Our Commitment to Clean Beauty

Natural ingredients are not enough. At NAYA, we are engaged to be a clean & sustainable brand, without making a compromises on the quality or efficacy of our products.

There is no universal standard for natural & clean beauty. That’s why NAYA's founder decide to ban 2000 potentially harmful ingredients from her formulas—going well beyond the strictest regulations in Europe which currently ban 1300 ingredients. (Please note, this number keeps changing by the EU Cosmetic Regulations and so will our in accordance.)
