PRODUCT TRANSPARENCY

On its product pages, ILIA provides detailed product descriptions and usage instructions. Ingredients are listed, and in some cases, clinical test results are shared.

What is not disclosed on product pages are product-specific production countries, supplier information, raw material origins, or batch-based traceability. Production countries are only listed collectively in the FAQs, not per individual product. As a result, customers cannot determine where the specific purchased product was manufactured.

PROCESS TRANSPARENCY

Most information is grouped on general information pages. While ingredient lists are detailed on product pages, there is no product-specific traceability. Customers cannot determine where their individual product was produced based on the available information.
