We have our own in-house Product Safety and Regulatory Team that pioneered the Norwex 360° Product Safety Review: a robust ingredient and formula analysis that evaluates each ingredient and formula for purity and safety.
We go beyond “no sulfates and no parabens” and never compromise when it comes to the quality and safety of our products. All Norwex products are meticulously developed based on extensive research and evidenced-based scientific facts, not opinions.
Our comprehensive, three-step program includes: 1. Toxicological Evaluation 2. Global Regulatory Assessment 3. Testing

Upcycled ingredients
What they are: Repurposed raw materials that would otherwise end up in the industrial waste stream.
Why they're important: Upcycling reduces waste by 1) putting to use something that would ordinarily be thrown away, and 2) helping to prevent the emission of green house gasses that occurs when natural materials decompose.
Cranberry seed oil: A balance of omega 3, 6 and 9 moisturises and promotes skin radiance. Also calms skin and strengthens skin's protective barrier.
Rice bran wax: Provides gentle exfoliation.
Better for you. Better for the planet.
We’re reducing our collective carbon footprint by helping everyone reduce waste at home.
Our recyclable packaging and refill containers stay on your counter – and out of landfills.
Refillable Cleansing Facial Powder with 100% PCR plastic reduces landfill load when you refill and reuse the package. And waterless products mean even less packaging.
Eco-friendly Rejuvenating Serum, Renewing Eye Cream and Hydrating Moisturizer allow you to pop in a refill without tossing the whole bottle.
Outer cartons are FSC-certified.
Recycled OceanBound Plastic is made from plastic that falls outside normal collection processes and was in danger of becoming part of the 9 million tons of discarded plastic estimated to flow into our oceans every year.

Prebiotics and probiotics
Benefits:
Balances skin's unique microbiome
Helps protects from external stressors
What is the microbiome?
The skin is home to a microscopic community of organisms, known as the microbiome, that acts a shield against external factors like pollution and harsh cleansers. If it’s compromised, dryness and irritation can result. Skin-loving pre- and probiotics help to keep the microbiome balanced while protecting it from external factors.
