I checked most of the products on their website and was horrified with the toxic ingredients they put in their products. I will certainly not use them on my face. 

These are the skincare ingredients to avoid, having been associated with cancer, neurotoxicity, immunotoxicity, hormone disruption and other conditions – all as a result of simply washing your hair, taking a shower, using deodorant, putting on makeup, misting with perfume doing any of the other rituals you perform every day.
