FAQ's

All LAMAV products are Certified Organic and have the Certified Organic seal by the OFC. For a product to be Certified Organic, it must contain a minimum of 70% Certified Organic ingredients—which are grown, processed and controlled according to strict standards. The Certified Organic seal of approval also provides you with the peace of mind that products are free range, cruelty-free, free from GMO’s, synthetic chemicals, petrochemicals, pesticides, herbicides, hormones, antibiotics, artificial colours and fragrances.

The main difference between Certified Organic and natural products is that Certified Organic means that most of the ingredients have to be Certified Organic—which means they are cultivated without the use of synthetic fertilisers, pesticides or other synthetic chemicals. Natural products however, require the ingredients to be natural—or not synthetic—but they don’t have to be grown or cultivated in the same way. While they may come from a natural source, they may not necessarily be organic.

LAMAV do not use Palm Oil directly in any of our products and do not support the negative impacts palm oil cultivation has globally.

However, some of the ingredients may contain derivatives of palm oil due to their extraction process—including Cetearyl Glucose, Cetearyl Alcohol and Glyceryl Stearate Citrate. We ensure that all suppliers we work with submit a RSPO Certificate which states that the palm oil derivatives are from established sustainable farms who abide by the strictest criteria.

Yes! At LAMAV we select to use only natural and organic ingredients in their purest form—without the addition of synthetic additives. This ensures that every formula is designed to work with all skin types and nourish your complexion on a cellular level—without causing irritation. As with any new product however, if your skin is sensitive, we recommend doing a patch test prior to use.

What makes LAMAV unique is our belief in incorporating maximum levels of therapeutic ingredients into our formulas—which is why we use Certified Organic Hydrosols and Aloe Vera as substitutes for water throughout our product range. Hydrosols not only provide the perfect vehicle or base for our formulas, but they possess the same therapeutic benefits as many essential oils.

It is important to note, however, that as some of the bio-actives we use are extracted with water, we must include water on some of our ingredients lists. Nevertheless, this does not mean that the product itself contains water.

We use the highest quality, natural preservation system to ensure our products remain as pure and potent as possible. To maintain this high standard,our products are quality tested at every stage and we have even selected to use an airless system to pack our products. This method helps to further preserve our products and reduce the introduction of airborne organisms, dust and other contaminants.

We recommend our products are used within 6 months of opening to ensure maximum freshness and efficacy. Unopened products that have been stored correctly—in a cool, dry place and out of direct sunlight—are still safe to use within 24 months of manufacturing.

Our formulas are Certified Organic and use only the purest, most natural ingredients which makes them safe to use when pregnant or breastfeeding. However, we always recommend patch testing and consulting with your healthcare practitioner if you are unsure about certain ingredients.

Although our formulas are Certified Organic, if your child has any particular allergies or skin conditions, we always recommend patch testing and consulting with your healthcare practitioner if you are unsure about certain ingredients.

At LAMAV we are completely transparent—and every single ingredient is listed on the label and can also be found in our Ingredients Glossary.

While our formulas are wheat and soy free, some of our formulas do contain nut oils—such as Macadamia Seed Oil and Sweet Almond Oil. If you have a nut allergy, it’s therefore essential to read the ingredients list prior to use.
