The Beauty Industry Has a Problem

Consumers are left in the dark about what's really in their products and who profits from their purchases.

⚠️

80,000 Chemicals

Over 80,000 chemicals are used in cosmetics with minimal regulation. Most have never been tested for long-term safety. Your skin absorbs it all.

❌ No requirement to list all ingredients

🎭

Greenwashing Epidemic

Brands claim "natural," "clean," and "eco-friendly" with zero verification. Misleading packaging and marketing make it impossible to know the truth.

❌ No standardized definitions

🐰

Hidden Animal Testing

Many "cruelty-free" brands are owned by parent companies that test on animals. Your purchase supports practices you're trying to avoid.

❌ Example: CeraVe owned by L'Oréal

73%

of consumers don't trust beauty brand claims

The Sage Standard

Three comprehensive scores that tell the complete story about your beauty products.

💧

Clean Score

What We Check:

  • ✓ Toxic chemicals & endocrine disruptors
  • ✓ Allergens & irritants
  • ✓ Carcinogens & mutagens
  • ✓ Pregnancy safety

Why it matters: Your skin absorbs 60% of what you put on it. We flag ingredients linked to health risks.

🌱

Green Score

Environmental Impact

What We Check:

  • ✓ Carbon footprint & energy use
  • ✓ Packaging sustainability
  • ✓ Palm oil & microplastics
  • ✓ Water usage & waste

🐰

Cruelty-Free

Ethical Practices

⚠️ Critical Issue: Parent Company

CeraVe is owned by L'Oréal, which sells products in mainland China where animal testing is required by law. While CeraVe itself may not test on animals, your purchase profits a company that allows testing.

❌ Not Leaping Bunny certified • ❌ Not PETA certified • ❌ Parent company tests in China
