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.
Yes, we offer sample kits of all of our foundation and concealers so that you can find the perfect shade before committing. Our sample options can be found on our Sample Kits page here, and will come packaged in recyclable/reusable aluminum tins. If you are unsure of your matching shade, we encourage you to purchase a sample size before committing to a full size product.

Lovely balm shades
This is a very nice lip balm, with a good bit of colour (sheer, but not too sheer). I did find the peach shade to have a bit of a smell to it that I don't like, so probably wouldn't get it again but the clear and the Poise shades are very nice. I use clear before bed, and like the Poise on its own or with a lip colour for extra moisture. Look forward to trying more shades when I can justify buying more.

Good but not great for me
Like this product, but I don't feel like it lasts on my lips so I have to constantly reapply.

The best!
This is the best balm! Love the formula and the shade! Poise is my absolute favourite! It’s so pretty!

Better Balm
I love this balm! It's super soft and subtle and has a nice light tint. It also keep my lips nice and soft, especially in the cold months!!

Challenging in practice
Good color and texture but hydration faded quickly and color smeared beyond lips.
