Sustainability
ELOSA Is inspired by nature and very conscious of our impact on earth and animals.
Here at ELOSA, all our packaging, ingredients and materials are eco friendly and made with love and intention. We take the initiative and extra mile to make sustainable products that's good for us, animals and the earth. We do this by using eco friendly packaging and using only carefully selected clean ingredients and locally sourcing materials and ingredients for all our products, also allowing us to limit our carbon footprint. We never ever test on animals and believe they should in no way be involved in the making of products and materials.
Handmade In Small Batches
All our products are handmade in house by the founder and CEO of ELOSA (Me) with love, pride and care. Our products are made in reasonably small batches and we cut down on our carbon footprint by sourcing locally as much as we can. We only make small batches to ensure freshness and limit use of waste. Sourcing on demand helps conserve resources and prevents materials and ingredients going to waste and ensures freshness.

Vegan + Cruelty Free
As natural lover of animals and a fur mama of 4, animals naturally have my whole heart. ELOSA does NOT harm animals and ensures none of the ingredients we use are animal derivatives such as beeswax, lanolin or honey. We instead use vegetable and plant and derived ingredients. We also ensure our suppliers align with our values and do not test on animals. For this, we are unable to sell our products to customers in China due to their animal testing policies.
Earth friendly packaging
All our supplies and packaging are made from earth friendly, reusable, recyclable and biodegradable materials. Our products are housed in glass or recyclable PET plastic bottles that can be repurposed or refilled. All our packaging is packed efficiently to reduce the size of parcel during shipment.

Select products are available for refills. Refills can be purchased to help reduce waste by refilling your existing bottles with your favourite product. We also offer a collection of “Oopsie Soaps” to again help reduce waste of products that still holds its benefits.
Carbon Neutral Shipping
All orders we ship are carbon neutral. This means we offset negative environmental impacts our shipment activities may create. This is done by monitoring, tracking and balancing or removing any CO2 we may release into the atmosphere. This is at no additional costs to our customers as we have decided to cover this to help maintain sustainability through shipping.
