SHEGLAM is committed to providing consumers with high-quality makeup and self-care products that prioritize safety, ethical practices, and transparency. The brand adheres to stringent global standards and goes the extra mile to ensure its formulations are free from potentially harmful ingredients.
Commitment to Cruelty-Free Practices
SHEGLAM products are proudly 100% cruelty-free, with a steadfast commitment to not testing on animals. All cosmetic and care products from SHEGLAM are approved through the globally recognized Cruelty Free International Leaping Bunny Programme. This program is spearheaded by Cruelty Free International, an organization dedicated to ending animal experiments worldwide. Founded over a century ago, Cruelty Free International has a long history of protecting animals from laboratory suffering. In 2022, SHEGLAM received the official Leaping Bunny Approval, affirming its dedication to excluding animal testing at every stage of product development.
Formulations Free from Harmful Ingredients
A cornerstone of SHEGLAM's safety commitment is its rigorous approach to ingredient selection. The brand prides itself on offering high-quality makeup products that are devoid of over 1,700 potentially harmful ingredients. Furthermore, over 90% of SHEGLAM's products are vegan. Vegan cosmetics are formulated without any animal-derived ingredients or by-products, such as eggs, honey, milk, collagen, beeswax, gelatin, and carmine. Instead, these products utilize synthetic or plant-based alternatives. To ensure consumers can make informed choices, SHEGLAM clearly lists ingredients on its product description pages, and indicates if a product is vegan in the "about" section.
Adherence to Regulatory Standards and FDA Compliance
SHEGLAM places a significant emphasis on consumer safety, formulating products free of carcinogens and toxic substances. The brand operates in compliance with the standards set by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), a key regulatory body that ensures cosmetics are safe for consumer use, do not make false claims, and are accurately labeled. SHEGLAM diligently works to ensure that all products are properly labeled and accurately promoted before being marketed. Full ingredient lists are provided on every SHEGLAM product description page and on the product packaging itself. By excluding over 1,700 potentially unsafe ingredients, SHEGLAM aims to provide consumers with maximum peace of mind.
Skin Safety and Allergen Information
While SHEGLAM formulates its products to be safe, it is important to acknowledge that individual skin sensitivities vary. Each person may react differently to specific ingredients. SHEGLAM products are formulated without carcinogenic substances or toxic materials, and exclude over 1,700 potentially unsafe ingredients. To further guarantee safety and quality, each SHEGLAM product undergoes rigorous third-party inspections by trusted organizations such as SGS and Intertek. By adhering to quality standards set by regulatory bodies including the FDA, EU Cosmetic Products Regulation (EUCR), GCC Standardization Organization (GSO), Mexican Official Standard, and General Health Law (GHL), SHEGLAM is confident in supplying safe makeup and self-care commodities.
All SHEGLAM products undergo quality testing before launch. However, due to the diverse nature of skin sensitivities, reactions to certain ingredients are still possible. Allergies are individual, and even common ingredients may cause reactions in some people. For transparency, consumers can review the complete ingredient lists for any SHEGLAM product on SHEGLAM.com by searching for the product name. This allows consumers to check ingredients if they have specific concerns about potential allergens.
Transparency Regarding Sulfates and Parabens
Many of SHEGLAM's cosmetics are formulated to be paraben-free. Parabens are synthetic preservatives used in personal care products and cosmetics to prevent bacterial growth and extend shelf life. Less than 2% of SHEGLAM's products contain parabens or sulfates, and these are included only to ensure optimal performance. While some SHEGLAM products do contain sulfates, each undergoes strict quality testing to meet global cosmetic safety regulations before launch. For complete transparency, all ingredient lists are readily available on the SHEGLAM website, and consumers are encouraged to consult these lists if they have any concerns.
SHEGLAM's "Clean Beauty" Philosophy
Clean beauty emphasizes the creation of safe, ethical products that protect consumers, animals, and the environment. While the definition is not strictly official, it generally encompasses being cruelty-free and free from harmful chemicals. SHEGLAM aligns with these principles by meeting rigorous FDA and EUCR standards, conducting third-party inspections, and prioritizing cruelty-free practices. The brand goes a step further by excluding 1,700 harmful ingredients and proactively banning over 40 controversial ones, continuously updating its list to surpass clean beauty expectations. SHEGLAM is committed to achieving 'Next-Level Clean' status by 2025, aiming to set a new benchmark in the clean beauty industry.
Product Shelf Life and Expiration
SHEGLAM guarantees that all products undergo strict quality testing before launch, meeting global cosmetic safety regulations, including FDA standards and EU Cosmetic Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009). The brand makes every effort to produce high-quality products, ensuring all ingredients are cruelty-free and safe for skin. Most SHEGLAM products are tested to have a shelf life of at least three years when unopened, maintaining their integrity and performance. A "PAO" (Period After Opening) symbol indicates how long a product is safe to use after opening without causing harm. If any changes in smell, consistency, or other issues are noticed within the PAO period, consumers are advised to contact SHEGLAM. For products with a minimum durability of 30 months or less, an expiration date is printed directly on the packaging.
Product Capacity Information
The liquid amount or capacity of each SHEGLAM product can be found on the product packaging.
