primary packaging; and use Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certified paper in our paper-packaging. We also communicate our use of PCR and provide recycling directions online and on pack as dictated by our participation in the third-party How2Recycle program. Separate of conventional sustainability considerations, our commitment to clean extends to vetting packaging through a safety lens. Our packaging components are subjected to safety review by our in-house expertsand involves significant disclosure and documentation from our packaging partners. We will continue to face the industry packaging challenge head-on.
