Toxic Watchlist

At Likha Collaborative, each product undergoes a meticulous screening process to ensure it meets our stringent standards, eliminating any harmful ingredients from our checklist. Our criteria prioritize the elimination of chemicals that pose risks to both human health and the environment, while also imposing restrictions on specific substances to uphold product safety. While we acknowledge not every product is entirely natural, we're steadfastly committed to advancing towards green chemistry and sustainability. Taking this first step is monumental, signaling our departure from conventional product formulations that often do more harm than good. Moreover, we firmly believe in the capability of Filipino artisans to craft top-tier products, thus, our dedication to championing and endorsing Filipino-made goods to bolster our economy.
