Credo and NextWorld's Story

In the United States, there are only 30 ingredients banned from personal care products while the European Union has banned over 1,400 ingredients. Credo Beauty is addressing this disparity by rigorously identifying harmful ingredients and carrying only clean brands – this company truly cares about what goes on your body. Credo sells products that customers use daily, year after year: it is a company with a clean beauty manifesto.

Creating a Standard for Well-Being
The Credo Clean Standard embodies the company’s complete commitment to beauty, health and well-being. It also serves to connect to a vibrant and rapidly growing ecosystem of clean beauty brands with a new generation of informed consumers.
Credo’s in-store experts help people discover products that deliver both health and beauty for all individual skin types and needs. A “totally personal” customer experience defines Credo, transforming beauty routines with cleaner, healthier products that meet Credo’s high standards.

NextWorld and Beauty
NextWorld’s founding investment in Credo Beauty was driven by our perspective that consumer migration to clean beauty will disrupt the cosmetics sector and our belief that a new, exciting independent retail experience was needed for the clean beauty customer. Credo, and the clean brands that it carries, need investors who can support long term growth during the transition to a healthier and more beautiful future. NextWorld will continue to seek opportunities for investment in this evolution, from retail innovation to supporting the growth of clean beauty brands.
