LET’S BE CLEAR: THE FIRST AND MOST
IMPORTANT QUESTION WE ASK OURSELVES IS ALWAYS IS
THIS NEW INGREDIENT SAFE?

Before any ingredient goes into our skincare, we gather the relevant safety and toxicity information on that ingredient. That means having our scientists dive deep into the current research and perform rigorous testing in our state-of-the-art P&G laboratories.

AFTER WE DETERMINE THAT THE NEW INGREDIENT IS SAFE FOR YOUR SKIN, THE NEXT QUESTION WE ASK IS, "WHAT IS THE SAFE RANGE FOR THE INGREDIENT?" THE SAFE RANGE DEFINES HOW MUCH OF THIS INGREDIENT IS SAFE TO USE NOT JUST TODAY, BUT THROUGHOUT YOUR LIFE.

We work to determine a Safe Range for each and every ingredient based on a similar process many regulatory agencies and scientific groups use to ensure safety. Globally, we follow the guidelines of groups like the European Union Commission, the World Heath Organization and the National Academy of Sciences.

We are invested not just in your skin today, but also your skin’s future.

OF COURSE, NONE OF OUR INGREDIENTS STAND ALONE. WHILE WE MIGHT DETERMINE THAT AN INGREDIENT IS SAFE ALONE, WE ALSO EVALUATE THE SAFETY OF OUR PRODUCTS WHEN WE COMBINE THEM WITH OTHER INGREDIENTS IN OUR FORMULAS.

If we can't guarantee a product formula is safe, this formula does not leave the lab. We will either reformulate or we’ll scrap the product all together and go back to the drawing board.

FUN FACT: We have more than 500 scientists and professionals at Olay who make sure our products meet safety and regulatory requirements around the world.

Once our new Olay product is out in the wild, we continuously monitor your comments about that product in social media and through our customer service team. At Olay, we believe you and your skin deserve the best beauty and science have to offer, which means we will never take our eye off the prize: giving you great skin!
