Made for living skin.
Every formulation choice begins with the ecosystem already present on skin. Supporting it means understanding what belongs there, and refusing what does not.
Claims are easy. Standards require proof.
Certification puts a third party between a promise and the person reading it. These are the standards attached to the product, and what each one actually verifies.
No animal testing. No exceptions hidden in the supply chain.
The Face Barrier Serum is approved under the Cruelty Free International Approval Programme. Throda follows a fixed cut-off date policy, monitors suppliers proactively and has that monitoring system independently audited.
