We began by looking at beauty differently, seeing our world as a precious resource rather than something to be exploited. And so we set out on a journey to fuse the power of nature with the potency of science to bring a new skincare vision to life.

 

Along the way we learned new things about ourselves and found answers to questions we never thought to ask, gaining strength in the knowledge that our outer beauty is a reflection of our inner well-being. Our holistic approach extends beyond ourselves in order to give back to nature. Because only in sharing the gift of renewal are we able to continue our journey of discovery. Never Stop DiscoveringTM

POWERED BY NATURE. PROVEN BY SCIENCE.


For over 30 years, we’ve pioneered advancements in active natural skincare using our unmatched expertise in plant science and skin biology

 

We identify nature’s high performing, sustainable plant, earth and sea-based ingredients, screening over 500 each year for skin-compatibility and bioactivity. Using breakthrough technologies, we unleash each ingredient’s full potential to create formulas that are simply transformative.

 

Our development cycle is rigorous and it takes over two years to develop a product. We refine formula after formula with one goal: To create uncompromising skincare that’s clinically-proven to deliver immediate and long-term improvements without any irritation.

Formulated for Well-Being


Our clean* formulas are consciously formulated for well-being. We don’t use parabens, phthalates, propylene glycol, formaldehyde, sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS), mineral oil, petrolatum, paraffin, diethanolamine (DEA), polyethylene beads & animal ingredients (except cruelty free honey & beeswax). And our formulas are 100% Vegetarian.

 

*At Origins, “Clean” means that we extensively research and evaluate our ingredients for purity, efficacy and safety. And we continue to take steps to improve how we take care of the earth—from using manufacturing processes that help reduce our impact on the environment, to planting trees worldwide.
