Since our founding in 1874, Marcelle has been about formulating products with only what skin needs - leaving out unnecessary or harmful ingredients like fragrance and allergens. While it wasn't called "clean beauty" at the time, it was always our guiding principle - that our formulas should only contain ingredients that are tried and tested to be effective and safe for skin. We are glad to see this principle gain more and more prominence among beauty users and beauty brands under the "clean beauty" banner, though what clean actually means has been somewhat lost in the process. So, we decided to go ahead and list out in detail what clean means for us. 

While not all of our products meet our clean standard yet, they all abide by our  founding and most important commitment to offering only hypoallergenic and fragrance-free products. All our products are rigorously tested for safety so you can be confident and secure when using them. Still, we will continually to revisit our formulas (and our clean definition) to make sure they keep up with the latest scientific knowledge and of course with the needs of our dedicated beauty and skincare lovers. We are dedicated to ensuring that our rigorous quality and safety standards respect or exceed Health Canada’s regulatory norms.

In addition to formulating clean products, we are committed to give you cruelty-free products, a large quantity of skin care and makeup testes by dermatologists and safe for sensitive skin.
