For health. For pregnancy. For the planet. Forever.
What’s good for the environment is a pretty awesome indicator of what’s good for us humans. So, that’s the first filter we use in determining what’s safe in our skincare.
MULTI-TALENTED LIKE A MOTHER
We are obsessively selective about packaging and ingredients, including the raw materials used to make them. If it isn’t safe for mom, baby and the environment, it’s not in Syll.
Our principles guide our sourcing so we can make the best choices:
-Responsible farming practices
-Prioritize organic, zero-waste, upcycled and/or fair trade
-Cruelty-free, non-GMO
-Naturally derived and green lab technology
-Biodegradable
-No parfum/fragrance
-No ingredients that persist in the environment (e.g. synthetic polymers, silicones, EDTA)
-No inputs that raise health or environmental concerns (e.g. petroleum derivatives, micro or nano plastics, ethoxylates, phthalates, PFAS).
We believe the North Star for our industry should be the elimination of ingredients and raw materials that are harmful to consumers, communities or the planet.
Surprise! There's no standard for “Pregnancy-safe.”
Knowing what’s safe and appropriate to use while pregnant is…complicated. There are no universal regulations or certifications, which means every mom has to decide for herself who and what to trust.
SYLL BOTANICS® MINIMIZES THE COMPLEXITY OF THIS MAXIMALLY CONFUSING TOPIC.
OPTIMIZED BY EXPERTS
We have spent thousands of hours reviewing studies and consulting with professionals to prioritize safety and make moms’ lives easier. Syll Botanics®—and doctors, nurse midwives, scientists, herbalists and aromatherapists—have your back. And belly.
SENSITIVE TO SENSITIVITY
During pregnancy and as hormones fluctuate postpartum or later in life, skin is more sensitive to pretty much everything, including sunlight. We consciously design non-photosensitizing formulas that are highly efficacious yet excellent for anyone with sensitive skin.
CARE-FULL
In addition to our strict human and environmental safety standards noted above, we err on the side of caution by avoiding ingredients that may raise health concerns (or be more likely to irritate) while pregnant, nursing or trying to conceive. This includes retinoids, hydroquinone derivatives, parabens, formaldehydes, strong acids, strong scents and essential oils or artificial colors.
LESS & LOVING IT
Using less skincare is not only practical but sustainable, too. We help moms minimize their exposure to undesirable chemicals or skin damage from layering too many products. Instead, we minimize the number of products needed to create an efficacious, enjoyable and manageable skincare routine. We choose safe, gentle, plant-based ingredients that produce amazing results when used in optimal amounts. All while reducing waste by eliminating unnecessary products.
FUTURE-GENERATIONS SAFE
From mother to child. From our environment to our bodies. From now to the future. At Syll, sustainability is more than a buzzword. It’s an opportunity to meet our needs without compromising the ability of future generations to meet theirs. That’s why we intentionally create products and practices that pass only positive things from one generation to the next.
