Our Promise

Because we prioritize consumer trust, we rigorously examine each ingredient’s safety profile to ensure it meets our high standards and the standards put forth by global governmental, regulatory, and scientific bodies. Only then do they become part of the world-class formulations that people rely on every day. Read more about our ingredient safety and testing.

We have always believed that dialogue with our consumers on the ingredients we select benefits everyone, and we continually strive for ingredient transparency. Explore ELC’s corporate ingredient glossary.
