Products and Ingredients FAQ's

Are your products vegan?

Absolutely! At Alit Cosmetics, we use only the purest, toxin-free, and natural ingredients for all of our products. We are committed to being as vegan-friendly, ethical and eco-friendly as possible.

Our skincare range is 100% free of any animal-related ingredients, and with our makeup range, it is 97% vegan friendly and 100% vegetarian, as only three products have beeswax in them, the Organic Shea & Coconut butter, the Base Camp & the mascara, all the others are as vegan as a vegan can be :)

 

Are Alit products tested on animals?

Of course not! (and we totally disgusted to think that so many cosmetics companies still do). At Alit Cosmetics, we take pride in the fact that our products are free of harmful toxins, made locally in Australia and are not tested on animals. We are committed to providing you with high-quality, natural makeup and skincare products that are safe and ethical.
 

I like good coverage, would I be able to get it with natural foundations?

Yes, of course, you can! Our Flawless Powder mineral foundations have minimal ingredients, providing high-concentration pigments, similar to all our other loose powders, allowing you to achieve better coverage with less product. This means you can avoid clogging your pores with harsh and heavy ingredients found in commercial foundations.

The level of coverage you achieve is determined by the products you use, the brush you apply it with, and the technique you use. With the right combination of these factors, you can achieve a range of coverage, from light to heavy, using the exact same product.

To learn more, head to the Flawless Foundation page.

 

What ingredients are in your SPF products?

We have put only the best natural minerals in your foundation, which includes Titanium & Zinc Oxide that provides chemical-free sun protection with every use.

We will never use fillers like Talc or Bismuth Oxychloride, no petrochemicals, synthetic substances or mineral oils. Our minerals are 100% safe as they are non-nanoparticles.

 

I have dry skin, powders don’t sit well on my skin, what should I use instead?

Our Flawless Powder Mineral Foundation

The trick is to wear the foundation on top of the Super Drop Complex while it’s still oily on your skin. This transforms the loose powder into a "freshly made" liquid foundation while getting all the amazing benefits of both products.

For a dewy finish with good coverage, try using the BBe You Cream on its own or on top of the Super Drop Youth Protect day cream, then finish with a light dusting of the Flawless Powder as a setting powder.

Keep in mind that not all powders are created equal, many of them contain fillers and chemicals that may not be compatible with your skin. However, by using the right ingredients and technique, you can achieve any desired look.
