Ipsy is a beauty membership that offers clean, vegan, and cruelty-free products. They have launched The Out List, which is a standard that assures members that the products they receive from Ipsy will not be formulated with potentially harmful ingredients. Ipsy also provides more transparency about what’s inside (or left out) of products to make it easier to find products that align with members values.
Regarding the ingredients or materials of Ipsy products, they exclude over 1,800 potentially harmful ingredients. The Out List was developed through a rigorous screening and vetting process developed by North America’s leading toxicology group, The Agyekum Group Consulting (TAGC), to help Ipsy make informed choices about what went on the list. Ipsy also offers clean beauty products that meet their thoughtful, science-backed clean guidelines.
In terms of positive and negative reviews of Ipsy products, a review of the Refreshments line was positive, with the body cream and hand cream being described as rich and moisturizing. A review of the May 2022 Glam Bag noted that a nail lacquer was free from all toxic chemicals like formaldehyde, toluene, and DBP chemicals. However, there are also negative reviews of Ipsy products on YouTube.
