Typology

Typology, founded by Ning Li, provides minimalist and primarily natural skincare products manufactured in France and shipped worldwide. The company emphasizes its core principles of minimalism, safety, naturalness, and transparency in each product.

In its commitment to minimalism, Typology uses only useful ingredients with no unnecessary additions, like fragrances or coloring agents. Its TEN range is specifically designed for sensitive skin and uses a maximum of ten ingredients.

Safety concerns involving ingredient quality or potential environmental impact are thoroughly examined against available scientific data which could potentially blacklist that particular component.

Naturalness is another key principle—each product contains at least 80% naturally derived ingredients according to ISO 16128 standards.

Lastly, Typology's ethos includes rigorous transparency. They readily disclose all their ingredient lists on individual product pages on their website along with detailed information about how these active components affect the skin.

Typology patrons are individuals looking for simple, transparent, and effective natural skincare products. They appreciate the brand's autonomous approach, sourcing sustainable ingredients, and concise formulations. Customers also value the brand's B Corp certification and commitment to society and the environment.

Typology ships through FedEx for a fee of $6.90. Free shipping is available for orders over $60. Delivery time is estimated to be 3 to 5 business days. Customs charges are not included in the shipping fee and are the responsibility of the customer. If the package is not received, customers are advised to check with neighbors or building caretakers. The carrier is responsible for the package once it is handed over, and any decision made by the delivery person is outside of Typology's control. Packages can be delivered directly to mailboxes and do not require a signature. If the address is incomplete or the package is damaged during transport, it may be returned to Typology. Customers have 48 hours to report any problems with their products upon receiving their order.

Typology, a B Corp company dedicated to reducing its carbon footprint, has stated that it cannot accept returns from the US. The decision is made because its sole warehouse is located in Paris, and shipping items across vast distances greatly intensifies environmental impact.
