Independent Skincare Brand Sacred Rituel™ Launches First-Ever Organic, Raw Face Oil With SPF--Now MADE SAFE® Certified Amid Growing Safety Concerns in U.S. Beauty Industry

MADE SAFE® certification validates Sacred Serum as the first broad-spectrum UVA/UVB SPF 10 face oil made entirely from raw, organic, and cold-pressed botanical ingredients.

LOS ANGELES, July 16, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- In an industry dominated by synthetic SPF creams and unregulated safety claims, Sacred Rituel™ today announced a groundbreaking innovation in clean beauty: Sacred Serum™, the first-ever organic, raw face oil with broad-spectrum SPF 10, is now officially certified by MADE SAFE®, the country's most rigorous third-party ingredient safety standard.

With U.S. consumers increasingly demanding transparency in their skincare—and research showing that many mainstream products contain known toxins, endocrine disruptors, and carcinogens still permitted by the FDA—Sacred Rituel's certification marks a significant step forward for the clean beauty movement.

"We founded Sacred Rituel to prove that you don't need synthetic chemicals to protect your skin—just pure, raw, organic ingredients that truly work," said Stephen Gandee, co-founder & CEO of Sacred Rituel. "Sacred Serum is the first of its kind: a certified MADE SAFE® face oil with natural broad-spectrum SPF, made entirely from ingredients your skin recognizes and welcomes. In an industry where safety claims are unregulated and toxins still dominate the shelves, third-party certification isn't optional—it's essential. Our customers deserve better, and we're here to set a new standard."

Setting a New Bar for Natural Sun Protection

Sun exposure remains the #1 cause of premature aging, and most SPF products rely on chemical UV filters or heavy mineral ingredients that can irritate the skin and clog pores. Sacred Serum™ uses only plant-based, cold-pressed botanicals—including sea buckthorn, raspberry seed, and calendula—to nourish and protect the skin without synthetic preservatives or stabilizers.

"Sacred Rituel was born from our belief that skincare should be both effective and safe—never compromised by harmful chemicals," said Marysia Miernowska, co-founder of Sacred Rituel and a renowned herbalist. "We've always invested in the highest quality raw and organic ingredients to nourish, protect, and repair aging skin, especially from sun exposure. MADE SAFE® certification is an extension of our core values. In a country where most skincare still contains ingredients banned in other parts of the world, third-party validation is essential. It helps us give our customers the trust and transparency they deserve."

MADE SAFE®: A Standard the Industry Needs

Unlike the FDA, which has banned just 11 ingredients in personal care products, MADE SAFE® screens products against more than 15,000 harmful substances known to cause harm to human and environmental health. Sacred Serum's certification means it is verified to be free from:

• Endocrine disruptors
  
  
• Carcinogens
  
  
• Heavy metals
  
  
• Synthetic preservatives
  
  
• Harmful solvents and known irritants

"Congratulations to the Sacred Rituel team! Our team admires all of the work you're doing to bring cleaner and greener products into the world, and we thank you for your dedication to a safer and more sustainable future," said Hailey Duncan of Made Safe.
