OUR MISSION
Onsite research and product development teams have collaborated for more than a decade to produce responsible, all-natural cosmetics, skincare, and wellness lines that bridge the science and alchemy of wellness. Our name reflects our mission: provide a wellness system that shines bright, not only in the quality of our products but also in the quality of our intentions.
Born of respect for the ecosystem and inspired by the luminosity of Virgo’s brightest star, Spica Organics is the universal embodiment of wellness and self-empowerment. Spica Organics is the brand of choice for individuals who prefer natural to artificial; nourishing to depleting; healthy to toxic. Everything we do revolves around creating a positive impact on your overall well-being while protecting your skin, your health, and the health of our planet.
We continue to raise the bar.
Spica Organics skincare is 100% certified organic.
Unlike many natural cosmetics, Spica Organics makeup contains no carmine. Due to the cool pink and red hues it yields, carmine is commonly used in traditional (petroleum-based) and natural cosmetics, colored drinks and yogurts, perfumes, and some vitamins. While its brilliant crimson red pigment may look appealing, its effects on the body are not.
Obtained from the aluminum salt of carminic acid, carmine originates from some scale insects, such as the Cochineal beetle. While this buggy extract is an organic compound, carmine can cause severe allergic reactions. It may also trigger severe headaches and dizziness, as well as skin, eye, respiratory tract, and digestive tract irritation. It is also suspected to be an environmental toxin. In addition to banning carmine, Spica Organics is also 100% vegan. It’s also made without gluten, lactose, artificial colors, or artificial fragrances.
At Spica Organics, we are 100% committed to responsibly combining the art of wellness with the science of health.
