Introducing MADE SAFE® Certified Products from Sacred Rituel, along with a Q&A from the company’s Co-Founders, Stephen and Marysia.

Rooted in ancient wisdom and modern science, Sacred Rituel offers skincare designed to nourish the skin and the spirit. With a commitment to purity, sustainability, and whole-body wellness, the brand has earned MADE SAFE® certification across its entire product line.
Why are you proud of your MADE SAFE Certification?
We’re proud of our MADE SAFE certification because it affirms the values Sacred Rituel was built on - integrity, purity, and sustainability. From day one, we set out to craft skincare that nourishes deeply using raw, organic, regeneratively grown botanicals, free from toxins and endocrine disruptors. In a beauty industry where harmful chemicals are still widely used, MADE SAFE validates that our products not only deliver results but protect our customers, future generations, and the planet. This certification is more than a seal - it’s proof that true beauty can be both powerful and safe, inspiring us to keep raising the bar.
Why is third-party validation important?
Third-party validation is essential because, in today’s beauty industry, marketing often outruns ingredient integrity. Too many brands cut corners—using cheap, pesticide-grown, or even harmful ingredients—while spending heavily to market themselves as “clean” and “green,” leaving consumers with little way to discern truth from trend.
MADE SAFE certification changes that. It ensures transparency, accountability, and trust by confirming that our products meet the highest standards for safety and sustainability—free from toxins, endocrine disruptors, and other harmful substances.
For Sacred Rituel, this validation isn’t just a seal; it’s an affirmation of the values we built our brand on in 2019: creating potent, organic, and regenerative skincare that delivers results without compromising human or planetary health. Third-party certification empowers conscious consumers to make choices they can trust and ensures brands like ours remain fully accountable to the promises we make.
Why did you start Sacred Rituel?
Sacred Rituel was born from one extraordinary product: our Sacred Serum. As a renowned herbalist, I had been handcrafting facial oil in my Topanga apothecary, where it quickly became a cult favorite, selling out as fast as I could make it. The results spoke for themselves—friends, family, and customers alike saw their skin transform with a radiance and vitality they hadn’t experienced before.
At the same time, Stephen, after years in advertising, was seeking a purpose-driven path—one that could make a tangible, positive impact. Together, we saw a gap in the beauty industry: so few brands led with an ingredients-first philosophy, prioritizing raw, organic, regeneratively grown botanicals not only for their safety, but for their unmatched ability to deliver visible results.
We realized we could create something truly different: skincare that heals and transforms using nature’s most potent medicinal plants, while supporting the health of the Earth and her soils. Sacred Rituel became our way to share these transformative products with more people—to offer beauty that’s as good for the planet as it is for your skin, while raising the standard of what “clean beauty” truly means.
How are your products different from conventional skincare?
Sacred Rituel is different because we don’t just mask skin issues—we nourish your skin at the cellular level so it can regenerate and thrive. Conventional beauty products often rely on synthetic chemicals, fillers, and preservatives that disrupt hormones and weaken the skin barrier, while offering only surface-level results.
Our formulas are made exclusively with raw, organic, cold-pressed oils and botanicals—never heated, so every vitamin, antioxidant, and phyto-nutrient remains intact and bioavailable. Sacred Serum alone delivers 28 botanical superfoods rich in natural retinol, collagen-boosting compounds, and antioxidants that combat oxidative stress, the leading cause of aging and sun damage.
This potent nutrition quickly calms inflammation, evens tone, softens fine lines, and revives radiance—often within days. Lightweight and fast-absorbing, Sacred Serum adapts to all skin types, protecting by day and repairing by night, especially when paired with our hydrating Sacred Rose Mist for a complete ritual.
What’s one thing you’d never do as a maker of better products?
We will never compromise health, integrity, or the Earth in the name of beauty. That means no pesticides, no synthetics, no artificial fragrances, and absolutely no ingredients that aren’t certified organic or proven to enhance the skin’s health. For us, this isn’t just a brand promise—it’s who we are.
Long before certifications like MADE SAFE® set standards, we held ourselves to a higher bar, ensuring every product reflects the values we want to see in the world: safety, transparency, and environmental stewardship. We believe beauty should heal, not harm, and we’ll never cut corners or follow trends that undermine that mission. Our choices as a brand mirror our beliefs as humans, and that will never change.
What do you wish shoppers thought about more?
We wish shoppers thought more deeply about the ripple effect of every product they use—on their bodies, and on the planet. What we put on our skin doesn’t just sit there; it’s absorbed into our bloodstream, and eventually flows into our waterways, soil, and food system. We live in a closed-loop world where every choice we make influences the health of the whole.
For me, this is deeply personal. I lost my mother, a vibrant entrepreneur and style icon, to skin cancer on her scalp in 2025. I believe the chemicals in the beauty products she used—combined with sun exposure—contributed to her illness. It’s avoidable, and it’s why I’m so passionate about educating others on the importance of certified-safe ingredients.
What’s the one product you can’t live without?
The one product we can’t live without is Sacred Serum—our original, best-selling formula and the heart of Sacred Rituel. It’s more than skincare; it’s an all-in-one ritual that heals, protects, and transforms your skin from the very first application. This golden, nutrient-dense formula delivers instant radiance, smoothness, and vitality, while protecting against environmental stressors and even offering a natural SPF boost.
Loved equally by women and men, Sacred Serum is designed to simplify and elevate any routine. For men especially, it serves as a one-step solution to dryness, irritation, and undernourished skin. On a deserted island—or anywhere—we could survive with just this: radiant, healthy skin that feels as good as it looks, powered by nature’s most potent botanicals. It’s skincare, sun care, and self-care in one bottle.
What do you do to live a healthier life?
Sacred Rituel was born from my lifetime of herbal study and our shared deep connection to the Earth. For me, health is rooted in simplicity and co-creation with nature. My daily ritual includes drinking medicinal teas, meditating, and listening to the plants that inspire our formulations. “The plants are my teachers. They guide not just our products, but how I live my life.”
For Stephen, balance as a husband, father, and entrepreneur comes through consistent movement and connection. He prioritizes exercise in nature, time to nurture relationships, and a daily practice of meditation and stretching. “Time in nature isn’t just restorative,” he shares. “It’s where I find creativity, clarity, and the energy to meet our customers’ needs while continuing to innovate.”
Together, we believe that living in harmony with nature—through daily practices that nourish the body, mind, and spirit—keeps us grounded and energized to create products that truly reflect those same values.
