The claim, plainly

LOLI Beauty is the only beauty company that discloses every ingredient and its percentage level on its product labels.

Assessment

Tina Hedges claimed on March 3, 2025, that LOLI Beauty was the only beauty company to disclose every ingredient and its percentage level on its product labels. However, multiple commercial beauty brands had publicly implemented 100% full-formula percentage disclosures directly on product packaging well before March 2025. Specifically, skincare brand Good Molecules launched its 'Nothing to Hide' packaging in 2020, printing a complete table listing every ingredient and its exact percentage on outer packaging across mass retail (audited by cosmetic chemists in 2022 and distributed nationwide in Ulta Beauty and Target by 2023). Additionally, Japanese beauty brand Chifure has printed exact percentage breakdowns for all functional and base ingredients on its packaging and inserts since 1968. Because LOLI Beauty was not unique in disclosing full ingredient percentages on product packaging, the claim is false.

Good Molecules introduced its 'Nothing to Hide' packaging in 2020, printing a complete breakdown of every ingredient and its exact percentage directly on product cartons, as verified in independent chemist audits in January 2022 and retail distribution reporting in 2023.
Japanese mass-market brand Chifure has maintained a published policy printing exact quantitative percentages for 100% of formula ingredients on packaging and product inserts since 1968.
