Clean Beauty · MiPalette R&D Standard

Color you can wear
with a clear conscience.

Every MiPalette pan is developed against a single, uncompromising rule: if an ingredient is questioned by the world’s strictest clean-beauty programs, it doesn’t go in. No shortcuts. No grey areas. Just color you can trust on your skin.

Our R&D Standard

Clean isn’t a label we borrow.
It’s a standard we wrote.

We built our own formulation standard, benchmarked against the leading clean-beauty programs in North America and Europe. It governs every shade we develop — from the first pigment trial to the pan in your hand.

Safe for skin

Strict limits on ingredients linked to irritation or long-term health concerns — screened shade by shade.

Kind to the planet

Risk controlled across design, packaging and end-of-life. Reef-safe by formulation, never an afterthought.

Vegan-ready & cruelty-free

Built to support vegan and animal-welfare claims — no carmine, beeswax, lanolin or hidden animal inputs.

Fully transparent

Every formula carries a complete ingredient list. What’s in your palette is never a mystery.

The Exclusion List

What you’ll never
find in a MiPalette pan.

These aren’t ingredients we “try to avoid.” They’re a hard line in our standard — banned before a formula ever reaches development. Just a few of the 50+ on our list:

Our Philosophy

Beauty should add to you —
never quietly take away.

01

Transparency is non-negotiable

If we can’t stand behind an ingredient in writing, it doesn’t belong in your palette.

02

Inclusion is built in

Clean color for every warmth and every skin tone — designed from day one, not added later.

03

Stricter than we have to be

We hold our formulas to a higher bar than the programs we benchmark against.

“We don’t define beauty. We build a clean foundation open enough for you to define yourself.”

— The MiPalette Team
Why It Matters

We don’t just meet the clean bar.
We raise it.

Most “clean” seals share a core list of excluded ingredients. We start there — and then go further. A side-by-side look at where our standard is stricter:
