4.1 Glassdoor

Our Philosophy We are committed to using only ingredients that either directly benefit the health of the skin or support the integrity of our formulations. We never take into account whether something is synthetic or natural, instead choosing ingredients based on biocompatibility. The Suspicious 6We believe six ubiquitous ingredients are at the root of almost every skin issue we see––essential oils, drying alcohols, silicones, chemical sunscreens, fragrances/dyes, SLS––and when they're entirely removed from one’s routine (when you take a #drunkbreak🐘), skin can reset and return to a healthy, balanced state. That’s our ingredient-elimination philosophy for a total skin reset. Skincare “Smoothies”We think of our skincare routines as smoothies. They’re good for you, they’re easy to mix, and you can change up the recipe whenever you want. Plus, all of our products are biocompatible and bioavailable, which means they’re highly absorbable. Drunk Head to ToeSkin is skin—and whether we call it the scalp or the eye area or the legs, it can only function at its healthiest when it’s treated with smart, nourishing, biocompatible ingredients. So we decided to make a line of hair-care and body products that followed one simple idea: Respect the skin by only using ingredients it can get along with.
