To deliver the highest standards in beauty, Credo Beauty has created The Credo Beauty Council. 

This council will be a cornerstone in maintaining Credo Beauty’s leadership in the clean beauty industry, exceeding the expectations of consumers and stakeholders, and pushing the industry forward.

The Council will provide expert advice to Credo Beauty to help Credo Beauty uphold its retail standards and transparency efforts across all product categories. 

The Council will help evaluate and speak to Credo Beauty’s mission pillars (product, people, packaging, plant), and advise on safety and sustainability practices, all to maintain the integrity and efficacy of products and services that meet Credo Beauty’s The Clean Standard. 

The Clean Beauty Council will be a major resource to our brand community, such as during brand consortium calls and as a lifeline for industry questions.
