My Surprisingly Glowy Results After Switching to Credo Clean Beauty Products

Okay beautiful, skincare obsessive, listen up! By the end of this review, I’m going to convince you that paying a premium for Credo Beauty’s clean makeup and skincare is 100% worth it. I would know – I’ve had lackluster experiences with “natural” brands for years. That is…until I discovered Credo. 😌

My Skeptical Start Down the Green Beauty Rabbit Hole

Picture me: frantically trying trendy products from Sephora that claim to be “free from” certain iffy ingredients, only to keep breaking out in itchy rashes! Not a good look before big work meetings!

I already read ingredient labels like a hawk, but it felt impossible to find something pure that worked. I’d end up defaulting back to my old chemicals-laden staples. Ugh!

Enter – Credo Beauty.

The first time I wandered into their pristine, white-marble flagship San Francisco store, I was instantly intrigued but honestly? Still a non-believer that truly clean cosmetics could ever compare to designer brands.

Boy was I wrong!

Now, over 2 years later, I credit Credo’s strict standards for leading me out of skin-chaos into the glowiest chapter yet. Skeptics, take notes and a seat because we’re diving into exactly how legit this company is.

What Even Makes Something “Clean” in Beauty? Only Credo Gets It Right

Here was my past perception: clean = beige, watery products wrapped in cardboard that never work well enough for women of color like myself.

Not so with Credo…and that motivated me to learn what really constitutes healthy, sustainable beauty.

This award-winning retailer co-founded back in 2015 by industry veterans Annie Jackson and Shashi Batra has become the ultimate one-stop for non-toxic cosmetics that are as luxe as they are safe.

Every single item at Credo meets their strict “Credo Clean Standard” and avoids using any suspicious ingredients listed on “The Dirty List” they officially created.

Some fascinating stats on what makes their standards the best:

• 130+ expertly vetted, clean skincare and makeup brands
• 90% of those brands are female or BIPOC founded
• 5000+ questionable ingredients researched through leading scientists and environmental health organizations
• 0 toxic chemicals linked to health issues make it onto shelves or their site

I don’t know about you, but that stringent attention to detail gives me peace of mind as a woman of color wanting both safety and vibrancy in her routine!

Let’s get into exactly why I make Credo my one-stop-shop after comparing them to popular Sephora clean lines…
