What EWG Verified™ Means to Us — and Why It Matters

At Vermont Skincare Company, every product we make is EWG Verified™. This is a formulation decision that shapes how we work from the very beginning.

Many people who find our skincare line already understand that skincare regulation in the U.S. is inconsistent and often driven more by marketing language than meaningful safety standards. If you’re here, you likely don’t need convincing that “clean,” “natural,” or even “organic” can mean very different things depending on who is using the words.

What matters more is how Vermont Skincare Company defines its limits.

Why We Chose EWG Verification

EWG Verified™ requires full ingredient disclosure, strict hazard screening, and ongoing compliance — not just at launch, but over time. Every ingredient, every formula, every update is reviewed against standards designed to prioritize long-term safety.

We formulate conservatively by design. We favor fewer ingredients, lower interference, and long-term skin tolerance over novelty or trend-driven formulation. Submitting every product to independent verification aligns with how we already work — it reflects a level of gentle precision we believe skincare should return to.

EWG Verification is not automatic. It requires commitment.

More Than a Label

Many certifications focus on how ingredients are sourced. Others focus on how products are positioned. EWG Verified™ focuses on what is actually in the formula — and what is intentionally left out.

For skincare, this distinction matters.

Ingredients permitted under certain certifications may still raise concerns when used on the skin daily, over long periods of time, or as part of cumulative routines. We apply a standard that evaluates skincare as wellness — as something used on the body every day.

EWG’s criteria align closely with European cosmetic safety standards, which are generally more precautionary than those used in the U.S. This reflects the level of scrutiny we believe topical products deserve.

What This Means for You

Choosing EWG Verified™ products means choosing clarity, transparency, and accountability.

It means:

• Each ingredient has been evaluated for safety

• Full disclosure, without ambiguity

• No tradeoffs made for performance at the expense of long-term use

• A formulation philosophy grounded in restraint rather than excess

For many, this offers peace of mind — not because a product promises transformation, but because it respects the skin’s intelligence and limits.

Why We Apply This Standard to Every Product

We verify every product because consistency matters. Safety should not depend on which item you choose or how often you use it.

EWG Verified™ reflects our company-wide commitment — one that informs how we formulate, how we educate, and how we show up in an industry that often prioritizes speed over care.

For us, this is not about standing apart. It is about standing behind what we make.

A Quiet Commitment to Better Skincare

If you are already thoughtful about what you put on your skin, EWG Verification may feel less like a discovery and more like confirmation.

That’s exactly how we see it.
