Clean skincare. Redefined.
ABOUT ETHYST®
ETHYST® is a skincare brand developed by licensed esthetician and herbalist Amber Champagne built for people who are done guessing and ready for skincare that actually respects skin biology.
We don’t follow trends.
We don’t rely on marketing shortcuts.
And unlike most of the "clean beauty industry" we don’t use the word clean loosely.
Using our proprietary Champagne Standard™, ETHYST® does not allow over 3200 ingredients commonly found in "clean skincare" today.
We are also 100x cleaner than the U.S. Legal Minimum and independently certified as endocrine-, neurologically, and microbiome safe through CertClean®, the most rigorous third party clean beauty certification there is.
ETHYST® was created around a simple belief: strong skin works better than reactive skin.
That means ultra-clean, effective formulas designed to support the skin barrier, microbiome, and long-term function and lasting results.
Why ETHYST® is different
- Barrier-first formulations grounded in real skin science
- Microbiome-safe, endocrine-safe, neurologically-safe standards
- Over 3,200 ingredients intentionally excluded under our proprietary Champagne Standard™
- CertClean® Certified
- Designed for consistency, not overuse
Our products are developed to work with the skin—not against it—and to perform the same way on day 90 as they did on day one.
Who ETHYST® is for
ETHYST® is for people who:
- want fewer products, not more
- care how something works
- are thoughtful about what they put on and in their bodies
- value results that last
- expect transparency, not hype
For Selected Retail Partners
ETHYST® partners with a small group of aligned retailers.
Our products are designed for stores that:
- prioritize education and integrity
- values strong repeat customers over impulse sales
- want strong margins without constant discounting
- carry brands that stand up to scrutiny
We work best with retailers who see skincare as wellbeing, not category filler.
The ETHYST® Approach
We focus on systems, not symptoms.
Clear skin is a byproduct.
Resilient skin is the goal.
ETHYST® products are designed to be used together, consistently, and intentionally because skincare works best when it's optimized to assist the natural systems of the skin.
Welcome to truly clean skincare and lasting results
If you’re ready to stop cycling products and start building strong skin, you’re in the right place.
FAQs
What is the ETHYST® Subscription?
ETHYST® Subscription is our skincare auto-refill club designed to make glowing skin effortless. You’ll get 26% off your ETHYST® Trinity System, early access to new launches, and glowing, radiant skin on repeat without the stress or change of running out.
Why is ETHYST® different?
Using our proprietary clean benchmark, the ETHYST® Champagne Standard™ , we go beyond the “clean beauty” requirements set by retailers like Sephora, Ulta, Credo and most of the clean beauty industry.
We deeply respect the progress those platforms have made, but as "clean" has become a marketing term and brands have become more and more greenwashed, ETHYST® decided to take it even further by focusing not just on exclusions, but on long-term skin compatibility, transparency, and formula integrity.
ETHYST® is 100x cleaner than the U.S. Legal Minimum, Endocrine-, Neurologically, and Microbiome Safe, and CertClean® Certified.
❌ First, What’s Not In It
Over 3200 ingredients commonly found in "clean beauty" formulations today.
No dyes
No PEGs
No parabens
No polyquats
No silicones
No drying alcohols
No phthalates or sulfates
No ethoxylated ingredients
No ragrance or essential oils
No petroleum derivatives
Here's how we go further:
- No essential oils or natural fragrances, even those allowed by Credo. We’re fragrance-free, full stop
- No ethoxylated ingredients (PEGs, etc.), regardless of sourcing or testing
- No masking agents or ambiguous “parfum” ingredients
- Every ingredient serves a skin-supportive purpose, not just trend appeal
- Microbiome-friendly and barrier-safe by design, not just by claim
- Sustainability without compromise: thoughtful ingredient sourcing and functional packaging that protects product integrity
🔍 We’re transparent about every single ingredient
- No hidden fragrance blends, masking agents, or vague marketing claims
- Each formula is designed for microbiome safety, barrier support, and long-term skin health... not just short-term feel-good effects
- All ingredient lists are readily available.
✨ We make products that are truly skin-compatible
That means every ingredient serves a purpose: to support, not stress, your skin.
We don’t rely on trendy actives or aggressive exfoliants unless they’re backed by science and balanced with calming, nourishing components.
You can think of it like this:
Other clean standards are gold. The ETHYST® standard is Champagne level.

What's your return policy?
RETURN POLICY
ONLINE PURCHASES
Unopened, unused and undamaged products (that we accept exchanges on; please see what we do not accept exchanges on below) purchased online at champagneapothecary.com, may be exchanged within 14 days of the original purchase date with the original receipt. All returns will be refunded for the equal value of the original purchase price in the form of an exchange only. We keep record of all purchases digitally. If a transaction cannot be verified, an exchange will be denied.
Additionally, the customer will be responsible for any shipping fees when making an online exchange. Champagne Apothecary does not pay for shipping charges to exchange any items. All online purchases will be exchanged for the equal value of the original purchase price in the form of exchange only.
Lastly, if an order is placed "accidentally", we require a re-order to refund the original order and we charge a $20 processing fee to cover the costs that we incur for processing both the payment and the refund on the order. No exceptions.
WHAT WE DO NOT ACCEPT EXCHANGES ON
Champagne Apothecary does not offer exchanges on any Skincare products, DIY, custom (including, but not limited to print on demand apparel, tote bags, notebooks, stickers, coffee mugs etc.), opened or used products, services, final sale items, or gift certificates. NO EXCEPTIONS.
Additionally, we do not accept exchanges on any product that has shifted in it's container during shipping (i.e. appearing to be "half-full" etc.). Lotion/Cream/Scrub/Liquid/Gel products and the like tend to shift during transport and since Lotion/Cream/Scrub/Liquid/Gel products are packaged by weight and often in containers that are larger than the product's weight, there is room for the product to shift and condense potentially making it appear "half-full" when, in fact, it is not. Since this is a common occurrence in the skincare industry, we do not accept returns of this nature. No exceptions.
CHARGEBACKS
All purchases will be marked as coming from CHMPGNEAPOTHECARY on your credit card statement.
Before deciding to initiate any form of chargeback, please speak with us first. We keep very detailed records and documentation of all purchases. If a chargeback is initiated and the bank finds we are not responsible after reviewing our records and documentation, the customer will be charged the $15.00 fee Champagne Apothecary is charged by our payment processor for processing the chargeback.
