100% Pure

100% Pure is a cruelty-free company that creates skincare, body care, and cosmetics using natural and pure ingredients. Whatever we apply on our skin gets absorbed, which is why all 100% Pure formulas are free of harmful toxins that are commonly found in other cosmetics. 100% Pure’s mission is to create the healthiest cosmetics made with the highest quality ingredients. Instead of using mineral colorants 100% Pure has created a process to extract pigments from fruits such as strawberries and peaches. These natural pigments are not only beautiful and long-lasting, but also nourish the skin with anti-aging antioxidants. Feel beautiful while feeding your skin!
