FAQs
INGREDIENTS
IS YOUR FACE LOTION ORGANIC?
The shea butter, olive oil, and pomegranate seed oil are certified organic! The beeswax is not certified organic but raw and local from the farmers market. The reason they can’t say if the beeswax is organic is because no one can predict what specific flower a bee took the pollen from!
HOW LONG WILL MY LOTION LAST?
A little bit goes a long way with YayForEarth lotion! We recommend about a pea-sized amount for the entire face. The shelf life is roughly a year once opened, although in most mild environments it will last even longer!
IS IT SUITABLE FOR ACNE PRONE OR INFLAMED SKIN?
Since all skin types are different we cannot guarantee anything but all the ingredients are anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial, anti-microbial and hydrating! Since it is for sensitive skin, the ingredients should soothe and calm the skin.
IS YOUR PRODUCT FAIR TRADE?
Yes, all the ingredients are fair trade.
WHY DID YOU TAKE THE HONEY OUT?
The honey was taken out because I believe in a pure, efficient product where every single ingredient plays an important role in nourishing the skin. Honey and oil do not mix unless they have an emulsifier, therefore the tiny amount of honey used tended to glob and drift to the bottom of the lotion mixture as I was making it. This meant most of the lotion jars contained a very small amount of honey at the bottom of the jar, if any. In taking it out of the lotion I added more pomegranate seed oil, creating a more dynamic amount of nutrients for your skin! My aim is to create a product that is powerful and effective, without any unnecessary ingredients.
IS YOUR PRODUCT VEGAN?
This product contains beeswax and is not considered vegan. However, we believe if you find a sustainable beekeeper, they can greatly benefit our planet! They look after their hive, manage it symbiotically, being stewards of the environment and increase bee populations!
IS IT SUITABLE FOR OILY SKIN?
Yes, the olive oil helps seal the moisture in your skin and can balance out your sebaceous glands that is causing overproduction of oil.
IS IT SUITABLE FOR DRY SKIN?
Yes, all the ingredients in this face lotion is suitable for hydration and moisturizing!
