The "lunch-time peel," created by Philosophy founder Cristina Carlino, provided in-office results at home without causing redness or irritation. This method still applies to all philosophy products. Because efficacy works better with joy, they use their dermatologic wisdom formulation principles to create high-performance yet gentle products with feel-good textures, even for sensitive skin.

Philosophy guiding principle is to become your best self by making tiny progress each day. They design every product with the idea that personal care should benefit the skin, mind, and environment.
