Founded by Tiffany Masterson in 2012, Drunk Elephant revolutionized the beauty space by committing to biocompatible skincare. The brand's philosophy centers on eliminating the 'Suspicious 6'—essential oils, drying alcohols, silicones, chemical sunscreens, fragrances/dyes, and SLS—which they believe are at the root of almost every skin issue. By combining highly effective synthetic and natural ingredients, Drunk Elephant formulates products that are easily recognized and absorbed by the body. Known for their iconic Virgin Marula Oil and unique 'skincare smoothie' mixing approach, Drunk Elephant empowers users to reset their skin to a healthy, balanced, and radiant state.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the 'Suspicious 6' that Drunk Elephant avoids? +
Drunk Elephant strictly formulates without essential oils, drying alcohols, silicones, chemical sunscreens, fragrances/dyes, and SLS. The brand believes these six ingredients are the primary culprits behind skin sensitization, breakouts, and imbalances.
What is a Drunk Elephant skincare smoothie? +
Because Drunk Elephant products are silicone-free and highly biocompatible, they are designed to be mixed together in the palm of your hand and applied all at once. This 'smoothie' method saves time and allows you to customize your daily routine based on what your skin needs.
Is Drunk Elephant suitable for sensitive skin? +
Yes. By eliminating common irritants and focusing on biocompatible, pH-balanced ingredients, Drunk Elephant's entire line is highly effective for resetting, calming, and strengthening sensitive or reactive skin.
