Frequently Asked Questions

1. Are your products 100% synthetic free?

The Kajal is 100% natural and fragrance free. We use synthetic fragrance in other products.

2. Are your products free from all preservatives?

Products that contain water need to have preservatives. We use benzyl alcohol dehydroacetic acid and potassium sorbate in such products. Both these preservatives are approved for use in organic cosmetics by major organic certification agencies.

3. Is your brand cruelty free? Are you certified cruelty free?

We are not certified cruelty free but our products are not tested on animals.

4. Is the brand organic certified? Do you use organic ingredients?

Our products are certified by FDA. We do not have any specific natural or organic certification. We use mostly natural or naturally-derived ingredients in our products. We try and use organic ingredients as well however these are not always available or certified organic.

5. Do you use palm oil in any of the products?

We do not use palm oil in our products. There are some ingredients which could be derived from palm or coconut oil. We directly obtain the ingredients e.g. caprylic capric triglyceride but the supplier does not always disclose the source.

6. Do the products contain natural mica?

We are using mica in a few of our products.

7. Are the products gluten free?

Yes, the products are gluten-free. The manufacturing facility is gluten-free as well. The ingredients that we source could have been processed at facilities which may not be gluten-free.

8.  Do you sell/export/retail in Mainland China?

No.

9. What kind of packaging do you use for your products? Are these environment-friendly?

We use PET plastic and polypropylene packaging for most of our products. PET is recyclable.

10. What is the recycling policy?

We don’t have an in-house policy on recycling the packaging material that we consume. However recycling implies collection of used material from customers which also means that we consume transportation resources, which in turn adds to the carbon footprint. Moreover, the extra cost of recycling will ultimately have to be bourne by customers. This is in conflict with our policy of trying to get our natural and safe cosmetic products in to the hands of maximum possible people by keeping them affordable.

11. What is the shelf life of your products?

Shelf life is 2 years from the date of manufacturing.
