Switching to clean beauty can feel overwhelming.
Find products and brands you can trust that actually
perform are two of the biggest roadblocks.
At Citrine, we simplify the process with expertly
curated brands, thoughtful standards, and
personalized recommendations designed to help you
transition confidently—without rebuilding your
entire routine overnight.
Need to know how to begin your clean beauty routine? We made that simple. We created Citrine to remove the endless trial-and-error and confusion that often comes with switching to clean beauty. Instead of sorting through thousands of products on your own, our team carefully curated a selection based on ingredient integrity, performance, real client feedback and most importantly an ever evolving set of standards. Whether you’re looking for a simple swap or a completely new routine, we’re here to help make the process feel approachable not overwhelming.
Every brand we carry goes through extensive ingredient review, testing, and a long-term evaluation process and only a small percentage make it in our store.
We evaluate products based on formulation quality, ingredient context, performance, sourcing, and how products function as a complete system unlike other retailers who simply identify whether a single ingredient appears on a list.
Clean beauty should still deliver visible results. We prioritize formulas that balance thoughtful ingredients with real-world performance with an emphasis on luxurious self-care experiences.
From skincare and makeup to wellness and body care, we curate products designed to support your routine as a whole. We believe that's more impactful than just one category at a time.
As the fields of science, product development, and toxicology innovate- possibility expands.
We believe both efficacy and safety are key to building the best beauty curation.
Melissa Lenberg’s journey began with a love for
beauty and a deeper desire to feel good from the
inside out. At just 15, she stepped into the world of cosmetics, enamored by artistry and transformation. But at 18, a diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis shifted everything. Rather than surrendering to limitation, she followed her calling to Los Angeles to pursue makeup artistry, where she became immersed in the holistic, wellness-driven culture of California clean living.
As Melissa studied the connection between ingredients and wellbeing, she began to eliminate toxins, embrace whole-body rituals, and redefine what beauty meant. The results were profound... improved energy, radiant skin, a clearer mind.

How are you different from other clean beauty retailers?
At Citrine, every product is esthetician-curated and vetted for both safety and performance. We go beyond “clean” by prioritizing clinically effective ingredients, thoughtful formulations, and real client results—so you don’t have to guess what works.
WHAT SPECIFIC INGREDIENTS ARE BANNED IN YOUR STORE?
We take a thoughtful, ingredient-conscious approach to everything we carry. Our standards consider not only individual ingredients, but also formulation, quality, sourcing, and how a product performs as a whole. Every product is carefully vetted before it earns a place at Citrine.
WHAT IS YOUR RETURN POLICY?
Because of the nature of our products, all sales are final and we do not accept returns or exchanges. We want you to feel confident before you buy, which is why we offer personalized guidance to help you find products that are right for your skin, preferences, and goals.
