FAQs

Yes! Activist Skincare is designed with sensitive skin in mind. Our formulas are free from synthetic fragrances, harsh sulfates, and common irritants, focusing instead on gentle, high-performance actives that support your skin barrier.

However, we always recommend you try a sample or Trial Kit before committing to full-size.

Your skin’s comfort comes first — effective skincare shouldn’t come at the cost of irritation.

Yes, you can use all Activist products around your eyes, but of course, be careful to avoid getting them in your eyes.

Our cleansers are wonderful for eye makeup removal, but please note that getting oil in your eyes will naturally create an oily film and may sting until your tears wash it away, so go slowly and carefully.

We also encourage you to carefully use our toning mist, serum and face oil in the eye area, as the skin there benefits from our effective active ingredients.

We use preservatives that are nontoxic to people and the planet, yet effective against microbes like bacteria, mold and yeast.

Our preservatives are rated 1 by the Environmental Working Group for safety to our bodies and environment, and we've third-party challenge tested our formulas to make sure that our preservative systems are strong enough to do the job.

For more Information, please read our blog post about preservatives.

Yes, Activist Skincare is free of known endocrine disruptors. We carefully select ingredients that are both effective and safe, avoiding substances like parabens, phthalates, and synthetic fragrances that have been linked to hormone disruption. Our formulations prioritize high-quality, non-toxic ingredients to support both your skin and overall well-being. Learn more here.

We never use synthetic fragrances—our products are free from artificial scents, phthalates, and anything that could compromise skin health.

We do use essential oils in our cleansers only, carefully chosen for their skin benefits and subtle, natural aroma. Our leave-on products, like serums, face oils, and sunscreen, are fragrance-free to keep them as gentle and universally compatible as possible.

This way, you get the best of both worlds—a sensorial cleansing experience without unnecessary fragrance in your skincare.
