Our Commitment to Clean Beauty + Conscious Wellness

Our philosophy has always been that true wellness begins within, and that what we put on our skin, what we breathe in, how we nourish ourselves through diet and lifestyle, and how we care for our planet are all vital pieces of that puzzle.

Every product, ritual, and sensory detail at Citron is thoughtfully chosen to support your skin’s health, your inner balance, and our environment.

Choosing Product Lines with Purpose

We partner exclusively with skincare lines that meet our high standards for purity, performance, and transparency. Each brand we carry must be both results-driven and rooted in integrity, blending the power of nature with the precision of modern skincare innovation. This means clean, non-toxic ingredients that deliver visible benefits without compromising your health.

We spend extensive time researching products before bringing them into the spa. That includes reviewing ingredient lists, manufacturing practices, and ethics to ensure every formula aligns with our holistic values.

There have been major, well-known brands we’ve considered carrying, until deeper research revealed that a key ingredient was under FDA scrutiny for potential cancer risks.

The moment we uncover even a shadow of doubt, we choose not to move forward. Each ingredient list is carefully reviewed by myself and our team of holistic estheticians and health coaches. Together, we decide what earns a place at our spa.

Locally Sourced Herbs + Botanicals

Many of the herbal blends we use in treatments, such as rosemary, lemon balm, chamomile, and calendula, come from local farms and herbalists here in Rhode Island and throughout New England.

By sourcing locally, we:

• Support small growers who prioritize sustainable, organic cultivation

• Reduce our carbon footprint

• Deliver fresher, more potent botanicals to your skin

These herbs not only nourish the skin but also connect you to the rhythms of the seasons and our local community.

We love sourcing from Farmacy Herbs in Providence, who grow their botanicals on a beautiful farm in East Greenwich. One of our holistic estheticians and massage therapists has attended their summer herbalism camp, and it’s such a knowledgeable, inspiring community to be part of.

For me personally, it’s deeply therapeutic to handcraft our herbal oils, hydrosols, and mask powders, the slow process and the beautiful aromas that fill my space bring me so much joy.

Why Ingredients Matter: The Bigger Picture

What we put on our skin doesn’t just stay there, it gets absorbed into the body and can impact our overall well-being. Unfortunately, the U.S. currently allows over 1,300 cosmetic ingredients banned or restricted in the UK and EU.

This difference in regulation highlights why we take such a proactive approach in choosing what touches your skin. We avoid questionable ingredients such as parabens, formaldehyde-releasing agents, synthetic fragrance, and phthalates, focusing instead on nutrient-rich plant oils, minerals, and natural actives that truly support skin health.

The Air We Breathe: Beyond Skincare

Clean beauty extends beyond skincare; it includes the environment we create for both guests and our team. The cleaning products used throughout the spa and even in your home can have just as much of an impact on your wellness as your moisturizer.

We choose eco-friendly, non-toxic cleaning products for our weekly cleanings and fragrance-free laundry solutions that purify our space without leaving behind harsh fumes or residues. We believe that a clean spa should not only look and smell fresh, it should feel healthy, too.

I also practice this at home, choosing the cleanest possible cleaning products, candles, and home aromas. It’s amazing how much lighter and calmer the air feels when we remove unnecessary chemicals from our space.

A Holistic Approach to Beauty + Wellness

Every decision we make, from ingredient sourcing to how we maintain the air quality in our spa, is guided by our intention to nurture your body and mind in the cleanest, most conscious way possible, because wellness is truly a lifestyle.

I always say that wellness has many pillars, and each piece matters. Clean skincare and body care support your health, but so do your diet, movement, stress management, sleep, relationships, and home environment.

At Citron, we’re here to support you in as many ways as possible, helping you live balanced, radiant, and well.
