Brand

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.
