Our Philosophy
Active Ingredients. Proven Performance.
At Drunk Elephant, everything we do is done with intention. All formulas are purposefully developed with a focus on biocompatibility, appropriate pH levels, and ensuring your skin gets everything it needs and nothing it doesn't.
The
Drunk Elephant
Difference
Drunk Elephant believes performance and personality can live in the same jar. We believe in skin-smart formulas that are developed with efficacious levels of active ingredients that can be easily absorbed and put to use.
What is
Biocompatible
Skincare
Biocompatible skincare means formulas that work in sync with the skin and contain ingredients with small molecular structures that can be easily absorbed.
We choose ingredients your skin can easily absorb and already recognizes so they can go to work immediately.
