Elate Beauty - Vegan & Cruelty-Free Beauty

Revive Your Rituals

Skin-first Makeup Removing Balm

Remaking everyday routines into rituals

If you’re anything like us, you don’t buy into the notion of beauty for beauty’s sake. You’re already confident in who you are and what you stand for—makeup is just an expression of that. An act of self-love. A ritual of intention. And we happen to think the more intentional we are about what’s in our makeup kits, the more consciously we’ll buy. And the more consciously we buy, the more sustainable our future. Will you join us?

Capsule Beauty

Less, but better

Our beauty mantra? Less, but better. Forget the impulse purchases that lead to overconsumption, buyer’s remorse and full landfills. We’re for intentional beauty bags that minimize waste and maximize your joy. We call it capsule beauty, and we can’t wait to help you curate yours.

About Elate

It started with everyday rituals

With over 20 years of experience in the beauty industry, our founder Melodie envisioned a healthier future for the industry—one unmarred by shame-based marketing and single-use packaging. One that embraced inclusivity and advocated for sustainability. One that recognized the potential for everyday rituals to make a global impact. Elate? Let’s just call it Melodie’s vision in the making, all made possible by a team of fellow beauty-obsessed, sustainability advocates.

Recycling Program

Empty, clean, mail, repeat

We believe we’re each responsible for the waste we create—and that includes every foundation, mascara and lipstick we make at Elate.
