  • CURRENT PRACTICES

    Most cosmetic treatments that promise to “build collagen” (ablative lasers, radiofrequency microneedling, bio-stimulatory injectables, etc.) have the potential to damage your skin, and in the process, create collagen in the form of non-functioning scar tissue. 

    > According to a survey by The Aesthetic Society, plastic surgeons are reporting that many of these treatments can decrease skin quality/function over time and make it more difficult to perform future invasive procedures.

    SWEET CHEMISTRY PRODUCTS

    Our products repair your skin and visibly restore dermal collagen in as soon as 4 weeks without causing damage, forming healthy looking, living tissue.

    > This improves your skin quality as you age and allows you to stave off invasive procedures a little longer, should you desire them.

  • Our polypeptides are not a marketing “complex”. They have been granted their own internationally recognized INCI name.

    CURRENT PRACTICES

    Artificial, chemically-synthesized peptides traditionally used in cosmetic formulas are singular solo performers and are thought to provide some regenerative benefits to your skin.

    SWEET CHEMISTRY PRODUCTS

    Sweet Chemistry formulas contain 3% Matrikynes® polypeptides derived from natural extracellular matrix.

    > These proprietary polypeptides consists of over 300 natural extracellular matrix polypeptides, are highly bioavailable, and clinically proven to improve skin barrier function, skin barrier repair, skin density, skin hydration, hyperpigmentation, and global fine lines and wrinkles.

    > Matrikynes® technology is also currently being used in some of the most advanced areas of biomedical research, specifically in clinical applications for organ tissue repair.

  • We love telling the stories behind our formulas. Just not “ingredient stories”.

    CURRENT PRACTICES

    Many dermatological and botanical actives you will find in conventional cosmetic products are formulated at marketing levels, sometimes referred to as “ingredient stories”. 

    > This means your favorite product may only contain around 0.01% of any given active ingredient. This percentage is all it takes for an ingredient to appear in the ingredients list and be marketed to you as a “hero” ingredient. (The above percentage does not refer to milder prescription strength actives like retinoids)

    SWEET CHEMISTRY PRODUCTS

    We use a modern, transparent approach to formulating: All of our dermatological active ingredients are included at functional levels, with our botanical actives at a minimum of 1% each. In our ingredient list, we’re also always transparent about our 1% line. 

    > For our Elasticity Reinforcing Cream, this means we formulate using 30% less water with antioxidants and actives making up 45% of our emulsion. 

    > For our Reparative Oil Serum Infusion, it means you’re getting a waterless serum formulated with powerful actives and efficacious botanicals each at a minimum of 6%.

  • Pesticides and preservatives are utilized to destroy living bacteria, not knowing the difference between good and bad flora. We limit your skin’s exposure to them.

    CURRENT PRACTICES

    Most traditional formulas use conventionally grown botanical ingredients that are exposed to some of the most potent pesticide residues and are preserved with the goal of maximizing long shelf-lives (average period-after-opening date: 12 months).

    > While preservatives are essential in extending shelf-life and ensuring the safety of water-based products, they are often used in excess.

    > Conventional pesticides have the potential to deplete your skin’s microbiome over time, harm farmers, soil, habitats, and other organisms, and also lead to the production of greenhouse gases.

    SWEET CHEMISTRY PRODUCTS

    Our botanical oils and extracts are not only certified organic and free from the most harmful pesticides but smartly protected and preserved without the need for excessive preservatives.

    > This gives you the convenience of shelf-life (6 month period-after-opening) without compromising your microbiome or putting soil, habitat, or farmer health, at risk.

  • Our packaging uses 87% less plastic and protects our actives so you get the performance you expect. 

    TRADITIONAL PACKAGING

    Most airless bottles used for skincare are made from plastic. While the beauty industry is making an effort to use alternative materials such as glass, most glass used for beauty products tends to be heavier in weight than plastic packaging and therefore usually not the more eco-friendly choice.

    > At the same time, relying too much on plastic packaging is damaging to our environment, oceans, and habitats.

    SWEET CHEMISTRY PRODUCTS

    Meet the world’s first ultra-light glass airless bottle: Aside from the small plastic pump/overcap, our packaging is crafted from lightweight Italian glass, so light in fact, some of our customers have even mistaken it for plastic. 

    > Using 87% less plastic by mass than plastic airless bottles, our packaging helps us control our carbon emissions. They have also been shown to protect actives from oxidation more effectively than plastic or glass dropper bottles.

    > We also designed our bottle so you are able to dispense every last drop of product.
