The Ordinary is a cruelty-free and vegan brand that offers a wide range of high-performing skincare products at very reasonable prices. Although the clinical names of The Ordinary’s products may sound somewhat complicated at first, in fact it’s pretty simple. To clarify, instead of adding misleading ingredients The Ordinary prefers to keep it minimal with high concentrations of the active ingredients that actually deliver.
The Ordinary is all about ingredients, both when it comes to what’s in the products and what isn’t. This is why all their products are free of paraben, sulfates, mineral oil, formaldehyde and oxybenzone and more.
