Drunk Elephant is committed to using only clean ingredients by banning what the company calls the “suspicious six”: silicones, chemical screens, sensitizing colorants and perfumes, sodium lauryl sulfate, essential oils, and drying alcohols. Their renowned Pekee Bar (“pekee” translates to “the one” in Swahili) has an unusually low pH of 6.51 (as opposed to other soaps, which tend to have a pH around 9), which prevents the product from drying or stripping the skin of its protective barrier. The Pekee Bar is a multitasking soap that cleanses, tones, clarifies, balances, and moisturizes.
