We’re so proud that our message about sustainability is resonating with people across the world.

Squalane deeply hydrates the delicate skin under the eyes and calms inflammation.

Bronze Winner: Best Organic Eye Product Bold Lash Vegan Mascara

The Bold Lash Mascara strengthens and volumises the lashes without clumping or smudging. The best vegan mascara, it’s made with 100% plant-derived ingredients, so it’s ideal for those with sensitive eyes.
