Ceramides are essential building blocks to having strong and resilient skin. Now that there are advanced technologies in vegan plant based phytoceramides DEW skincare offers the same replenishment without animal or petroleum derived ingredients. It was important to us to keep all the benefits of traditional ceramides—such as strengthening the skin barrier, locking in moisture, and enhancing skin resilience—without the animal or unsustainable sourcing. Based from plants our we are able to support vegan, cruelty-free, and petrol free but suitable for all skin types. They are the perfect example of how modern skincare can be both effective and aligned with the values of a conscientious consumer.
The Los Angeles wildfires have burned over 35,000 acres, destroying 10,000 structures and displacing thousands. With at least 10 fatalities and economic losses exceeding $135 billion, containment remains challenging due to strong winds and dry conditions.

Many are not aware of why some processes are clean but ethoxylation seems to be a mystery to most consumers. We dive into the most common materials made with ethylene oxide reactions and why they pose a health risk by over exposure to 1,4 dioxane.
