Values behind
At Lelya Cosmetics, we believe in creating beauty products that are not only effective but also ethical and sustainable. Here's how we integrate these values:
Commitment to Organic Ingredients and Transparent Formulations
We prioritize organic ingredients by carefully selecting suppliers who share our commitment to organic farming and sustainable practices. This meticulous approach ensures that our products are crafted without harmful chemicals or synthetic additives, allowing you to enjoy the benefits of nature's best ingredients with peace of mind.
We take great care in choosing partners who align with our values, so you can trust that every product we offer is both effective and environmentally responsible. Your well-being is at the heart of everything we do, and we are dedicated to providing you with skincare that not only nourishes your skin but also supports a healthier planet.
Waterless Formulations
Waterless, or anhydrous, formulations are central to our product development. By eliminating water, we create highly concentrated products that:
-
Reduce the need for preservatives: Water-based products often require preservatives to prevent microbial growth. Our waterless formulations minimize the need for such chemicals, making our products more natural.
-
Enhance ingredient efficacy: Without water, active ingredients remain potent, delivering superior results.
-
Reduce environmental impact: Water is a precious resource, and by minimizing its use, we contribute to conservation. Additionally, waterless products are lighter and more compact, reducing the carbon footprint associated with transportation.
Purely Natural Ingredients
We are committed to avoiding petroleum-derived ingredients in our formulations. This includes common substances like mineral oil, petrolatum, and paraffin. Instead, we focus on natural and sustainable alternatives that are kinder to your skin and the environment. Our choices include:
-
Plant-Based Oils: Such as jojoba, almond, and rosehip oils, which provide nourishing benefits without the environmental impact of petroleum extraction and refining.
-
Natural Waxes and Butters: Like shea butter, mango butter, and candelilla wax, which offer moisturizing and protective properties without relying on fossil fuels.
-
Glycerin-Free Formulations: We avoid glycerin, which can be derived from petrochemical sources. Instead, we use propanediol for its superior humectant properties, ensuring our products are both effective and sustainable.
Sustainable Sourcing and Supporting Local Communities
Our ingredients are sustainably sourced, prioritizing fair trade and environmentally responsible practices. By partnering with suppliers who value ethical sourcing, we ensure that our products benefit both your skin and the planet. We also support local economies by sourcing ingredients from small, independent farmers, helping to sustain traditional farming practices and ensuring that the benefits reach those who need them most.
