Ingredients and formulations

95 to 100% natural ingredients

Our main commitment is to caring for your skin and the environment, safely and consciously, which is why our formulas are 100% free of harmful ingredients.

How do we select our ingredients?

At TEIA, we choose every ingredient with intention. We prioritize naturally derived, biodegradable active ingredients with proven skin benefits. Our "Never List" guides this process, excluding ingredients like silicones, talc, synthetic fragrances, and artificial colors that provide no real value or pose a risk.

Each formula is based on a specific skin need, and we design it to strike a balance between effectiveness, sensoriality, and environmental friendliness. We collaborate with suppliers committed to the quality and traceability of each raw material.

Plant extracts concentrate the best of nature, offering antioxidants and essential nutrients that revitalize and protect the skin from external aggressions. In TEIA you will find witch hazel extract, white willow, ginko biloba, roses, strawberries, cucumber and more

These natural proteins improve the elasticity and firmness of the skin, promoting a rejuvenated and resistant appearance.

Vegetable oils deeply hydrate, repair the skin barrier and provide vitamins and essential fatty acids, achieving a radiant and nourished face. At TEIA you will find argan oil, jojoba, avocado, essential oils such as tea tree, lavender.

Starches in skincare offer mattifying and smoothing properties, helping to control excess oil and providing a silky finish to the touch. They are an excellent substitute for talcum powder.

These natural filters reflect harmful UV rays, offering effective sun protection without aggressive chemicals, caring for your skin while protecting it from the sun.

Vegetable surfactants gently cleanse, respecting the skin's natural balance. Derived from botanical sources, these cleansing agents ensure gentle purification without stripping the skin of its essential oils, leaving it fresh and without a feeling of tightness.

We use biodegradable and natural substitutes instead of silicones and quaternary conditioners that are highly polluting.

100% free of harmful ingredients

They can cause irritation or allergic reactions in sensitive skin. They are related to endocrine disorders.

They can accumulate on the skin and hair, preventing them from breathing properly, but also because of their environmental impact. Silicones take a long time to break down, contributing to long-lasting waste problems

Although they are popular in the cosmetics industry for their texture and barrier qualities, they can clog pores and offer no real nutritional benefits to the skin. Furthermore, its extraction and processing have a high environmental impact.

Many of these can cause irritations, allergic reactions, and have even been linked to long-term health problems. Some examples are phenoxyethanol and parabens.

Talc has been the subject of significant concerns in recent years. One of the main problems is possible contamination with asbestos, a substance known to be carcinogenic. Since talc and asbestos can form under the same geological conditions, there is a risk that mined talc will be contaminated with asbestos.

Sulfates are known for their ability to produce foam. However, they can also be aggressive to the skin, stripping it of its natural oils and causing dryness or irritation. In addition, its constant use can cause imbalances in the scalp and hair.

Quality and safety in our formulations

Before launching a new product, we perform a series of tests to ensure its stability, efficacy, and safety on skin:

  • We subject formulas to extreme temperature and humidity conditions to verify their performance over time.
  • We evaluated skin tolerance with volunteer panelists.
  • We confirm that the formula is free of harmful microorganisms and that the preservatives are functioning properly.
  • For products containing sunscreens, we work with certified laboratories that conduct external studies using internationally recognized methods.

These tests, both internal and in collaboration with specialized laboratories, ensure that every product you receive is reliable, stable, and safe.

Frequently asked questions about ingredients and products

Yes, but only those strictly necessary. Our formulas prioritize natural ingredients, but we also use some safe and biodegradable synthetic ingredients when they provide stability or efficacy. We always avoid silicones, synthetic fragrances, talc, and other ingredients we consider unnecessary or harsh.

This means that, after being used and disposed of, they can decompose in nature without leaving toxic residues. At TEIA, 100% of our ingredients are biodegradable, minimizing their impact on rivers, oceans, and soils.

At TEIA, we formulate with all skin types in mind. We avoid ingredients known to cause irritation, such as synthetic perfumes, silicones, harsh alcohols, and talc. We also conduct skin compatibility testing on individuals to ensure our formulas are well-tolerated. That said, we know that every skin is unique. In cases of highly reactive skin, what works for one person may not work for another. That's why we always recommend patch testing a small area before applying the product completely, especially if you have a history of sensitivity.
