About C+G

Common + Good is a vegan, unisex brand. The line is full of edible, wholesome, nourishing ingredients, and is formulated to support not only beauty, but systemic wellness.

We make beauty-food. It’s Unisex because it can be.

The skin is the beginning of a secondary digestive system - much of what our skin is exposed to, we take in with an incredible rapidity, straight to our bloodstream and lymph. In sight of this, it is of course important to scrutinize the purity and safety of all personal care items and it is also an opportunity to feed the body. Common + Good is full of vitamins, antioxidants, minerals, omega fatty acids, phytonutrients, anti-inflammatories, active enzymes and more.

The majority of our ingredients are sourced from the sea. Just over a hundred years ago, René Quinton (a French biologist) published his studies comparing the ocean ecosystem with the ecosystem of the human body in a book called Seawater: Organic Milieu. In this research, he remarks that seawater closely resembles the density and balance of human blood plasma and lymph. He concluded that purified isotonic seawater carrying algae-based phytonutrients could be used to treat a number of ailments including infectious diseases. 

He was the first to create a saline solution for medical use. Quinton is the backbone of the Common + Good chemistry. 

Each product is built upon a foundation of algae and seaweed extracts. These not only assist with beauty-based concerns, such as collagen-production, cellular renewal, melanin/pigmentation consistency, skin elasticity and strengthening of the connective tissue matrix (to reduce fine lines and wrinkles), but also delivers a wonderfully potent dose of antioxidants, vegan enzymes and minerals.

 

Transparency

We are proud of our ingredients & we don’t want to hide anything from anyone.

Commercial competition and the capitalist fixation with profit has unfortunately brought out the worst in the beauty industry, an almost completely unregulated market. Leading companies regularly deceive consumers by mislabeling ingredients, using overtly confusing lists of unpronounceable materials with the hope that no one will stop and check. Governments do little to force honesty or public safety in this industry, so it must be consumer regulated. We support self-education in the field of self-care. We want everyone to know exactly what we put in our products because it has taken years of expertise, testing, research and sourcing to find our ingredients. And we want you to feel confident that we will gladly offer any and all information on our ingredients with you.

Common + Good is a reflection of health and wellbeing. Common + Good aims to support the reuniting and reintegration of health and beauty. We honor beauty and the magnificence of the human body and self-healing. Natural radiance will always be the outcome of true nourishment. We believe that Health, Wellness and Beauty are one system.
