Our products are CLEAN + KIND + VEGAN …
In simple terms, CLEAN beauty products are those which are made without certain ingredients, that have been shown to harm human health.
At SugarBaby, CLEAN beauty means putting the health of our consumers and the performance of our products at the forefront of everything we do. When formulating our products, we follow strict brand technical guidelines (our product ethos), so that we always ensure that we use ingredients that are safe for you, your skin, and the earth, whilst also ensuring that they are effective and efficacious.
We are committed to creating safe products that deliver real results. Clean products are free of ingredients that link to harmful health effects.
Our commitment goes further in that we care for the environment and will always choose ingredients that are not only safe for you, but that are ethically sourced, cruelty-free, and contain no animal products. In addition to our carefully considered product formulations, we ensure that our product packaging is minimal, can be recycled or reused, or contain post-consumer recycled plastic.
To assist you in recycling your packaging properly, SugarBaby products are all labelled accordingly to the Australian Recycling Label program (ARL).
Clean vs Natural/Organic
It is often assumed that CLEAN beauty products go in the same basket as ‘natural, ‘organic’, and green, and often they do, however, they’re not always mutually exclusive.
CLEAN beauty doesn’t necessarily mean they have to be organic or natural, there are man-made products that are safe and effective in combating skincare concerns.

The ingredients, their source and legacy matters when it comes to what we put into SugarBaby and how we package it. And sometimes, what we leave out is just as important to us as to what we worked so hard to include.

If you’re looking to be more mindful of using non-sensitising ingredients on your skin, below are some harmful ingredients to avoid and that aren’t included in SugarBaby products:
SugarBaby products contains No Parabens, No Phthalates, No Mineral Oil, No Formaldehyde, No Sulphates, No Synthetic Fragrances, + No Animal Ingredients.
What are these ingredients, and why are they harmful?
Parabens:
Parabens are a group of chemicals widely used as artificial preservatives in beauty care products since the 1920s. Parabens are added to prevent and reduce the growth of harmful bacteria and mould, increasing the shelf life of the product. The greatest concern with parabens is that they are known to disrupt hormone function.
Synthetic fragrances:
Synthetic fragrances can cause irritation to sensitive skin. Products with no fragrance or a natural organic fragrance is safe for sensitive skin.
Phthalates:
Help fragrances last longer and are a group of chemicals used to keep materials and products pliable. Phthalates have been linked to reproductive and hormonal harm in children and men.
Formaldehyde:
Commonly used as a preservative to prolong shelf life and prevent bacterial contamination. Formaldehyde in cosmetics is widely understood to cause allergic skin reactions, as well as redness, itching, and scaling of the skin.
Sulphates:
Sulphates are an incredibly popular cosmetic ingredient, with the main use of creating a lather to remove dirt and oil. Sulphates can cause skin irritation and allergic reactions, especially if you have sensitive skin. Despite their ability to cut through oil, they can also clog pores making skin prone to acne.
