What Does “Natural Ingredients” Mean at Formulary 55?

At Formulary 55, we believe that self-care should be a luxurious experience, free from unnecessary chemicals and artificial additives. That’s why we’re committed to using only natural ingredients in our products. But what does that really mean, and why should you care? Let’s take a closer look at what we mean when we say “natural ingredients,” and why this matters for you.

The Essence of Botanical Fragrances

One of the key elements of our products is the use of botanical fragrances. These are derived from plants, flowers, and herbs, offering a more authentic and complex scent profile than synthetic fragrances. Not only do botanical fragrances smell more natural and sophisticated, but they also carry the therapeutic benefits of the plants they come from. Whether it’s the calming effect of lavender or the invigorating scent of citrus, our fragrances are designed to enhance your self-care experience, naturally.

Why We Avoid Phthalates, Parabens, and SLS

• No Phthalates: Phthalates are commonly used in synthetic fragrances to help them last longer. However, they’ve been linked to various health concerns, including hormone disruption. By avoiding phthalates, we ensure that our products are safer for you and your family without compromising on fragrance quality.

• No Parabens: Parabens are preservatives found in many skincare products, but they can mimic estrogen in the body, potentially leading to hormone imbalances. We steer clear of parabens, choosing instead natural alternatives that preserve product freshness without the risk.

• No SLS (Sodium Lauryl Sulfate): SLS is a detergent and surfactant used in many soaps and shampoos to create lather. While it’s effective at cleaning, it can also strip your skin of natural oils, leading to dryness and irritation. Our products are SLS-free, meaning they cleanse gently without sacrificing your skin’s natural moisture barrier.

Natural Ingredients Without Sacrificing Quality

You might wonder, “Does using natural ingredients mean compromising on quality?” Absolutely not. In fact, we believe that using natural ingredients enhances the quality of our products. By avoiding synthetic chemicals and harsh additives, we create formulations that are not only effective but also gentle on your skin and the environment. Our products are designed to nourish, protect, and pamper your skin, giving you all the benefits of high-quality skincare without the downsides of synthetic ingredients.

Why It Matters to You

Choosing products with natural ingredients isn’t just about following a trend—it’s about making a choice that benefits your well-being. By opting for products free from phthalates, parabens, and SLS, you’re choosing to care for your skin with ingredients that are safer, gentler, and more in tune with nature. You’re also supporting a brand that prioritizes sustainability and ethical production practices.

At Formulary 55, we’re proud to offer you luxurious, natural products that don’t compromise on quality or safety. Whether you’re indulging in one of our natural botanical-scented shea butter soaps, moisturizing with our nourishing natural hand creme, or relaxing with a soothing natural fizzy bath bomb tablet, you can trust that you’re treating yourself to the very best nature has to offer.
