The power of nature: we respect nature’s guiding forces as a source of many creations, especially when it comes to its ‘fruits’ of labor. At 100% PURE, we understand that whether it’s plant, flower, or fruit-inspired, we get a bountiful harvest of natural skincare ingredients. It’s the very foundation upon which all our products are created.
In fact, it’s the very core upon which many consumers are taking care of their skin using nature-powered skincare. This transition is a response to the concerns surrounding the use of harsh chemicals and synthetic ingredients present in conventional skincare items. This skin-olution speaks volumes about a collective desire to embrace products that are as good for the earth as they are for our skin.
At 100% PURE, we couldn’t agree more with this ‘from the earth to your skin’ ideology, which is why our products truly harness nature’s fruits of labor - they’re so pure, they’re practically good enough to eat! Join us to learn the organic beauty benefits of nature-powered skincare and how 100% PURE harnesses the power of nature to provide clean, effective, and ethical skincare solutions.
Our Journey to Purity
The natural skincare product market has undergone a fascinating evolution over time, shaped by the intersections of ancient traditions, natural ingredients, and wisdom with modern science. To bring this philosophy to life, let's delve into 100% PURE’s journey to purity with nature-powered skincare into the progressive and exciting beauty realm it is today.
The founding of 100% PURE in 2004 emerged from the findings of dozens of unsafe chemicals being used to formulate many conventional cosmetics and skincare products. These harsh formulations were not only unsafe for the skin, they were often being tested on animals. After these unsettling experiences, 100% PURE launched in the hopes that they could support and nurture an authentic skin pureness ideal through a line of natural beauty products: one that could grow, evolve, withstand the test of time – and be healthy for the sake of skin and overall health.
Instead of choosing synthetic ingredients that might be cheaper or more readily available, all the 100% PURE formulas remain pure by simplifying the process. The brand’s ethos: Start in nature, discover what grows, and create the healthiest formulations with the purest ingredients with naturally occurring organic beauty benefits. So, what requires the least amount of alteration? The brand finds that the ingredients that fit these standards are the purest ingredients for skincare and cosmetics products.
Our journey to purity begins with a meticulous selection of ingredients. Understanding that the purity and effectiveness of our products are paramount, we refuse to settle for anything less than the best. Each ingredient is carefully chosen based on its natural origin, potency, and compatibility with our body's chemistry. Our standards go beyond just being 'natural' – we demand that our ingredients contribute positively to both your health and the environment.
We emphasize transparency in our ingredient sourcing, partnering with suppliers who share our vision and values of sustainability and ethical sourcing. This means prioritizing organic, non-GMO, and cruelty-free components that are harvested with respect for the earth and its inhabitants. Our refusal to compromise on quality ensures that every product we offer is not only effective but also genuinely beneficial for your skin and overall well-being. This is where our innovation meets integrity in skincare, and championing our consumer's skin and health through the purest, healthiest, and science-backed products for the skin.

Why Natural Ingredients Matter
The skincare aisle brims with an array of conventional products promising miracles, yet lurking beneath the surface are potential hazards. These formulas, often laden with harmful ingredients, raise concerns about their impact on skin health and overall well-being.
Conventional skincare products may contain synthetic chemicals such as parabens, phthalates, and sulfates, which have been linked to various health concerns. Natural skincare eliminates or significantly reduces exposure to these potentially harmful substances. This is particularly important because the skin is the body's largest organ, and what we apply to it can be absorbed into the bloodstream. It’s important to avoid these harmful chemicals and toxins for the sake of your skin and health.
We understand that most skin types, especially those with sensitive skin, for many years often struggled to find suitable skincare products that were effective and didn’t have adverse skin irritations or allergic reactions. But as more people become conscious of what they put on their skin, the use of natural skincare went on an upsurge, and rightfully so.
Today, people from all walks of life are embracing the idea of taking care of their skin using products that harness the power of nature. So, what's behind this growing popularity, and why are people making the switch? Below are some of the benefits of natural ingredients for skin health:
#1. Increased awareness about the potentially harmful effects of synthetic chemicals and toxins found in conventional skincare products.
#2. The desire for safer and more sustainable skincare that prioritizes natural ingredients tailored to skin type and concerns.
#3. Growing demand for cruelty-free and vegan products, aligning with ethical and environmental values.
#4. Natural ingredients are known for their potential benefits, such as soothing, hydrating, and anti-aging properties.
#5. Natural skincare often focuses on holistic wellness, considering overall health and balance, instead of toxic ingredients that can affect not only skin, but overall health.
#6. The absence of synthetic ingredients ensures that natural skincare products are non-toxic and environmentally friendly.
#7. Natural, plant-based ingredients are believed to work in harmony with the skin's natural functions, promoting a healthier and more radiant complexion.
At the intersection of nature’s finest ingredients and 100% PURE’s product formulation is our philosophy that skincare should be a harmonious fusion of natural ingredient traditions and modern science - a skin remedy as timeless as it is transformative. Combining the best of both worlds makes the transformative potential of incorporating nature-infused routines into daily skincare practices one BIG skin win – and why natural ingredients really matter.
How We Harness Nature’s Power
In the quest for harnessing nature’s power for skincare, the ingredients we choose to put on our skin matter immensely—not just for our skin, but the science behind their safety and effectiveness for our health.
At the heart of 100% PURE's philosophy lies a commitment to sourcing ingredients that are not only potent and effective backed by science, but they’re also pure and sustainably harvested. This careful selection process ensures that every component naturally derived from the earth is beneficial for both our skin and the environment.
Step 1: Sourcing the Best Ingredients
Our skincare range harnesses the power of nature's finest ingredients to deliver transformative results for all skin types. Here are some core natural ingredients found in our formulations, each with unique benefits, with ethical and sustainable sourcing that contribute to the versatility and effectiveness of our products:
Organic Aloe Vera: Known for its soothing and healing properties, organic aloe vera is a cornerstone for skin hydration and repair. Research has also shown that aloe vera boosts collagen and elastin fibers, making the skin firmer and smoother. Cultivated sustainably, organic aloe not only supports healthy skin but also encourages eco-friendly farming practices, contributing to the preservation of natural habitats.
Rosehip Oil: Known for its fatty acids and vitamin A content, rosehip oil facilitates skin cell regeneration for plumper, smoother, more hydrated skin. This lightweight oil behaves similarly to our skin’s natural oil, meaning it sinks in easily and is relatively “dry” to the touch shortly after application.
Rosehip oil is also beneficial for lessening the signs of aging such as dark spots and hyperpigmentation, and can help to boost skin elasticity and reduce the appearance of stretch marks and scars. Studies have shown that rosehip oil can improve dryness and balance the skin’s protective barrier.
Olive Squalane: A standout ingredient, olive squalane is easily absorbed by the skin and mirrors the moisturizing properties of the traditionally used shark-derived squalene but without cruelty and environmental detriment. Sourced from olives, this ingredient is a testament to the power of plant-based alternatives in delivering high-performance skincare while respecting our planet’s biodiversity.
Green Tea: As a natural skin defender from harsh UV rays and environmental pollutants, green tea is a skin healer, too! Sourced from the camellia tea plant from the most holistically and responsibly organic farming practices, the super leaf’s soothing powers calm inflammation like a gentle breeze, giving your skin peace and calmness. Green tea's essence works its magic in skincare products, turning them into pure enchantment.
Step 2: Innovative Formulation Techniques
Our commitment extends beyond the sourcing of natural ingredients that meet the highest standards of purity and efficacy.
Our unwavering standards and science-backed formulations, ensuring potency and purity, are the foundation of 100% PURE. Each ingredient is carefully chosen based on its natural origin, potency, and compatibility with our body's chemistry. Our standards go beyond just being 'natural' – we demand that our ingredients contribute positively to both your skin and your health. This is where 100% PURE’s rigorous role of scientific research assures the purity, efficacy, and safety of our products.
We emphasize transparency in our ingredient sourcing, partnering with suppliers who share our vision of sustainability and ethical responsibility. This means prioritizing organic, non-GMO, and cruelty-free components that are harvested with respect for our consumers and the planet. Our refusal to compromise on quality ensures that every product we offer is not only effective but also genuinely beneficial for your skin and overall well-being.
Step 3: Rigorous Testing for Safety and Efficacy
Our skincare range harnesses the power of nature's finest ingredients to deliver safe and effective results for all skin types. We opt for ingredients that are sustainably harvested, ensuring that our products are not only effective but also cruelty-free and environmentally friendly. Every ingredient is scrutinized using a rigorous and meticulous 9-Step Testing Process to make sure we are creating the safest, and most effective products for you, your health, and the environment. It’s our commitment to cruelty-free testing and ensuring product safety.
We start by making sure that the ingredients we use are free of synthetics, chemical pesticides, herbicides, and fertilizers. After combining ingredients, we test for the ingredients’ stability to avoid negative chemical reactions. Once we’ve made sure the ingredients safely blend, we look at its efficacy to see whether its product accomplishes what it says it will do and whether the right percentage of active ingredients are performing as they’re supposed to.
As for efficacy in our skincare? At 100% PURE, the significance of understanding chemical structures in formulating synergistic blends amplifies the benefits of a beauty formula and it avoids potential harm. This means formulating is not as simple as mixing a group of ingredients like you might get away with in chemistry class. Mastering chemical structures in formulas at 100% PURE is a skin-necessity for the most effective products – and science- and safety-backed purity!
Step 4: Environmentally-Friendly Packaging
At 100% PURE, sustainability and ethical practices are at the core of our brand ethos. Our commitment to a more sustainable future drives every aspect of our development and production processes for the universal skincare line. We prioritize environmentally friendly packaging, opting for biodegradable materials and post-consumer recycled packaging to minimize our carbon and environmental impact.
Our commitment extends beyond what's inside the bottle. We recognize the significant impact packaging has on the planet, which is why we've invested in developing and utilizing packaging solutions that are as eco-friendly as our products. From biodegradable materials to recyclable containers, our approach is designed to minimize waste and reduce our carbon footprint.
We are continually exploring innovative packaging technologies that align with our environmental values. This includes using plant-based plastics, glass, and other materials that can be reused or recycled, thus contributing to a circular economy. Our packaging choices are a testament to our belief that it is possible to provide high-quality products without sacrificing the health of our planet.
In addition to our packaging initiatives, we conduct cruelty-free testing and utilize clean, responsibly sourced ingredients in all our formulations. Our biodegradable formulas ensure that our products are non-toxic and safe for the planet's delicate ecosystems.

Our endeavors not only embody our dedication to producing the healthiest skincare line but also our resolve to contribute positively to community and environmental initiatives, as well as to environmental preservation and social well-being.
Partnerships with Environmental Organizations
One of our cornerstone approaches to supporting global sustainability efforts is through strategic partnerships with environmental organizations. By aligning with groups that share our mission, we amplify our impact and contribute to larger, more significant environmental projects. A notable collaboration is with the Rainforest Foundation, where we work together to protect rainforests around the globe, safeguarding the immense biodiversity within and ensuring the rights and well-being of indigenous communities.

Specific Projects and Contributions
A highlight of our sustainability efforts is the "Clean Water Project," launched in partnership with Water.org. Through this initiative, we've funded the construction of wells and water sanitation facilities in rural communities lacking access to clean water. This project not only provides immediate health benefits but also supports sustainable development by freeing up time and resources previously devoted to water collection, which can now be directed towards education and economic activities.
Our "Beauty Without Borders" program has enabled us to extend our reach to communities affected by natural disasters. By providing hygiene kits and skincare products, we aim to offer a sense of normalcy and self-care during times of crisis. This program exemplifies our belief in the power of beauty as a force for good, uplifting spirits, and fostering resilience in the face of adversity.
Animal Welfare
Our commitment to animal welfare means that we will never, EVER test on animals – and that our products will always be certified cruelty-free. When it comes to our ingredients we go through a painstaking process to avoid animal-sourced ingredients and opt for vegan, cruelty-free alternatives.
Moreover, our conscious business practices extend beyond product development. We support global and local communities through partnerships with organizations promoting health, wellness, and environmental conservation.
