Matte Pressed Powder
A pressed powder that moisturizes the skin? We did the unthinkable. Thanks to Vitis vinifera, our Pressed Foundation moisturizes while evening out skin tone, all with a natural finish. Vitis vinifera is a grape extract 50 times more potent than vitamin E and 20 times more potent than vitamin C, protecting your skin from environmental pollutants and repairing collagen. Brush on for full coverage. Ideal for oily, combination and sensitive skin. Your Pressed Foundation will fill our Essential Palette, or half of our Capsule Palette - leaving room to add the rest of your beauty ritual products.

FAQs
Our ingredients are about 75% organic. We strive to make our ingredients as organic as possible but will always choose fair trade over organic if we are unable to have both. It is important to us that every person involved in the making of our cosmetics is treated ethically and fairly.
We work closely with a green certified, fair trade manufacturer in China - where the bamboo is water processed and never chemically treated.
As bamboo is more readily available within Asia, we believe it is more climate-friendly (or sustainable) to have our products assembled where it is harvested, and then shipped to us.
Our bamboo supplier was carefully selected based on their FSC Certification. The Forest Stewardship Council Certification is a rigorous process, which includes an individual assessment and yearly audits.
We use a vegan-based carnauba wax that is derived for the leaves of the Copernicia prunifera tree.
Different from the palm grown and harvested in South East Asia, this powder is extracted from the leaves of the tree and does not require the tree to be brought down. Some ingredients, such as Stearic Acid, are also palm based and are supplied by RSPO certified suppliers who are regularly audited. You can learn more about the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil here.
All Elate packaging is elligible to be returned to us for proper recycling and disposal. Just clean your empty containers and send them back to us, we'll take care of the rest.
