Kiehl’s utilises powerful skincare ingredients that are drawn from nature but bolstered by science. We consider an ingredient to be naturally derived (or of natural origins) if it is unchanged from its natural state or still retains 50% or more of its molecular structure from natural plant or mineral sources. In cases where naturally derived skincare ingredients are modified, it is often to improve texture and stability.
