EDUCATION


We’re a wellness-based personal care brand designed to save you time in the in-between moments. What are the in-between moments you ask? They are the times between work, working out, errands, going out, down time, commutes, basically you have a lot of them. Convenience shouldn't mean sacrificing quality.

We are focused on a single mission: to make it easier for you to do the things you love, by giving you products to keep you fresh no matter where your day (or night) take you.

Explore the RECESS collection or read reviews to learn more.

We believe in transparency and wanted to share a bit more on our ingredient philosophy. There are a lot of labels out there: clean, organic, natural, certified organic, paraben-free, and non-toxic, to name a few. To us, clean beauty means making products that feel great when you use them, do what they're supposed to do (aka they work), use ingredients that are healthy for you and approved by the FDA and CIR (Cosmetic Ingredient Review) and eco-conscious.

With all the changes and noise in the industry we know this topic can be confusing. In addition to extensive research, we also partner with multiple dermatologists to ensure everything we include in our products is necessary and healthy. While it’s somewhat of a grey area for the industry, and some ingredients have gotten a bad reputation even though there's no scientific backing, we are here to clear that up and keep you skin clean + healthy!

Ingredients we never use:
Parabens
Sulfates
Phthalates
Aluminum
Triethanolamine
Sulfate-based surfactants
Triclosan
Mineral oil
Propylene glycol
DEA


Disodium EDTA: Bonds with metal ions found in water and on the skin to neutralize them. This prevents cosmetic products from deteriorating, maintains clarity, and prevents the product from smelling bad.

PEG-6: Preserves and retains moisture on the skin. It is a large molecule so it is not absorbed. It is safe for use in cosmetics within specified concentration ranges and sourced from quality suppliers.

Fragrance: In general, this is considered an allergen and while there are synthetic and natural fragrances, both can cause allergies. There are tons of fragrances which can also be used in varying concentrations. A reasonable standard has been set through Sephora which certifies products as clean as long as they have less than 1% synthetic fragrance. All RECESS products have less than 1% total fragrance.

Polysorbate 20: Both a surfactant and emulsifier, which keep oils blended properly within water and improves effectiveness of cleaning. It also keeps the product stable and creates a soothing effect on the skin. 


• RECESS is very focused on sustainability, while also preserving product integrity and safety for the customer. So even though the answer is yes our wipes are still in single-use packaging. Details below:

  • Wipes are plant-based and biodegradable. They actually compost in 6 weeks (not sitting in a landfill for 200 years)
  • Using wipes saves water. An average American uses 17.2 gallons of water per shower.
  • The mylar pouches are reusable and resealable 
  • Our manufacturer uses the thinnest plastic lining available to reduce the amount of plastic used in our packaging. We need this to keep the products safe to use! 
  • We use recycled paper and plant-based ink on printed collateral whenever possible and we skip sending collateral when we can!
