Our mission
About Selessa
At Selessa, we believe you shouldn't have to choose between products that work and products you can trust.
Our mission is to make understanding beauty ingredients simple. Using science, transparency and smart technology, we help you discover products that are both effective and aligned with a cleaner standard.
The beauty industry is full of confusing claims and complicated ingredient lists. That's why we look beyond the marketing to analyse what's really inside every product. We assess ingredients against current scientific evidence and trusted safety frameworks, highlighting potential concerns while providing clear, balanced explanations—not fear.
Whether you're searching a product by name, checking your favourite skincare or looking for a cleaner alternative, Selessa helps you make informed choices with confidence.
Because we believe beauty should be as transparent as it is effective.
Example
An example result
Illustrative only — every analysis is generated from the product's own ingredient list.
Aurelle Skin
Barrier Repair Daily Cream, 50 ml
This is a generally clean, fragrance-free moisturiser with strong barrier-supporting ingredients and two moderate formulation concerns.
Key concerns
- Use with caution Phenoxyethanol — permitted at regulated concentrations, may sting very sensitive skin.
- Use with caution PEG-100 stearate — a possible 1,4-dioxane contamination concern rather than a direct hazard.
Positive ingredients
- Safe Ceramide NP, cholesterol — barrier repair
- Safe Niacinamide, glycerin — hydration and tone
