Frequently Asked Questions
How does KOLORETE define ‘natural ingredients’? Tell us more about your product.
‘Natural’ ingredients are a product or byproduct of plant, animal, mineral and/or microbe present in (or produced by) nature, produced with minimal processing or extracted using simple methods, and include no synthetic ingredients, artificial ingredients (including artificial colors or flavoring), silicones or petrochemicals/plastics.
An ‘organic’ ingredient is always classified as a natural ingredient, but not all natural ingredients are considered ‘organic.’
Our products contain 100% organic and clean ingredients, and are made from only the finest ingredients, primarily waxes, oils, and pigments, all of which are gluten-free and soy-free, paraben-free, sulfate-free, free of toxins and other questionable ingredients.
Technically, our products are not vegan. Depends on your definition. Our products are made with beeswax, which is a natural, animal byproduct, ie. made by bees and thus involving animals. Beeswax is considered a vegetarian product as it's made by bees (byproduct) but does not contain bees itself (animal product). We also only use organic and cruelty free beeswax in our product formulations, ensuring our products are cruelty free.
None of our products are tested on animals.
Where are KOLORETE products manufactured?
KOLORETE products are manufactured in Temple City, California, with globally sourced ingredients.
What is the shelf-life of our KOLORETE lippie?
Approximately 2 years. Our product is 100% natural and does not contain synthetic preservatives.
Because lipstick is an emulsion of oil, wax and pigment and does not contain water or sugars, lipsticks are at extremely low risk for growing molds or bacterias and allow for longer shelf life times even given 0 synthetic preservatives.
What skin types are KOLORETE products suitable for?
We are a brand for ALL people of different skin types. KOLORETE colors are carefully selected to work well for all types of people, celebrating the diversity of humanity from every angle. Because of this, we feel confident that you will look good and feel good in nearly any color option, no matter your skin type, gender, or overall aesthetic.
