Culture Apothecary with Alex Clark · What They Put In Lip Gloss Is Banned From Food | Laura DiGirolamo, ESQ · 9 Jun 2026 podcast

So when you're putting something on your skin, that's what cosmetic grade addresses.

But in addition, we went a step above, even though it wasn't legally required, to make sure every single ingredient was food grade certified.

And what that means is that every ingredient in there has both a cosmetic regulation certificate and a food grade certificate so that if it accidentally goes into your body, it's food grade certified.

And we don't just use any standard.

We use EU standard.

What do you mean?

So if I tell the app, clean means this, this, this, this, this.

then your algorithm is testing safety based on topical safety.

Let's look at the data there.
