Credo Beauty makes shopping for nontoxic cosmetics fun and easy. At their eight locations and online, the beauty retailer only stocks products that meet their strict ingredient standards. While Credo places an emphasis on natural materials, the skincare and makeup products they sell are also effective and beautiful.
Before I got on board with safe cosmetics, I bought my beauty stocking stuffers and luxurious skincare gifts at Sephora. Now I go to Credo, because I know they have higher standards on all products. Here are the best gifts from Credo Beauty that I’m adding to my shopping list this year. They all get safe ratings from the Environmental Working Group (EWG) and are among Credo’s best-rated items.
