FAQs

Product Information

What makes Prep U products different from other teen personal care products?

Prep U products are carefully formulated with all-natural, plant-based ingredients designed to meet the unique needs of teenagers. We focus on creating products that are effective, eco-friendly, and safe for daily use, without the harsh chemicals found in many conventional personal care products. Did we mention we were the OG of teen boy products?

Are Prep U products suitable for sensitive skin?

Yes! Our products are crafted with natural ingredients known for their gentleness. While they are designed to be suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin, we always recommend doing a patch test first to ensure compatibility.

Do Prep U products help with acne?

Yes, many of our products are formulated with natural ingredients that have antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, making them effective in managing acne. However, as with any skincare regimen, results may vary, and persistent acne should be evaluated by a healthcare professional.

Are Prep U products all natural, really?

Yes! We are always on the hunt for the freshest ingredients to create our products. The key to all natural products is to ensure the products are potent and as fresh as possible.

What is the shelf life of products from Prep U?

Our products are all natural. This does mean that their shelf life may be somewhat lower than traditional beauty products but that's the trade off! The shelf life of our products are 18-24 months.

Do you test on animals?

Absolutely not. We take pride in ensuring that no products are ever tested on animals. We only select ingredients from companies who do not test on animals and when we are in the process of developing new products, we only test them out with human volunteers.  We are Leaping Bunny certified.

All our scents are unisex!

Ingredient Information

How does Prep U select ingredients?

We carefully select ingredients that are found in nature, sensitive on skin, tough on sweat and smells and independently verified to be safe and effective. 

What is a paraben?

Parabens are a preservative used to prevent bacteria growth and are commonly used in deodorants, lotions, lipsticks, shampoos, scrubs, and more. Parabens have been linked to reproductive issues in both men and women, therefore we have never and will never use them in our products. That’s our promise.

Do Prep U products contain parabens?

No.  Our products do no contain parabens, SLS's, phthalates, or any other toxic chemical.

Do your products contain nanoparticles?

No. We do not use any nanoparticle sized ingredients in any of our products as they are bad for all sorts of human systems.

Safety Information

Are Prep U products safe for people with nut allergies?

At Prep U, we understand the importance of safety, especially when it comes to allergies. While many of our products are formulated without common allergens, some products may contain ingredients derived from nuts or facilities that handle nut-based ingredients. We recommend reviewing the ingredient list provided on each product page and consulting with a healthcare provider if you have a nut allergy. Customer safety is our top priority, and we are committed to transparency about the ingredients in our products.

Can Prep U products be used on pets?

Prep U products are specially formulated for human skin and its unique pH balance requirements and are not tested for use on animals. While our all-natural ingredients might seem suitable for pets, we recommend consulting with a veterinarian to choose products specifically designed for the care of your pet’s skin and coat. Safety for our customers and their families, including furry members, is paramount, so it's best to use products vetted for animals when it comes to pet care.
