GAIA SKIN NATURALS ARE COMMITTED TO PROVIDING HIGH-QUALITY INGREDIENTS THAT ARE MADE WITHOUT CRUELTY TO ANIMALS.
GAIA Skin Naturals are Choose Cruelty Free Accredited (CCF) ensuring you of our commitment to respecting all forms of life. Choose Cruelty Free is a non-profit organisation that promotes cruelty-free living. All CCF work is performed by volunteers who believe in a cruelty-free lifestyle.
Encourage manufacturers and service providers to adopt a cruelty-free ethic.
Survey companies which claim to sell products that not been tested on animals and do not contain cruelly-derived ingredients and accredit (without charging a fee) companies which satisfy the CCF’s criteria.
Make available (by way of a licensing arrangement) an independent, consumer recognised logo which manufacturers can incorporate in their labeling and advertising material to readily identify their companies as cruelty-free.
Criteria for accreditation as a cruelty-free company is the most stringent in the world.

Is a by-product of soap making. A natural ‘humectant’, meaning it attracts moisture to your skin, it also smoothes the skin’s surface. The glycerin GAIA uses is derived from vegetable oil not from animal fat.
GAIA uses Lactic Acid derived from plant sources not animal sources or animal by-products to moisturise as well as naturally exfoliate, refine and clear skin. It helps to balance the skin’s pH levels.
GAIA uses only plant based proteins from wheat or oats. Unlike other baby products, we do not use silk protein because silk protein is made by boiling silkworms alive in their cocoons to stop them from ‘ruining’ the silk fibres when they are ready to hatch….
