Cruelty-Free Product Development Too Faced develops all formulations without animal testing. They use in-vitro (lab-based) testing, safe synthetic alternatives, and existing safety data to check product safety. All suppliers must also follow cruelty-free protocols.

Ingredient Innovation & Formulation Techniques Too Faced is known for creative, sensory-focused formulations such as: ✔ Chocolate-infused formulas Uses cocoa-powder or cocoa-scent molecules in bronzers and eye palettes. ✔ Peach-infused products Scented and tinted formulas using fruit-based aromatic compounds. ✔ High-performance pigments Ultra-fine mica, shimmer, and metallic pigments for intense color payoff. ✔ Plumping lip formulas Uses capsaicin, peptides, or hyaluronic-acid spheres to create lip-plumping effects.

Synthetic Fiber Technology ("Teddy Bear Hair") Too Faced creates vegan, cruelty-free brushes using synthetic bristles. Engineered to feel like natural hair but made without animal fur. Designed for smooth blending, high pickup, and soft feel.

Trend-Driven Product Design Uses market research, social media trends, and influencer feedback. Rapidly experiments with textures (glitter, metallic, matte, satin) to create viral products.

Packaging Techniques Bold, playful packaging using: 3D embossing Custom molds Sweet/fruity themes Decorative palettes Creates strong shelf appeal and brand identity.
