We got our name from our mission: stripping skincare back down to the basics and keeping things simple. Besides our simple skincare philosophy, all formulation, manufacturing, and shipping is done at our lab. No middleman, no BS.

To us, simple skincare uses fewer ingredients to deliver the same results. We find that sensitive skin reacts better to fewer ingredients, so we carefully choose what ingredients we formulate with to create high-quality, luxury textures that perform at an effective level.

Doing this is also a big plus for the environment; we tend to reach for more plant-powered ingredients and find innovative ways to avoid harsh ingredients. This also allows us to keep our prices down, which is why our products are so affordable! 

Yes! Stripped Beauty is vegan, cruelty-free, and hand-made in small batches.

Stripped Beauty products are formulated by Melissa Arpino and her mother, Cathie Arpino. Cathie has over 35 years of experience in cosmetic cosmetology, teaching Melissa everything she knows. All products at Stripped Beauty are formulated, manufactured, and shipped in-house at our lab in Pleasant Valley, New York. We never test on animals.

A good rule of thumb to follow is applying your products from thinnest to thickest. We reccomend:

cleanser > toner > serum or treatment products > face cream > face oil

USA only for now. We’re working on shipping worldwide, we promise!

We typically process online orders the same or next business day. Once your order has been dispatched from our lab facility, your order is then handed off to a carrier and on its way to you! You'll receive a shipment status and tracking info via email until your new Stripped Beauty products arrive. 

We only ship Monday - Friday; the shipping and handling cost for your order is based on the total weight of your package. 

Oh no! Try to wait another day or two—sometimes, there are issues on the carrier's end that get resolved quickly. If your package still hasn't arrived, send us an email at hello@strippedbeauty.com, and we'll get to the bottom of it together.

We want you to be completely happy with your Stripped Beauty order. If for any reason you're not satisfied, please email us at hello@strippedbeauty.com, and we'll refund your money, no questions asked and no return required.
