The Noble Blacklist: 500+ Toxic Grooming Ingredients Banned by Noble

We Don’t Just Say Clean—We Live It

In an industry overloaded with harmful chemical-laced products, mysterious “fragrance blends,” and fillers no one can pronounce, Noble made a bold decision:

We created a Blacklist of over 500 ingredients that we will never allow in our products.

Why? Because grooming shouldn’t come at the cost of your health. And because you deserve a better product—one built on trust, transparency, and real performance.

🧪 What Is the Noble Blacklist?

The Noble Blacklist is our uncompromising list of over 500 ingredients that are permanently banned from all Noble products. Each banned ingredient falls into at least one of these categories:

• Toxic or Linked to Long-Term Health Risks (e.g. parabens, formaldehyde releasers)

• Harsh on Skin, Scalp, or Beard (e.g. sulfates, synthetic alcohols)

• Endocrine Disruptors or Potential Carcinogens (e.g. phthalates)

• Unnecessary Fillers or Petrochemicals that dilute performance

We reviewed every ingredient with skin experts, chemists, barbers, and regulatory data sources to protect what matters most—you.

👑 Why We Built the List: It’s Personal

The idea for the Blacklist wasn’t born in a lab. It was born through experience and backed by science.

Ryan Dietiker, a licensed cosmetologist and barbershop owner, saw firsthand how industry-standard products irritated clients’ skin, clogged pores, or delivered poor results.

Together with Michael Haddad—the architect of modern Beard Butter and our Chief Innovation Officer—Noble made a promise:

“If it’s not good enough for our skin, our families, or our clients, it doesn’t make the cut.”
— Michael Haddad, CIO
