You may have noticed that we have added our full ingredient lists to our elave website over the past few months. All the elave ingredients are listed according to their INCI
(Pharmaceutical) names, as described in EU directives. We do not hide or disguise ingredients under terms like “Perfume” or “Colouring”. Sometimes ingredient lists can be daunting and difficult to understand so through this blog we will try to explain as many queries as possible.

elave skincare is alcohol free. But some elave products contain a raw material with ‘alcohol’ in its name. However this is different from Ethanol commonly referred to as alcohol which increases moisture loss from the skin which can lead to skin problems. None of out elave products contain ethanol. Some of these have the word ‘alcohol’ in the name but it does not relate to ethanol or alcohol as it is commonly known.
