Our Standards
Since the US regulations governing the cosmetics and personal care industry are largely lacking, Crunchi has set a new bar to ensure our products go beyond safe, high-performance, and sustainable.

Sustainability

Due to the lack of regulation in the US, there is no standardized definition for the term "toxin-free." At Crunchi, we have defined toxin-free as the following: a product is considered toxin-free if it does not contain any ingredients known to cause harm or health hazard based on available ingredient data and research. Each ingredient in our products undergoes a rigorous 30-step screening criteria to be considered safe for use. .

Yes, at this time all Crunchi products are made with gluten-free ingredients and have been third-party laboratory tested to confirm gluten is non-detectable (< 20 ppm). The testing performed is the same method and standard required by the FDA for food products to make a gluten-free claim.
