Our Ingredient Philosophy
We do not add ingredients for marketing purposes. Every botanical in the Ebon Collection was selected because of how it performs on melanin-rich skin specifically — not because it is trending.
We are committed to transparency. If you ever have a question about a specific ingredient, reach out to us at support@houseofmaryland.skin.
