Ingredient Transparency, Without the Fear Campaign

At Guiya, we’re proudly clean — but we’re not here to fear-monger. Some ingredients get a bad rap in the clean beauty world, not because they’re unsafe, but because nuance doesn’t go viral.

So here’s the truth: we use only what’s necessary, in tiny, super-safe amounts, and every formula meets global cosmetic safety standards. No secrets, no spin.

Cyclomethicone (D4-Free)

A silky, fast-evaporating silicone that gives our formulas their dreamy glide. We ditched D4 (the one worth avoiding), so you get the luxe feel — minus the baggage.

Clean Rating: 6/10 (Evaporates in ~a few minutes. It's Magic.)

Caprylyl Glycol (and) Sorbic Acid

Our preservative system — the good kind. Gentle, effective, and used at <1% to keep your makeup fresh and your skin protected.

Clean Rating: 7/10

(Because “preservative-free” sometimes means… mold.)

Hydroxyacetophenone & 1,2 Hexanediol

Stabilizers that stop your favourite formulas from separating, spoiling, or going weird.

Clean Rating: 7/10

(Consistency is key — no one likes chunky blush.)

Cetearyl Alcohol & Cetearyl Glucoside

Plant-derived and gentle. These two work together to keep everything smooth, creamy, and skin-friendly.

Clean Rating: 7/10

(Not that kind of alcohol, promise.)

Magnesium Stearate

A softening hero that makes your powders blend like butter. It’s a naturally occurring salt of a fatty acid.

Clean Rating: 7/10

(Aka: The reason your bronzer doesn't streak.)

We don’t fluff, fudge, or fear-wash. Every Guiya product has a fully transparent ingredients list — and our [Ingredients Glossary] breaks it all down: what it is, why it’s there, and how it ranks.

Because clean beauty should be honest, not hysterical.
