FAQs

Is Ogee cruelty free?
We do not test any of our formulas or ingredients on animals and we are proud to be certified to the Leaping Bunny standard.

Why Jojoba Seed Oil?
Harvested on an organic farm in the American desert, our extra virgin Jojoba Seed Oil is considered “Golden Grade”.

We use only the first press oil and we infuse it into all of our Hydraganic products. It is richest in antioxidants and the micronutrients that are best for skin. And we don’t use any heat in the extraction process so that the vital nutrients of the Jojoba Seed are preserved, increasing the benefits when applied to skin. When studied at a molecular level, Jojoba oil was found to have the closest structure to the natural Sebum (oil) of the skin. Making it easy to absorb without clogging pores. 

What does Ogee mean?
Ogee means the S shape curve of the cheekbone. It represents a natural youthfulness and beauty that skin specialists and surgeons are often trying to “restore”.

Our products are a non-invasive boost to the skin that helps to preserve natural youth and beauty organically.

What is Hydraganics?
‘Hydragranics’ is the term we use at Ogee to describe the two most important parts of our product collection: hydrating and organic.

New research has shown that organically grown plants are the richest in antioxidants with micronutrients that are most beneficial to the skin. This makes organic ingredients the best for our bodies, as there’re no trace levels of pesticides and genetically modified organisms, and the best for our planet, as organic farming is far better for the environment.

What is Certified Organic?
To ensure that only the best organic ingredients have been incorporated into our skincare collection, Ogee proudly holds certification for NSF standards—an internationally recognized organic certification.

The NSF seal signifies that each product contains the highest levels of certified organic ingredients while maintaining their purity from farm to skin. The organic certifier regulates every step of the process, from the farm where our ingredients are grown to being blended and filled into each bottle.

Organic crops must be grown without the use of conventional pesticides or other synthetic chemicals, genetically modified organisms (GMOs), and a multitude of other banned ingredients.

Importantly, when processing the ingredients, whether via the cold pressing of jojoba seeds or the extraction of stem distilled oral extracts, our organic certifier ensures that no harmful or toxic processes have been used.

Where is Ogee made?
We source the best ingredients from around the globe, including our hero ingredient Jojoba Oil, that is sourced from a sustainable farm right here in the USA. We are blended, filled, certified and packaged in the United States using 100% recycled paperboard. You can find us headquartered in Burlington, Vermont!
