Green and Growing...
In our mission to create the highest
quality cosmetics and skincare, we are constantly evolving to meet the demands
of today's image- and health-conscious consumer while doing our part to help
preserve the environment. Because we care, we make every effort to develop our
products without harmful chemicals such as lead and talc - and wherever
possible, fortify our exclusive formulas with nurturing natural ingredients.
David Scott is proud to offer a full line of ECO friendly cosmetics and
skincare with your well-being in mind. While a very small percentage of our
beauty products do contain Parabens as a preservative (although statistics have
not confirmed they cause cancer) our team is busy at work developing effective
and natural alternatives. As we evolve and refine our products we are committed
to being a green company... growing with you!
