A Clean Eating trend started in England in 2011. It sought after healthy ingredients with no harmful additives, and full transparency in labeling. This quickly started the global Clean Beauty movement.
Sephora soon created a Clean Beauty category, and Gwyneth Paltrow also published a book dedicated to Clean Beauty products.
Clean Beauty is now a new global beauty standard! As more consumers favor simplicity, safety, and transparency, Vogue magazine even stated that “Natural” will give way to “Clean”!
A CHOICE FRIENDLY TO THE SKIN, FRIENDLY TO THE WORLD
TJ Enterprise, a Taiwan-based cosmetics manufacturer, has invested great efforts in its Clean Transformation. We are now able to bring these new clean products to your brand for its own Clean Innovation.
TJ eliminated talc in all its formulas first.
All factories are 100% free of talc.
Second, TJ uses strictly palm oil certified by the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) for all formulas, as part of its efforts on sustainability.
All factories are 100% RSPO palm oil.
Third, it has developed a whole new generation of clean formulas for eyeshadow, powder foundation, blush, bronzer, and highlighter.
AT TJ, TO BE CLEAN MEANS TO REDUCE
As our researchers challenge every ingredient, we discover that a higher quality powder formula does not need more ingredients. Thus they compiled over 3,000 ingredients that serve no essential functions.
This resulted in TJ’s ‘no no’ list of ingredients. We pledge that these ingredients will not be used in our products.
TJ’s clean principle: Start with less for healthier skin.
Today, TJ offers formulas with much fewer ingredients while achieving high performance based on 6 tests :
Pigmentation
Buildable
Fineness
Smoothness
Lasting
Softness
Each test has a clear, concrete definition and criteria in TJ’s research and development process.
CLEAN IS SAFER
We care about every ingredient. Therefore TJ’s new clean powder formulas and raw materials comply with the ingredient blacklists of 8 influential government regulations and 6 organizations.
FDA
Canada
California Proposition 65
Australia
EU Reach

CLEAN RAW MATERIALS
Furthermore, the clean powders are 100% vegan and certified cruelty free by the Leaping Bunny.
TJ researchers did more than just eliminating ingredients that might harm your skin. They also adhere to stringent ethical standards by :
Replacing pigments that are of animal origin (i.e. carmine).
Using minerals from suppliers practicing fair trade and no use of child labor. The minerals include mica, synthetic mica, sericite, and titanium dioxide.
No use of conflict minerals.
TJ’s powders excludes over 3,000 ingredients in total
that are suspected harmful or toxic to the skin and to the environment such as Talc, Parabens, Mineral oil, Petrolatum, Propylene Glycol, Polyethylene Glycols, Phthalates, EDTA, Synthetic Fragrances, and more.
WORK HARDER FOR CHILDREN’S HEALTH
The health of the users of all ages is our top concern. Since the packaging comes in contact with both adults and kids, we take the safety of its production process very seriously.
TJ has dedicated a team of engineers that monitors the latest regulations worldwide. They diligently test all decorations on the packaging to ensure compliance.
Most frequently seen decorations which TJ controls includes the following :
Ink
Metalization
PVC
Glass
Textile and leather (making of and colorants)
Porcelain
PET raw materials and additives
Jewelry and more.
The great extent to which TJ controls the safety of the packaging can be demonstrated by the number and the complexity of the regulations below that TJ adheres to :
Oregon CHCC (Chemicals of High Concerns to Children) 68, USA
Vermont CHCC 86, USA
Washington CHCC 85, USA
Main CHCC 36, USA
TPCH (Toxics in Packaging Clearinghouse), USA
CPSIA (The Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act), USA
PPWD (Directive of Packaging and Packaging Waste), 94/62/EC, EU
RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances), 2015/863, EU
REACH, XVII, EC 1223/2009, EU
CLEAN IS ALSO GREEN
LOW CARBON PRODUCTS
As the Paris Agreement aims to reduce global carbon emissions by half by 2030, more and more global brands have committed to renewable energy and low-carbon footprint.
TJ also feels the same responsibility and has taken several actions:
PRODUCTION PROCESS SIMPLIFIED BY DESIGN
New Hinge
Hinge with metal pins is replaced by click-on assembly to reduce material and power consumption.
No Pan
By developing wet powder direct filling and molding, aluminum pans are no longer needed. Waste is thus less, while recycling is easier and simpler.
OFFER MORE ECO MATERIALS
Expand use of PET
TJ has increased the use of the 100% recyclable PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate) for its packaging. PET also provides a beautiful, crystal clear look for makeup cases. PET can be entirely reused through recycling that is common to our daily lives.
PCR plastics
The PCR materials used by TJ are TUV-certified. TJ offers 85% and 65% of ABS PCR (post-consumption recycled ABS) for all makeup cases. The production is mature and quality is stable and consistent.
GO BEYOND JUST PRODUCTS
In Taiwan, TJ has installed solar panels to embrace green energy and to pursue sustainability. Nowadays, 1/3 of TJ’s power consumption is powered by solar energy.
