The Synergy of Clean, Safer Ingredients + Our Smart, Small-Batch Formulation
The Synergy of Clean, Safer Ingredients – The guiding principle in designing our unique, health-conscious formula was to select ingredients with the least risk and most benefit to your health. We developed a minimalist, concise formula. We painstakingly selected cleansers, emollients, botanicals and probiotics necessary to create effective products where each ingredient is multi-tasking to produce additional beneficial effects beyond their traditional primary function in the formulation.
We applied the EWG published ingredient metric score (1 to 10) for each ingredient in our Safe Reset™ products to derive our risk level score (1 to 10). EWG is a respected non-profit resource for consumer advocacy and research.
On a scale from 1 (low risk) to 10 (high risk), Safe Reset™ products have an average risk level score of 1.08, and no ingredient is rated above 2.
LOW RISK 1
HIGH RISK 10
Our Smart, Small-Batch Formulation – Safe Reset™ is formulated in small, artisanal batches to maximize the full potential of our carefully selected ingredients. Our innovative production technique ensures that the natural flavonoids, polyphenols and botanicals retain their beneficial properties, which can be lost in common large-scale manufacturing processes. This unconventional small-batch formulation employing synergistic, clean & safer ingredients defines Safe Reset as a next-generation alternative.
Our salon clients who can choose any products they desire, choose Safe Reset because they love the results they see and feel on their hair & skin. They also love cleaner, safer products. Our products are made in the USA.

FORMULATED WITHOUT
These are just some of the commonly used personal care product ingredients with potential health risks – such as hormonal disruption, skin irritation, allergies and carcinogenicity – that our products are FORMULATED WITHOUT:
Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS) and Sodium Laureth Sulfate (SLES) – strong detergents that strip hair of natural oils, causing dryness and irritation.
Parabens (e.g., butylparaben, methylparaben) – preservatives linked to hormone disruption.
Silicones (e.g., dimethicone, cyclomethicone) – create buildup that blocks moisture from the scalp.
Synthetic Fragrances – may contain hidden chemicals that can cause allergic reactions and hormone disruption.
Synthetic Dyes (e.g., FD&C colors) – often derived from petroleum, some are suspected carcinogens and can cause scalp irritation.
Isopropyl Alcohol – extremely drying, leading to hair brittleness.
Petroleum-based Ingredients – non-renewable ingredients can strip hair of moisture and pose environmental concerns.
Formaldehyde and formaldehyde-releasing agents (e.g., Quaternium-15) – carcinogens and skin irritants.
Formaldehyde-releasing preservatives (e.g., DMDM Hydantoin) – can cause sensitivity, irritation, and a range of health risks with long-term exposure.
Phenoxyethanol, Sodium Benzoate, Benzoic Acid etc. – widely used preservatives with a range of health risks with long-term exposure.
Phthalates – common in fragrances and may disrupt hormones.
Polyethylene Glycols (PEGs) – may disrupt skin barrier and carry impurities (such as 1,4-dioxane), which can penetrate skin and enter bloodstream.

Healthy Microbiota is Key to Healthy Hair and Skin
Over the past several years researchers have been uncovering extensive and complex connections between our skin microbiota and our immune system. These interactions contribute to reinforcing and repairing the skin barrier, strengthening the body’s defenses against infections, environmental damage, and regulating inflammation. Personal care products we put on our skin influence moisture levels, pH, lipid content and other micro-environmental factors that regulate our skin microbiota.
Each product in our Safe Reset routine was designed to support and nourish the microbiome of your skin and scalp.
Safe Reset bottles are FDA food-contact compliant, BPA free, recyclable ♴, and made in the USA
