Protecting One Child Became a Mission for Many
Where our standards began
When my son Asher developed baby eczema, I realized ingredient safety wasn’t guaranteed by products, retailers, or even regulators—it was my responsibility as a parent.
Determined to protect his delicate skin, I transformed how I shopped, reading every label and choosing only the safest ingredients.
Years later, seeing my daughters explore my makeup drawer, I created Popsicle Beauty Club—a place where playtime and peace of mind could finally exist together.
Why a club? Because clubs are exclusive—and we’re just as selective about the ingredients we allow into every product we curate for you.

How to explain clean self-care to kids
Imagine your body is like a big city
Your endocrine system is like the city’s mail carrier, delivering important messages (hormones) to keep everything running smoothly.
But chemicals like synthetic fragrances and artificial colors can send fake messages, confusing your body and causing problems with growth, digestion, periods, and even cancer.
Some chemicals, called carcinogens (like formaldehyde and coal tar), are even worse because they are proven to actually cause cancer.
Heavy metals (like lead and arsenic) can sneak into makeup, building up in our bodies and hurting our brains—just like too much trash piling up in a city can cause big problems for everyone.
Colors that are unsafe
Not all colors (colorants) are created equal. Some are made from things that aren't good for us or the planet.
Organic colorants are like the bright and bold billboards in our cityscape, catching your eye with their vivid colors. Don’t be fooled by the word “organic” – it doesn't mean natural or related to organic farming. Instead, it means ingredients made from chemicals, usually from petroleum or coal-tar.
Organic Dyes
These are the water-soluble colors found in many products, labeled with "D&C" (Drugs & Cosmetics) or "FD&C" (Food, Drugs, & Cosmetics). However, their bright hues come with a dark side. They can be contaminated with heavy metals like lead and arsenic, posing risks of cancer, brain damage, and reproductive toxicity. It's like finding out those eye-catching billboards we compared colorants to are actually polluting the city air.
Avoid ingredients listed as FD&C + color + number, for example FD&C Yellow No. 5.
Organic Pigments
These oil-dispersible colors are a bit different. They're not soluble in water and tend to stay put better than dyes. Many of these pigments start off as FD&C dyes before being turned into pigments, which means they can carry similar risks.
The main pigments to watch out for: Orange 5 Lake (CI 45370), Red 6 Lake (CI 15850), Red 7 Lake (CI 15850), Red 21 Lake (CI 45380), Red 27 Lake (CI 45410), Red 30 Lake (CI 73360), Red 33 Lake (CI 17200), Blue 1 Lake (CI 42090), Yellow 5 Lake (CI 19140), Yellow 6 Lake (CI 15985).
Colors that are animal-derived
Some colors come from animals, like carmine, vibrant red pigment made from crushed beetles, or guanine, made from fish scales to add a shimmery, iridescent effect to cosmetics. While they might look pretty, it's cruel to harm innocent creatures.
Colors that are mined by children
The sparkle in many eyeshadows and other products comes from mica, mined in conditions often involving child labor. While mica itself is considered safe, it's as if the city's glittering lights were made possible by hurting others. Synthetic alternatives offer a safe, ethical option.
