Haus Labs

Haus Labs has committed to avoid certain ingredients to lower its environmental impact, including parabens, phthalates, other petrochemical-based ingredients, PFAS, and harmful suncare ingredients. While it has these ingredient commitments, it still uses some ingredients that pose a significant threat to the climate, including microplastics, other petrochemical-based ingredients, uncertified palm oil or palm oil-derived ingredients, and uncertified mica.
