Thirteen Lune vs Credo Beauty: Which Indie Retailer Fits You?

I'm comparing Thirteen Lune and Credo Beauty - two indie beauty retailers with different missions. Thirteen Lune (founded 2020) focuses on founder-led international brands - now over 160 - across makeup, skincare, hair care, and fragrance, with one LA flagship plus online shopping. Credo Beauty prioritizes clean beauty: every product is vetted against their dirty list, with over 130 brands online and 15 physical stores. Thirteen Lune: inclusive global curation, every price point; US-only shipping; returns need a $7.95 fee within 21 days (unused, unopened, undamaged) Credo dirty list includes aluminum powder, animal-derived ingredients, BHA/BHT, chemical sunscreens, cyclic silicones, EDTA, formaldehyde, parabens, PFAS, and more Credo brands must keep supplier docs, meet MoCRA rules, and run safety, stability, and contaminant testing (heavy metals, PFAS, asbestos in talc) Credo often skews pricier and shipping draws complaints, but returns are more flexible than Thirteen Lune Choose Thirteen Lune to discover indie brands worldwide; choose Credo if clean ingredients and in-person shopping matter most 0:00 Intro and Overview 0:21 Two Retailer Focuses 1:09 Thirteen Lune Basics 2:03 Popular Thirteen Lune Products 3:01 Thirteen Lune Pros 3:48 Thirteen Lune Cons 5:17 Credo Beauty Overview 6:02 Dirty List Ingredients 7:33 Brand Vetting Requirements 8:27 Credo Popular Products 9:02 Credo Pros and Cons 10:26 Final Recommendation #ThirteenLune #CredoBeauty #IndieBeauty #CleanBeauty #BeautyRetailers #MakeupReview #Skincare #GlamourNGlow
