How important is it to be aware of the ingredients that are in the products we put on our skin.
VERY.
A lot more than you may realize.
80% of what we apply to our body is absorbed by our skin and into our blood stream.
BEWARE OF: To name just a few: parabens, phthalates, PEGs, ethanolamines, chemical sunscreens, synthetic fragrance, BHT, BHA...to name a few.
This very long and hard to pronounce list of ingredients have been proven and linked to harmful health effects from hormone disruption, to cancer, to skin irritation and unbalanced body odors.
But let's be honest, it is hard for this transition, to be completely clean with your products. But that's why we are here. TO make that necessary transition a bit easier for you.
Is it a bit more costly? Yes, but you are investing in products AND your health and well being. Think of all the damage these harmful ingredients can cause in the long run, nothing is worth more than a healthy long life.
Start now, even if it is slowly, we can help you along the way.
First, lets check your ingredients on your deodorant.
Does it contain any or more of:
parabens, triclosan, phthalates, propylene glycol and aluminum?
If it does, throw it out.
Research has linked these ingredients to several medical conditions including types of cancer and reproductive development issues.
AND YES, THEY ARE STILL ALLOWED ON THE SHELVES FOR PEOPLE TO PURCHASE.
AND YES, THEY ARE ENCOURAGED TO BE BOUGHT WITH “DERMATOLOGIST APPROVED” CERTIFICATES!
Now, please go down the list of products you use everyday.
Compare with the "restricted ingredients list" at the bottom of this post. Petit Vour has a list of ingredients that are NOT APPROVED for the products they sell, and we can trust their research so it is a great guide to use!
Don't get overwhelmed, we are here to help you!

Ingredient Integrity
No animal ingredients, ever. We never include harmful ingredients, and always strive to better our standard as we continue to grow. For a full list of ingredients we will never allow in any of our products, see the Restricted Ingredients list below.
Ethical Manufacturing
We are wholly cruelty-free. This means absolutely NO animal testing or partnering with brands who sell in countries where animal testing is required and NO manufacturing in countries with lower worker standards than the USA, unless the brand can provide clear proof of fair worker standards. We actively push our brands, our partners, and ourselves for greater transparency.
Exceptional Aesthetic
We want to ensure that every discovery you make at PETIT VOUR is not only good for you, your body, animals, and the environment, but looks fantastic on your vanity too.
