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!

I bought this foundation for my mom and she absolutely loved it! I also tried it out because we are same skin tone. The foundation provides great coverage, it’s moisturizing and it lasts all day. We didn’t have any issues with product hardening. Also, I contacted the actual Elate company for color matching and they were very helpful with color matching 🙂

Hi Trisha! The Elate Pressed Powder Foundation does have a refillable aspect- but the Creme Foundation does not. However, the container is glass and can be reused, recycled, or sent back to us at EH to be recycled when empty!

I have purchased a few things now from Elate on the Earthhero website, some I like and some I don’t. Unfortunately, this Uplift Foundation pretty quickly hardened to a thick paste in the container and takes a bit of manpower to smooth it on. I am only able to pat it under my eyes (i’ll get to the Concealer part in a minute), but have given up on a full face application. It just doesn’t seem to blend in well and I can see some clumps on my face. I am not new to clean and green products and usually can work out the kinks associated with non-commercial products, but I was hoping for a more premium product that would act like a full coverage foundation, and ended up with a product that is difficult to cover my face with. Basically, the same thing happened with the Creme Concealer. I guess I’ll go over to that product and leave a similar review.

Both the color and the texture are pasty, if you’re looking for a natural look this isn’t it. I add water to make a foundation with reasonable coverage without looking like I’m wearing a mask.

I’ve been using this foundation for over a week now. The shade isn’t exact, but close enough to fit my needs. I have not had the oxidation issue that some of the other reviewers have had. The consistency is rather sticky, which makes it difficult to apply. However, the foundation does provide good coverage and lasts. It looks to be “buildable” – I only apply one layer with my fingers, so others will have to comment on that. I’ve had better foundations, but happy to use this one that ethically sourced, natural, and low-waste.

Is it non comedogenic? What are the shades equivalent to in Neutrogena foundation shades?

EarthHero –
Hi Aubrey! Great question. This product contains coconut oil which some skin types are sensitive to! If you’ve got dryer skin, this one is definitely more moisturizing and similar to creamy, mousse foundations. As for Neutrogena shade matching, each type of foundation will have different shades, so feel free to reach out via live chat and we will have our customer service gal help you shade match!
