No two individuals experience menopause the same way and—let’s face it—most beauty brands focus on developing products for people in their 20s or 30s. So, we set out to create a brand and products specifically developed to meet the needs of the many varied experiences, phases and feelings associated with this State Of flux. After all, changing hormones means changing skin and your changing skin deserves to be catered to, too.

You may have heard us namedrop the “Collective” a few times. That’s what we lovingly call our community of over one hundred people who have worked alongside us to share their views and feelings about their bodies, hot flashes, hormonal changes and mood swings associated with pre, peri and post menopausal bodies. These candid conversations have informed and shaped everything from our product categories to formulations, packaging and beyond.

The health and safety of our customers is our top priority, that’s why all State Of products are vegan, cruelty-free and Leaping Bunny certified. All of our ingredients are ethically and sustainably sourced and free of parabens, sulfates, phthalates, ethanolamines, formaldehyde, talc, mineral or petroleum oils, triclosan, synthetic fragrances and dyes.

In a perfect world, we’d love to just sell you the good stuff inside each bottle—but, well, that’d get pretty messy— instead, all of our packaging has been thoughtfully designed with all primary components being curbside recyclable. Just be sure to remove any pumps from your bottles and rinse before tossing in your bin, as pumps are made from mixed plastics and are not recyclable at this time. (We know, we’re working on it!)
