To help you easily identify vegan brands, several organizations like Vegan Action, The Vegan Society, and The Vegetarian Society provide trusted certifications similar to cruelty-free certifications, like PETA and Leaping Bunny. 

Is Alpha-H Clean?

Alpha-H is not fully a clean beauty brand. Some of their products contain Ethyl acrylate, Phenoxyethanol, EDTA, Disodium EDTA, Oxybenzone, and Styrene – ingredients that aren’t considered clean. However, all their formulas are made without Parabens, SLS and SLES, Petrolatum and Parrafin, Phthalates, Nanoparticle, 1, 4 Dioxane, BHT, Coal Tar, Mineral Oil, and many other toxic ingredients. More information about their formulas here.

What “clean” means to us:
The term “clean beauty” isn’t regulated, which means brands can use labels like clean, natural, or green without clear standards.

For us, clean beauty means avoiding ingredients such as parabens, phthalates, sulfates, and formaldehyde that are known or suspected to negatively impact human health, animals, or the environment.

Check out our Clean Beauty Brands A-Z list, or use our free Clean Ingredients Checker to determine whether a specific product contains toxic ingredients.

Is Alpha-H Non-Comedogenic?

Based on the research I did through random sampling, Alpha-H’s products are non-comedogenic. However, I recommend checking the ingredients of the specific product you want to purchase to be sure.

Non-comedogenic means a product is less likely to clog your pores, which can help prevent breakouts and blackheads. These products are a great choice for people with acne-prone or sensitive skin.

Use our free Pore-Clogging Ingredients Checker to determine if a product is non-comedogenic or contains pore-clogging ingredients.

Is Alpha-H Ethical?

If you care about making more conscious choices, we’ve researched and answered the key questions to help you find products that align with your values. Here’s what we found:

Where Is Alpha-H Manufactured?

We share this because manufacturing location can impact labor and environmental standards. If you’d like to learn more about this, please read This Is Why Where Your Beauty Products Are Made Matters.

Is Alpha-H Sustainable?

Yes, Alpha-H is committed to sustainability. Their packaging is made from 30-35% Post Consumer-Recycled (PCR) materials and are recyclable. Their product boxes are made from sustainably sourced 100% FSC stock and are also 100% recyclable. Our shipper boxes and protective padding are made from 70% FSC stock and are 100% recyclable. Wherever possible, Alpha-H’s ingredients are sourced from certified sustainable RSPO (Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil) suppliers. The brand also partnered with NuGrow to manage their liquid waste. NuGrow is Queensland’s leader in recycling and revegetation. They convert liquid, solid, food organics, garden organics and green waste into high-grade composts, premium soils and soil conditioners. As a result, 100% of the brand’s liquid waste is diverted to land revegetation projects. Additionally, their Gold Coast factory and warehouse facilities are powered with the help of 195 solar panels.

Is Alpha-H Socially Responsible?

Yes, Alpha-H is socially responsible. The brand commits 1% of all sales of their cult Liquid Gold Exfoliating Treatment to Women in Ocean Science. Women in Ocean Science are a non-profit organisation tackling gendered issues in marine science and conservation to empower women to thrive in ocean-related careers and learning environments.⁠⁠ They also founded The Encoreship, an initiative providing employment opportunities for women facing challenges returning to the workforce or pivoting careers after an extended period away.
