amika is now certified Clean at Sephora

As a brand and a friend to the planet, it’s our job to take action. We understand that we make a large environmental impact—that’s why we evaluate EVERYTHING—from packaging to our shipping regulations, our production process to our ingredients. We continue to make strides toward our sustainability goals (see a full breakdown of our plans here), and we’re proud to announce that we are officially certified Clean at Sephora.  

Sephora has the highest standards across the industry, and they continue to improve and innovate by eliminating more unwanted ingredients. So, what does this mean for amika? Keep reading to find out!  

what does it mean to be clean at sephora?

Being certified Clean at Sephora verifies that our products sold at Sephora are formulated without parabens, sulfates, SLS and SLES, phthalates, mineral oils, formaldehyde, and more (aka. no nasties!).

We’ve always been kind and clean, but now we’ve taken our Sephora offering one step further. Being certified Clean at Sephora means that we're following one of the highest standards of clean beauty. After all, we pride ourselves on being a friend to hair, the planet and YOU. 

how does it affect our assortment?

Now that we’re certified Clean at Sephora, it means any amika product you purchase from Sephora follows their Clean standards on formulation. Read more about what those are here. ​
