Have any of your products ever been tested on animals?

Are all your products "vegan-friendly"?
We have several products that are Vegan friendly. You will find a list of ingredients on each product description page. A Vegan symbol will also denote the products that are vegan.
Is Mineral Makeup hard to apply?
Mineral makeup is no harder to apply than chemical, commerical makeup. A good understanding of basic application techniues, and a simple set of cosmetic tools help create the best results, but there's nothing difficult about using mineral makeup, no.
Check out our "Tips & Tricks" page, or Application videos for help.
Why aren't your Mineral Makeup products in dust/powder like other brands?
Mineral 'powders' are messy, not appropriate for all ages/skin types, and there tends to be more waste. Erzulie's moist-formulations are packaged with an easy-to-apply goal in mind. Safe, soothing, and flattering on all skin tones and types, and incredibly long lasting! Erzulie's mineral blends also offer all-natural sun protection.
Studies show that super-fine mineral powders are dangerous to inhale. Erzulie is the safest, most effective way of using mineral makeup!
I've tried other 'mineral' brands and they make my skin itch....WHY?
As large companies jump on the "all-natural" bandwagon...limitless varieties of mineral makeups are hitting the stage, and not all are created equal! The bases may indeed be minerals, but they're still packed, filled, fluffed, and polished with the same old stock of chemical ingredients. There are numerous reasons why cosmetics trigger sensitivities. Harsh chemicals are usually number one. Glycols, bismuth oxychloride, acrylates, synthetic polymers, parabens, artificial pigments, silicones, dyes and PEG's are all culprits! They're bad for our environment, bad for our skin, and bad for our health, but for some...they make good business sense, reducing ingredient costs, and raising profit shares. Who suffers? You.
Are your foundations heavy? Do they cover well?
They are super light and blendable with superb coverage. With a perfect balance of water-moisture and skin nurishing oils, our super light-weight foundations are easy to blend with superb coverage. No heavy perto-chemicals or pore clogging sludge in our products. Instead we use yummy ingredients like shea butter, aloe oil, jojoba oil, grapefruit seed extract, squalane, and vitamin-e. Ingredients that symbiotically work "with" your skin to not only cover imperfections, but improve them!
How long do your products last on the skin?
All our products are very long lasting and typically can take you from day to night with minimal touch ups.
Do your products contain irritants or chemicals that may cause reaction?
We formulate all our products with the safest, gentlest, and purest of ingredients. On top of that our products are manufactured in small, fresh batches, so we can avoid many of the irritating, chemical perservatives other companies use. We started our company to speficially provide beauty products for those with severe chemical-sensitivities...so you can trust us for the gentlest products possible. For those who have especially sensitive skin, or skin that might at first be broken, or damaged from using harsh products...we always suggest you take the time to do a patch-test. Just to be on the safe side, and avoid irritating the skin further. Most likely you will find that our products actually soothe and alliviate your skin problem.
What kind of sunfilter does your makeup offer?
Erzulie /Progress In Health products have a natural mineral sunfilter using zinc oxide and titanium dioxide. The amount of protection varies in each product. Please refer to product description and label for details.
How does your makeup respond to different types of skin?
There's a reason why we base all our formulations on the most basic and ancient of all-natural ingredients, because nothing on earth has yet to prove better. Nothing more gentle, restoritive, or healing then these time-trusted originals. The most ironic thing is that nature developed them to suit ALL skin types. Dry, oily, combination skin. Thick and thin skin, sensitive types...mature and youthful. That's the amazing thing about entire line of skincare products and cosmetics...they're beneficial in their own particular way to all skin types, because they're all about "balancing" and "normalizing" your health, bring you back to the basics as well.
Will your products match my skin tone?
Our foundations(liquid and cream to powder) have a patent pending mineral blend that self-adjusts to your skin tone. That means that it's a perfect match every time. The goddess glow liquid bronzer is so blendable that any skin tone can use it and get a natural glow. The concealers and correctors have an amzing ability to erase anything you don't want the world to see! See for yourself ! These products can actually improve the quality of your skin.
Are your products gluten-free?
Yes.
Gluten is a grain derived, filler-ingredient, and not included in any of our formulations. Some our products do include the use of 'starches' (rice, corn, and tapioca), but these are not glutens in the sense that they trigger an autoimmune response. For those with any hyper-sensitivies we always suggest a patch-test to be safe. If you can consume starches in your diet then you won't have a problem with our products.
