Hale & Hush
Hale (adjective: free from disease or infirmity; robust; hearty)
Hush (verb: to calm, quiet, or soothe)
With roots in oncology cosmeceuticals, Hale & Hush is the only medical-grade skincare line to focus exclusively on sensitive skin and health-challenged skin. As sensitive skin experts, Hale & Hush offer products to help treat, nourish, build, and repair skin, helping to heal barrier function, calm sensitivities, soothe irritations, and reduce inflammation.
All Hale & Hush products are free of gluten, sulfates, parabens, artificial fragrances, dimethicone, and silicone and are Leaping Bunny-certified.
Beyond sensitive skin, Hale & Hush products also help with mature skin, uneven skin tone, clogged pores, dryness, or those needing improvement with brightening or texture.
Hale & Hush Principles:
Botanical Heart Ingredients~
The highly purified part of a botanical that has the highest concentrated levels of the key potent actives (the best of a botanical) is what comprises Hale & Hush botanical ingredients.
Intelligent use of Organic and Sustainable Ingredients~
Hale & Hush chemists carefully take into account the sustainability of natural and organic ingredients, as well as create a combination of ingredients that are best suited for sensitive skin and beneficial for age prevention in skin. Some natural ingredients are also organically grown, which means they are produced with environmentally sound methods: no pesticides, no chemical fertilizers and no genetic modifications.
Chirally Correct~
Mother Nature creates molecules with two sides or hands, right and left. For reasons unknown to scientists, some right-handed molecules work best on skin, whereas some left-handed molecules work best. It may be a more extensive and expensive route, but it has been Hale & Hush’s life work to only use the ‘hand’ of the lab-neutral molecule that best mimics Mother Nature’s perfect plan (aka: chirally correct).
No Artificial Fragrance~
Hale & Hush products have no added artificial fragrances. The aroma of Hale & Hush products stems from the naturally occurring scent of the ingredients; if a product is designed to be scented, then a 100% natural scent was incorporated.
No Animal Testing~
Hale & Hush tests their products on individuals who fall within a variety of points along the Skin Challenge Spectrum. Hale & Hush does not test on animals.
Corneotherapy Supportive~
Hale & Hush chooses ingredients that support correction and restoration of the stratum corneum and the skin’s barrier defense systems (so the products are supportive of your microbiome and of over-all skin health).
Circadian Rhythm Awareness~
Hale & Hush is acutely aware that skin cells, including critical stem cells, have their own clocks. These clocks are set to “night” in order to proliferate, repair and maintain healthy tissue. However, stress, illness, night jobs, and normal aging can all interrupt nighttime sleep, which can accelerate DNA damage, cell aging and other negative skin ailments. Hale & Hush creates products that address this natural, yet often overlooked skin ‘clock’ dilemma.
