FAQs
What is the philosophy behind Flower Cloud Beauty?
We are a team of skincare enthusiasts who've partnered with expert chemists dedicated to creating high-performance formulations for sensitive and breakout-prone skin. After over a decade of meticulous research, testing, and refinement—both in-house and through client feedback—we’ve developed a line that balances efficacy with unparalleled gentleness. Our products address fundamental skincare needs while targeting concerns like breakouts and visible aging—without compromise.
Are your products cruelty-free and vegan?
Absolutely. We are proudly cruelty-free and 100% vegan, aligning with our commitment to ethical, responsible skincare.
Are your products considered "clean"?
We define "clean" as rigorously vetted, science-backed, and free from unnecessary irritants or harmful additives. Our formulations adhere to strict safety standards, including third-party testing and Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP).
That said, "clean beauty" is an unregulated term, often misused for marketing. Instead of vague claims, we prioritize transparency. If you have specific ingredient concerns, please reach out—we’re happy to provide clarity.
Do you use natural or organic ingredients?
We incorporate natural and organic ingredients when they meet our standards for safety and efficacy. However, we don’t subscribe to the myth that "natural" always equals better. Many plant-derived compounds can irritate or congest the skin, while carefully selected synthetics often offer superior stability and results.
Our approach is rooted in science, not trends. Explore our Yes/No lists to learn which botanicals we champion—and which we avoid.
What is the correct order of application?
After cleansing:
- Toner: Apply liquid toners via pad to refine and clarify.
- Moisturizer: Nourish dry or sensitive areas first.
- Targeted Actives: Layer specialized treatments (e.g., oil-controlling ingredients like niacinamide in the T-zone, or brightening agents like Vitamin C where needed).
Pro tip: Always tailor placement to your skin’s needs—strategic application enhances results.
How do your acid-based formulations work?
Our acids are meticulously calibrated for gentle yet visible results—no stinging, just radiant skin. Each serves a distinct purpose:
- Glycolic Acid (Glow Toner): Dissolves dead cells for smooth, luminous texture.
- Salicylic + Mandelic Acids (Pore Perfect Toner): Decongests pores with anti-inflammatory benefits.
- Lactic Acid (Smoothing Solution): Softens keratin buildup, ideal for rough bumps.
- Tranexamic Acid (Fade Serum): Reduces redness and hyperpigmentation while reinforcing the barrier.
- Azelaic Acid (Spot Solver): Combats bacteria to prevent and treat breakouts.
Are your products suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes. Every formula is designed with sensitivity in mind—fragrance-free, non-comedogenic, and clinically tested for gentleness. Some products are specifically tailored for extra sensitive skin.
Are your products fungal-acne (Malassezia) safe?
While many of our products are Malassezia-friendly, those prone to fungal acne should avoid formulations containing natural oils, which can exacerbate overgrowth.
- Avoid or use with caution: Cleansing Creme, Moisture Serum, Milk, and Creme, 7 Seeds Oil Blend
- Malassezia-discouraging options: Clear Up Serum, Serum A, Serum B
