Contains essential amino acids and protects the skin from UV rays, pollutants and free radicals.

Hyaluronic Acid

Attracts and holds water moisture in the skin, holding approximately 1000x its weight in water.

Rosemary Hydrosol

Anti-inflammatory, antibacterial and an effective treatment for acne, eczema, psoriasis and rosacea.

Radish Root Ferment Filtrate

The Elate Standard

Ethical ingredients

All of our ingredients are vegan and cruelty-free. We follow the EU standards for safety (the most stringent on the planet) and source our ingredients from fair-trade and ethical sources.

Sustainable packaging

Over 95% of our packaging is reusable, recyclable or plantable—and we’re working on the other 5%. Our vision: To create a world without single-use cosmetics packaging.

Responsible marketing

We believe beauty is inclusive. By representing diversity in our marketing, we can empower beauty in all its shapes and shades, enhancing confidence and reducing overconsumption.

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.

Cant say enough good things about it! I’ve used it for over a year now and it adds just the perfect amount of moisture to my skin and really helps my makeup stay put all day long!

Refreshing and feels so good

Like the other reviewers, I really like this one. It's more like a serum and the skin drinks it up helping foundation stay longer. Love the slightly dewy finish.

Believe the hype!

Okay, this was lower on the list of things I wanted to try from Elate, I kind of thought, "how great can it really be?" Well. I finally decided to buy a bottle because my skin has been getting really irritated by some other products, and I AM SOLD. This primer smells fresh and goes on airy-light, leaving my skin velvety and smooth. Since I've been pretty inconsistent about using makeup primers when wearing makeup in the past, I can't say for sure if it's a game changer for that purpose, but I can say that my sensitive skin feels GREAT when I apply it and I now love it as an overnight treatment option (and if I'm being completely honest, I'm also just wearing it sans-makeup today because I couldn't resist). Believe the hype, this one's a winner! <3
