How to store your cosmetics
Natural & organic cosmetics often contain natural ingredients which are sensitive to environmental factors like temperature, humidity, and light.
Temperature
It's advisable to store your natural & organic cosmetics in a dry, cool place with a temperature ranging between 10-20 degrees Celsius (50-68 degrees Fahrenheit).
Extreme temperatures can affect the stability and efficacy of the product.
Humidity
High humidity levels can introduce moisture into your products, which can lead to bacterial growth or spoilage.
Always keep your cosmetics in a dry environment to prevent these issues.
Sunlight
Direct exposure to sunlight can speed up the aging process of your products, causing them to expire quicker.
The UV rays can break down the active ingredients, making them less effective.
Tips for Proper Storage
Use Original Packaging
Always keep the products in their original packaging, which is designed to protect them from environmental factors.
Tightly Seal Containers
Make sure to close the lids tightly after use to prevent exposure to air and moisture.
Avoid Bathroom Storage
The bathroom is generally humid and can be warm at times, making it an unsuitable storage place for natural & organic cosmetics.
Use Clean Hands or Spatulas
Always use clean hands or a clean spatula to take out the product to prevent contamination.
Check Expiration Dates
Always be aware of the product's expiry date and discontinue use after this period.
Refrigeration
Some products may benefit from being stored in the fridge, especially in hot climates. However, always read the manufacturer's guidelines before doing so.
Incorrect storage conditions
Incorrect storage conditions can lead to:
Reduced efficacy of the product
Altered texture and consistency
Faster expiration
Growth of bacteria or mold
Remember, when in doubt, always refer to the manufacturer's instructions for the best storage practices.
Our Practices
Skincare is more than just a routine. It’s a connection people make with themselves.
We are committed to creating products that are effective, but never compromise our health and/or the environment.
The industry
The skincare industry is under-regulated in the US. The European Union
bans or restricts over 1,600 cosmetic ingredients, while the US bans
fewer than 20.
Why does it matter? Responsibility.
Ignoring it leads to packing products with harmful ingredients which, over time, can cause significant health damage. It’s done to save money and/or extend shelf life, often at the expense of consumer safety.
Our commitment
At Veil by Eljay, we don’t use cheap ingredients. We care about the health of our customers and what we put on our skin. That’s why we always share full lists of ingredients for each product and don’t hide behind vague labels such as “proprietary blends".
We follow a Clean Beauty Standard: no-compromise guidelines that every single product in our catalog follows.
100% Cruelty Free
Every product is developed without harming any living creature, now or in the future.
Vegan formulations
Our products contain no animal-derived ingredients, except for beeswax. The production of beeswax is strictly regulated to make sure sustainability is top priority.
Eco-conscious production
Every step of our process is designed to protect both the planet and the people on it, from sourcing to formulation.
Sustainable sourcing
We use natural resources mindfully, ensuring they’re preserved for future generations.
Biodiversity protection
We carefully select ingredients and practices which help protect ecosystems and support natural balance.
No carcinogens
We avoid ingredients with links to cancer. We carefully review the research and make decisions based on the best available evidence.
No parabens
We completely eliminate parabens which have been linked to hormone disruption and potential reproductive harm.
No phthalates
Phthalates are known endocrine disruptors and have been banned in the EU, but still used in the US.
No SLS sulfates
SLS sulfates strip natural oils and disrupt the skin barrier. Our cleansers and shampoos get the job done without the damage.
No benzines
We exclude benzene and its derivatives due to their potential health risks, including links to toxicity and contamination concerns.
No silicones & siloxanes
We ban all silicones and siloxanes due to their harmful buildup in the body and environment.
No toxic preservatives
You won’t find any toxic preservatives, such as formaldehyde, BHA, and others, in our products because they’re linked to toxicity and irritation.
No toxic pigments
We ban synthetic dyes, coal tar, carbon black, and talc, which have been linked to health concerns.
No toxic fragrances
If fragrance is used, it’s free from phthalates and synthetic musks.
No Benzines and its derivatives
We ban benzene and its derivatives due to toxicity and contamination risks.
No Carcinogens
Ingredients linked to cancer are strictly avoided.
No Parabens
All parabens are banned due to links with hormone disruption.
No Silicones & Siloxanes
No silicones or siloxanes, due to concerns about bioaccumulation and environmental harm.
