Clearstem
Clearstem was founded by Kayleigh Christina and Danielle Gronich, who built the brand specifically around the concept of non-comedogenic, hormone-safe skincare. The founders maintain a proprietary database of comedogenic and hormone-disrupting ingredients, formulating every product to avoid all of them. This approach targets the intersection of acne and anti-aging -- consumers who want to treat aging skin without triggering breakouts, or clear acne without using harsh, drying products. With 5 products across 5 categories averaging 81/100, Clearstem delivers on its niche promise.
Brand Philosophy
Clearstem formulates around two non-negotiable criteria: every ingredient must be non-comedogenic AND non-hormone-disrupting. The brand maintains its own proprietary database of ingredients rated for both pore-clogging and hormonal activity, creating products safe for acne-prone skin at every life stage.
Acne-prone consumers who also want anti-aging benefits without risking breakouts. Particularly valuable for hormonal acne sufferers seeking clean, safe formulations.
