Origins and History

Back in 2014, Credo Beauty got its start in San Francisco. Annie Jackson, a beauty industry veteran, and Shashi Batra, a sustainability champ, joined forces to create a space for clean beauty. They started small, with a few brands that met their strict standards for non-toxic, eco-friendly products.

Growth and Today

Fast forward to now, and Credo's grown like a weed, but a good one. They've got a vast lineup of brands from all around the globe. People dig them because they're picky about what they sell. Credo's earned trust with their customers by keeping it real and keeping it clean. They've got stores in some major cities too, but their online marketplace is where the magic happens.
