Paraben Free
Parabens are synthetic chemical preservatives, commonly used in beauty products like shampoo, lotion, and deodorants. Parabens can accumulate in your body, and have been linked to hormonal disruption and reproductive problems. In studies of breast cancer patients, parabens have been found in the tissue of cancerous tumors–yikes! If you want to avoid Parabens in your beauty products, keep an eye out for methylparaben, propylparaben, butylparaben, and ethylparaben in the ingredients list.
Phthalate Free
Phthalates are found in toys, electronics, personal care products, plastic wraps, containers, and more. These petroleum based chemicals help soften plastics, and bind fragrances to perfumes, deodorants, creams, and other personal care products. Phthalates are are not chemically bound, meaning they can easily get released into the air, water, or your body, just by using the products as intended. Phthalates have been found to disrupt the endocrine system, which can cause reproductive damage, hormonal imbalances, infertility, mood changes, metabolism changes, and more.

Bamboo
As a member of the grass family, bamboo is one of the fastest growing plants on earth. It requires no irrigation, pesticides or fertilizers to grow, and can be harvested within 3-5 years, as compared to approximately 30+ years for traditional hardwoods. Bamboo is extremely adaptable and produces more oxygen per acre than large tree species, while using a fraction of the water to grow. Its durable and lightweight qualities make bamboo a great alternative for hard wood products!

Worked perfectly. I have sensitive skin and needed a no chemical change. This has been the best product I could hope for. I love it and my skin does too.

Great color, great case, great coverage. I had to guess my shade based on the online pictures, and I was not disappointed. It’s easy to use and not too heavy. I have fair skin and PW2 Pearl was a great shade.

I love that I can wear this powder alone. It’s leaves a very soft finish. I ended up getting the pn2, which is a great option for summer. I would buy again.

I’ve repurchased this powder so many times now so I clearly like it a lot! But I learned the hard way not to order directly from elate. That sounds weird, but when I order from elate my powder arrives cracked, broken, shattered. Then I’m devastated! Every time I order from Earth Hero they package it properly and it never arrives broken. I mean if it did come broken once I wouldn’t even be mad cause I get accidents happen. But Earth Hero just pays more attention to their boxing (never any plastic as well)

This was my first order of this product and I was disappointed to see that the powder was smashed during delivery. No worries though becuase I was immediately sent a powder to replace in the compact. Great customer service! I love the way it goes on and the color is great for my skin tone. Very happy!

Pigmented, smooth and easy to apply, blends and melts into your face beautifully, avoiding that dusty look one can get with powders, and has great staying power. It does cling a bit to dry spots, and the color range needs expanded. As a very fair individual, PN1 is a fine winter shade, but is almost too “white”, and could use a more natural undertone. Shades for more skin colors would be a great thing to see!

I love this powder. It has excellent coverage which can be light or built up. It feels good on my skin. Definitely controls oil and sets foundation well. And the package it so pretty!
