LO CARE is a clean beauty company founded by Rosa Polak on the premise that beauty should be good for both people and the planet. We believe beauty is more than a formula. More than sustainable packaging even. It’s a way of life that’s considerate of our planet. It’s knowing that every choice we make has impact. Our promise to you is to use the best ingredients packaged in the most durable materials. We’re proud to say we don’t use plastics in any of our products. Both our product packaging and shipping packaging are completely natural and recyclable. 

LO is part of the second name of founder Rosa Lolo Polak.

LO CARE  is based in Amsterdam. All our products are handmade in our lab in the centre of Amsterdam. Have a look at our ‘LO LAB’ stories on Instagram to see how our products are made.

We sell our products through our webshop and in a selected retailers. We’re working on updating our stockists on our website.

Yes. We’re a clean brand and we have a 100% natural product, both formula and packaging. While we believe there are many safe synthetic ingredients, we didn’t find the need to add them to our formula.

We would never test on animals, and all of our products are 100% cruelty-free. We also don’t sell in countries that require animal testing for cosmetics.

Most of our products are vegan:
BAMBOO, BADDY, BLOOM, FLO, JO, LEXI, LOA, LOLO, LUNA, NICO, RUBY, SCARLET, SEM, TERRA, TESS & VELVEY
LO BAGS
LO LIP BRUSH

Products that are not vegan:
ELLE, FEMME, MIMI, NELL & ROSA

LO is not certified organic by a certification board. We decided against certification because it dramatically reduces the amount of active ingredients available to use. We believe wildcrafted is better that organic, but it can’t be certified.

However, we do always source organic or wildcrafed when possible.

Candelilla wax • wildcrafted
Myrica fruit wax • wildcrafted
Almond, wonder & jojoba oil • all certified organic
Caprylic/capric triglyceride • we have not found an organic version of this ingredient, when we do, we will choose that option

Due to our all-natural and minimal waste policy, we haven’t found a way to offer affordable, easy sample packaging. We’re definitely working on this.

For all care products the clock starts ticking when you open it. Every care or makeup product sold in Europe has the period after opening (PAO) symbol – a number followed by an M and an open jar symbol – on it. The letter M stands for the Latin word month and the number refers to how many months. For best results we recommend you use our lip products within one year of opening.

No. We don’t. How is this possible? Let us explain. When you blend with fresh natural waxes, oils and butters, no preservatives are needed. Cosmetic products with water in them need preservatives to stop bacteria from growing. We don’t have water in our products.

LO lip care products are FREE FROM any unnatural ingredients. This includes artificial chemicals, fragrances, preservative, colorants, petrochemicals, phthalates, silicones, DEA, TEA, sulphates or parabens.

As often as you’d like. Please know: lips can not get addicted to products. People can, lips can’t*. They can however remain dry and irritated by the use of products containing irritating ingredients like synthetic preservatives or fragrances. Even natural products can trigger these irritating reactions. You might have sensitivity to an ingredient that’s causing the reaction. When that happens, it’s time to swap for the next. Find what works for you.

*Lips can’t
While it’s true that the use of (too much) care product can make your skin lazy in producing its and moisturising with those own oils, and thus leave a dependency on your care regime. This addictive dependency doesn’t apply to lips. Why? Because lips, unlike normal skin, aren’t able to produce these oils to begin with. Lips lack sweat glands, the ones that produce your skin’s natural oils.

Read the previous question first and then check out our CARE page to see what to look for in a lip care product. It’s always a good idea to drink enough water and eat foods that are full of essential fatty acids, like fish, nuts and oils.

Sure you can. Our BAMBOO balm can be used for a variety of uses:

• To help soften lines around the eyes;
• To give some glow on your cheek bows;
• To prevent dry skin; elbows, feet, nails, knuckles;
• Tame brows;

To maintain the freshness and quality of your product we recommend storing it away from direct sunlight. There is no need to keep your product in the fridge. Avoid using your product with dirty wet hands.

It differs from person to person but it will take approximately 12 months.
