3Does the FDA have the authority to regulate cosmetic safety?
The FDA has wide-ranging regulatory authority that helps to ensure the safety of cosmetics and personal care products. Throughout the years, FDA has infrequently had to exercise this power to limit or prohibit ingredients that it considered to be unsafe. Cosmetics and personal care products companies are committed to upholding strict FDA regulations.
4Are your products cruelty-free?
Yes, all of our products are cruelty-free. We do not test our products or ingredients on animals and we do not retail in any country that requires animal testing.
5What is Milk Melt Technology?
We’re glad you asked. Milk Melt Technology is our secret weapon formula made up of a unique blend of coconut waxes that melt into skin on contact with body heat. That means your makeup blends seamlessly into your skin, rather than sitting on top of it. And who doesn’t want that?
6How do you suggest applying your products?
We suggest using your fingertips to help Milk Melt Technology best blend into skin. It also makes for quick and easy application that can be done anywhere—like, in the back of a cab when you only have five minutes. All of our products are made to be used without brushes or tools, but if you just can’t part with your favorite fan or blender, we won’t hold it against you.
