About The Skincare Bureau®
Independent ingredient-claim verification for skincare.
The Skincare Bureau® was created to bring greater credibility, transparency, and accountability to skincare ingredient claims.
Our Mission
To bring greater credibility and transparency to skincare ingredient claims through independent, documentation-based verification.
The Skincare Bureau® gives brands a credible way to substantiate eligible ingredient claims and gives consumers clearer information about what has been independently reviewed.
Our goal is simple: if it is claimed, it should be supported.
Why We Exist
Consumers see ingredient claims. They typically do not see the supplier records, certifications, sourcing documents, processing information, or other records that may support them.
The Skincare Bureau® was created to bring independent review to that gap. Participating brands voluntarily submit documentation for eligible claims, and verified products make the outcome of that review more visible to consumers.
Our Vision
We envision a future where the ingredient claims that influence the choices we make for ourselves and our families carry greater meaning—because TSB Verified™ gives consumers a trusted way to recognize which claims have been documented and independently verfied.
A Note from Our Founder
With a background in both agriculture and skincare, I have experienced firsthand how much ingredient claims influence the products we choose—and how difficult those claims can be to evaluate with confidence.
That experience led me to create The Skincare Bureau®—an independent organization founded on the belief that honest ingredient communication deserves meaningful recognition.
The Skincare Bureau exists to give brands a credible way to stand behind eligible ingredient claims and consumers a clearer basis for making their own informed choices.
