Tidbits: While the ingredient list is a long one, the Founder of Drunk Elephant™, Tiffany Masterson says this: “With Drunk Elephant™ I isolated both great synthetic and natural ingredients that are only there to directly benefit the health of the skin.”
And even more tidbits: And about her line in general she adds, “I formulated with high percentage's of actives at the ideal pH levels, and make sure all the ingredients were easily absorbable and recognized by the skin. The result is a new category of skincare: clean-clinical. It really works. It's safe. What more could you ask for? Plus, the packaging looks pretty bomb on the bathroom counter. ;) “

Curious about the name? So were we ☺
The name Drunk Elephant is rooted in a myth that says elephants love to eat the fruit that has fallen from Marula trees where inside their very large tummies it ferments making the elephants drunk! We encourage you to "further research" this subject by searching "drunk elephants" on YouTube! All this is according to the Drunk Elephant™ site.
