What we stand for
Every NEUGLO formula is developed and manufactured by us.
We develop and manufacture everything NEUGLO sells. Not a contract lab or a white-label supplier.
THIS is the reason this brand can exist. When you make it yourself, you know exactly what’s in it, exactly what it cost, and exactly what you had to give up to keep your standards. So we publish that info.
We drew a hard line, and here’s what put it there.
Most skincare is formulated to a price and a shelf life. Ingredients get chosen because they’re cheap, stable, and familiar . There is never a question of what happens to them after they wash down the drain.
Four things convinced us to work differently.
of cosmetics tested in the US and Canada contained PFAS and most didn’t list them on the label. If it isn’t on the label you can't avoid them.
units of rigid plastic packaging produced by US beauty in a single year.
of US plastic actually gets recycled. Which means “recyclable” is mostly a label, not an outcome.
pieces of beauty packaging thrown away rather than recycled, every year.
None of that is a reason to be afraid of your moisturizer. It’s a reason for us to build one differently.
Green chemistry isn’t a marketing word here. It’s a constraint.
Green chemistry is an actual EPA framework for designing compounds that are renewable, biodegradable, and low-impact by design rather than by cleanup.
In practice that rules out a lot of ingredients that would make our lives easier.
No microplastics or synthetic polymers
No silicones
No petrochemical-derived ingredients
No synthetic fragrance
Working this way is harder and more expensive. Formulas take longer to stabilize, textures take more iterations to get right, and some effects are simply off the table.
The actives still have to earn their place. Bakuchiol and astaxanthin in BioGlo, willow bark and panthenol in the cleanser, elemental magnesium and German chamomile in the body lotion.
Packaging that gets a second life, or grows into one.
Glass, uncoated
Endlessly recyclable, and refillable.
Hemp paper labels, soy-based ink
No plastic film, no laminate.
Plantable seed-paper boxes
Put the box in soil and it grows wildflowers.
Low-impact shipping
Recyclable boxes, compostable or plantable paper.
Return and reuse
a program to take back glass and small plastic components, sanitize them, and put them back into circulation.
Here’s where your money actually goes. (using BioGlo's stats as an example)
Most brands treat this as confidential. We don’t see why.
Roughly half a load of air-dried laundry, measured across the full lifecycle.
You can check both numbers against what we charge. That’s the point of publishing them.
Made by hand. Published in full.
Every formula developed in-house. Every ingredient chosen to break down. Every cost and every gram of carbon on the record.
