ARE YOUR PRODUCTS VEGAN?

Our line is 100% vegan with no animal testing whatsever. Our products are tested on many, many different human only faces- We love animals, and so we will always stay cruelty-free.

ARE YOUR PRODUCTS SAFE TO USE DURING PREGNANCY?

The only products we don’t recommend using night nectar or harmony oilduring pregnancy and breastfeeding. All other products should be safe to use, but we do recommend that you consult your physician to be sure these products align with your pregnancy plan.

WHERE DO YOU SOURCE YOUR MATERIALS FROM?

We source our ingredients from within the UK wherever possible to keep transportation to a minimum. When we need ingredients from overseas, we work with Akoma Skincare who source organic ingredients from Fair Trade cooperatives in Ghana, using traditional methods that don't harm the environment. In turn, Akoma helps the local community improve their job prospects, their education and their health.

Many of our ingredients are also food-grade, which means they are safe to consume, because we believe we should only apply a product on our skin that our bodies would be happy to ingest.

SHELF LIFE AND STORAGE

All of our products have a 12-month shelf life, as we do not use any unnatural preservatives at all. We do use naturally preserving oils such as vitamin E, instead of harmful parabens that can mimic the activity of oestrogen in the body’s cells. We always recommend keeping our products out of direct sunlight and at room temperature or below as they will stay fresher for longer.

WHEN IS THE BEST TIME TO APPLY FACIAL OIL? HOW DO I APPLY MY FACIAL OIL AND CAN I WEAR MAKEUP OVER FACIAL OIL?

We get this question A LOT... So we recommend applying our facial oils after cleansing and toning, morning and night. Miracle oil and Harmony oil are usually used as a daytime facial oil however still work brilliantly as an overnight oil. Night Nectar is our intensive overnight facial oil. The facial oils can be used alongside or in place of a moisturizer. With skincare you usually layer products from lightest to heaviest. (i.e toner, serum, moisturizer, oil, balm etc) Your face does not need to be completely dry to apply facial oil, in fact, if your face is slightly damp it will increase fast absorption.You can wear makeup over facial oil. Both Harmony and Miracle oil were formulated with make-up in mind, Let your skin absorb the oils for 3–5 minutes before applying makeup since the oil does need a little time to sink in. If your skin feels oily after 5 minutes you are probably using too much facial oil. If your skin still feels dry and you want more moisture, you are probably not using enough. The oil should absorb fully and not leave any greasy feeling at all. Your skin should feel hydrated, soft and nourished after applying the correct amount. We recommend between 2-5 drops depending on your skin type but adjust according to your suit your own rituals.

WHAT AMOUNT OF THE SALTS FROM THE DETOX SOAK DO I PUT INTO MY BATH WATER?

We suggest using ¼ of the jar of salts each time meaning each jar will last approximately 4-5 baths. This is completely subjective though, so you can use a little more of less if you feel to.

DO YOUR PRODUCTS CONTAIN ANY NUT OILS?

Yes we do, there are nut oils present in our Cleansing Oil, Detox Salt scrub These types of nut oil typically do not irritate people with nut allergies, but we always recommend consulting your doctor first if you have a nut allergy.
