One of the best things about beauty? There’s a little something for everyone.

What Does Clean at IPSY Mean for Me?

When you view a product on IPSY.com or on the IPSY app, you’ll be able to find information on whether it’s clean, vegan, or cruelty-free. For clean products, you’ll see an icon (look for a little green leaf!) that tells you it meets the Clean at IPSY standard. Vegan and cruelty-free products will be described as such in their descriptions. This makes it easier than ever to find products that fit your beauty ethos—especially because we’ll continue to bring you the best in clean beauty at an incredible value.

What Do Clean, Vegan, and Cruelty-Free Mean at IPSY?

  • Clean

A “clean” label highlights that a product meets our thoughtful, science-backed clean guidelines and excludes over 1,800 potentially harmful ingredients. We like to think of this label as one that empowers you with the knowledge to make mindful choices that help both people and planet.

  • Vegan

“Vegan” means that a product has been made without animal-derived ingredients and without ingredients made by animals. An example of an animal-derived ingredient is carmine, a commonly used bright-red pigment that comes from beetles. An ingredient made by animals is beeswax, which often appears in lip balm formulations. 

  • Cruelty-free

When you see a product labeled as “cruelty-free” at IPSY, you’ll know that the final product was not tested on animals. Because products that are kind to our furry friends are ones we can all feel good using.
