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.

Great light coverage!
I really like this foundation. I will admit, it’s very sheer, so it’s not like most foundations I’m used to because of the light coverage. That being said, it’s really nice to apply and I don’t have to use too much to get coverage across my whole face. It does a great job at evening out my skin tone before using concealer (which I really appreciate because sometimes concealer on bare skin can be a little patchy and noticeable). I suspect this product will last ages!

Moisturizing, clean, perfect!
This product is amazing! I have always really struggled with products for my face because my chin and cheeks gets very dry and flaky and I have extremely sensitive skin, but this foundation is moisturizing and feels good when I put it on! It reduces my issues with dryness, blends so well, and makes me feel confident. I’m so excited to try more elate products!

Found my perfect shade
I ordered the sample set for the lighter shades, since I was unsure what shade to get. I decided to get the prep primer sample as well, which I am really happy about because I ended up really loving this primer. Shade RN1 matches my skin tone the best, and I am excited to buy my first full bottle of this Refresh tint!! The formula is so smooth and blends perfectly with the multi use brush.

Thank you for your review, Madi! We are thrilled that our Refresh Foundation has been the perfect addition to your sustainable beauty collection. ❤️

Great product
I like this foundation a lot. My skin feels healthier after wearing it rather than dried out. It is not thick coverage which I also appreciate. It’s nice to use it to even out the skin tone but not hide my whole face. I recommend.
