Refill your mind - Elate cosmetics + more
Hi! happy to have you here :)
This month we are diving into a makeup brand we love here at Reduce & Reuse Refillery,
*~ Elate ~*
Elate has been advocating for kindness since 2014 with their focus on embracing yourself and our diversity.
Globally, there are around 120 billion pieces of beauty packaging produced annually. Only 9% of plastic that can be recycled (a mere 14% of total) will be successfully recycled and it isn't just the packaging, but the product creating waste as well!
So Elate steps in- an ethical and sustainable business created with us and the planet in mind.
“Over 75% of our packaging is reusable, recyclable or plantable (we’re working on the other 25%), and all of our packaging can be returned to us (for free), so we can refill it or recycle it for you”
At our downtown Dayton location (133 E 4th St) - Here is what we have available:
PLUS, the available refill options and the customizable palettes.
Elate’s products are 100% vegan and cruelty-free. Over 75% organic, but..
“…we always choose fair trade over organic when we can’t have both because it’s important to us that our farmers and their workers are paid fairly and operate safely. Organic certification is so expensive, farmers may compromise the integrity of their operation to achieve it—and that’s not okay with us.”
Essential Mascara:
Created for even the most sensitive eyes, this water- and sweat-resistant formula helps your mascara stay put, even when you’re on the go. Refills are only the glass container- you reuse the essential mascara wand and recycle the old container.
To use: Apply a light coat for plump, lengthened lashes, building for the desired volume. Plus, it’s multi-use, doubling as a product to keep those eyebrows in place all day
Refresh Foundation:
Offering sheer coverage for a natural look. Perfect for the minimalist beauty ritual. Tinted enough to even out skin tone and sheer enough to be freckle-friendly. Bamboo stem extract restores skin elasticity, while hyaluronic acid hydrates.
When empty: clean and reuse the pump and purchase a refill of your perfect shade. Thoroughly clean and recycle the glass bottle and pump separately into your household recycling.
Pressed EyeColour:
Made for every skin type, Elate’s Pressed EyeColour absorbs oil so you can say goodbye to creasing and hello to high-performance color.
To use: Simply apply with your favorite eye shadow brush. For a bolder colour, wet your brush first and build in layers.
Your eyeshadow will fill an eighth of our Essential Palette. Leaving room to add the rest of your beauty ritual products or 7 more EyeColours for a complete eye palette.
Blush Balm:
Colour outside the lines with our hydrating Use the creamy, colourful formula on cheeks, eyes or lips.Made with Evening Primrose Oil, a healing ingredient for acne, eczema and wrinkles, Blush Balm is packed with essential fatty acids. Plus, bamboo stem extract enhances skin elasticity and suppleness.
To use: Pat on or under your cheekbones with a fingertip and blend, or use this creamy, colorful formula on eyes or lips. Apply with a brush to diffuse color.
Your Blush Balm will fill half of the Essential Palette, or a quarter of the Capsule Palette - leaving room to add the rest of your beauty ritual products.

OK! we think that about wraps up our refill.
