Edible Skincare: Our Commitment to Zero BS Ingredients

At Zero BS, we believe what goes on your body should be as clean as what goes in it. That’s why we make every product with food-grade ingredients—not just safe to use, but safe to eat.
Yes, really. You could eat them. (Though we don’t recommend making a snack of our soap bar—unless you’ve got a potty mouth that needs scrubbing.)

Why Edible Ingredients Matter

Here’s the thing: your skin isn’t just a shield. It’s a sponge.
What you put on your skin ends up in your body—especially with daily use. So why settle for petroleum by-products, fake fragrances, and synthetic preservatives when you could be feeding your skin real nourishment?

We use ingredients that your body recognises.
Not lab inventions. Not industrial fillers. Just real, unprocessed, nutrient-rich ingredients—safe enough for the whole family (well... except the soap, and we don’t recommend any soap on newborns).

This commitment to purity is why we’re now Dermatologically Tested and Dermatologist Approved, including for sensitive skin, eczema, and even Topical Steroid Withdrawal. But this isn’t just about approval. It’s about integrity.

No Plastic. No Perfume. No BS.

Let’s be honest—greenwashing is everywhere.
Brands love words like econaturalbotanical, and clean, while quietly pumping their formulas full of:

  • Nylon 66 (yes, actual plastic)

  • Mineral oil and paraffinum liquidum (petroleum by-products)

  • Synthetic vitamins made from fossil fuels

  • Preservatives and emulsifiers that wreck your microbiome

We don’t do that. We never have.
We won’t put anything in our products that we wouldn’t put in our mouths.
And no, that’s not a metaphor.

Sustainability Means Something Here

Most so-called “natural” products still rely on environmentally destructive practices—like palm oil plantations, chemical refining, and hidden petrochemicals. At Zero BS, we’ve built our range on a no-compromise supply chain:

  • Biodegradable packaging (no plastic tubes or microbeads)

  • Free-range, grass-fed tallow from regenerative farms

  • Essential oils distilled on small farms—never lab-made fragrances

  • No fillers, no foamers, no nonsense

We don’t just talk sustainability. We live it, from the farm to the kitchen to your skin.

What You Support When You Choose Zero BS

When you buy Zero BS, you’re not just getting a moisturiser or a balm.
You’re backing a philosophy:

  • Skin food made from real food

  • Products that support your skin’s biome instead of stripping it

  • Packaging that doesn’t pollute

  • A small company that refuses to sell out

And most of all, you’re choosing honesty over hype.

Final Word from Warren

We started Zero BS because I couldn’t find anything safe and effective for my young daughter’s skin concerns. I cooked it up like a meal—because I believed the answer was in the kitchen, not the chem lab. Years later, that same mindset still guides everything we do.

So thank you—for choosing real ingredients, for supporting a better way, and for being part of this BS-free movement.

Until next time:
Stay true. Stay pure. Stay Zero BS.

With gratitude,
Warren
