Skincare Test

Are Emma S skincare products vegan?

- Yes, all our skincare products are vegan.

Are Emma S products tested on animals?

- No, we do not test our products on animals and we do not sell our products in markets that demand animal testing.

Are there parabens, mineral oils, microplastics, nanoparticles or cyclic silicones in Emma S products?

- No.

If you don't use parabens as a preservative, what do you use instead?

- We have decided not to use parabens and instead use a combination of Phenoxyethanol and Caprylyl Glycol as alternative preservatives.

Is it safe to use Emma S products during pregnancy?

- There are recommendations and limits of how much Vitamin A you should not exceed in total while pregnant or breastfeeding. Our recommendation is therefore not to use products with Vitamin A/Retinol during pregnancy or while breastfeeding. The products that include Vitamin A in Emma S assortment are retinol facial oil, ageless night cream, ageless serum, ultimate night cream and ultimate serum. To the best of both our and our Swedish manufacturers knowledge our other products do not contain ingredients that can have a negative effect on a pregnancy. We therefore do not advise to restrict the use of these products during a pregnancy. But should you anyway feel uncertain, we advise you to talk to your midwife.

Can I use Emma S products if I have sensitive skin?

- All Emma S products have undergone skin irritability tests with excellent results. If you know that your skin is very sensitive, you should use our sensitive series. It is fragrance free and has been tested on a so-called ”sensitive panel” which means that it has been dermatologically tested on people with dry and sensitive skin.

When should I start using anti-age products?

- The production of collagen diminishes as we get older. Therefore, it might be a good idea to begin with anti-aging products around the age of 30. If you really want to protect your skin from premature aging, always (no matter age) use sunscreen when you stay in the sun as well as avoid smoking.

I turned red after using the Enzyme Peel, is that normal?

- Our Enzyme Peel contains ingredients such as salicylic acid and other substances that help remove dead skin cell. Therefore you may feel a tingling and warm sensation, which means the product is working. The cream should only be left on for one minute and then you rinse it off with lukewarm water. Immediately after treatment your skin may be slightly red, but it will ease off after a short while. The result is a healthy, fresh-looking complexion with a wonderful lustre.

What type of UV filters are used in Emma S. products?

- Our Moisturising Day Cream, Ageless Day Cream, Ultimate Day Cream and Hydrating Sun Protection contain only chemical UV filters, which are easily absorbed by the skin.

I can't find the product I'm looking for?

- The following products have unfortunately been discontinued from the range and can no longer be purchased; Rue de Varenne Body Mist, Warm Beach Body Series, Tinted Moisturisers, Oxygen Mask, Treatment Super Balm. Looking for something else? E-mail us at support@emmas.com.

Can children and teenagers use Emma S products?

Generally, children and teenagers do not need a lot of skincare products - a gentle cleanser, a moisturiser, and sunscreen are sufficient. Our Sensitive Series or Moisturising Series are good options. Children and teenagers should not be using skincare products with active ingredients, unless recommended by a dermatologist. Children skin is thinner than adult skin and can react to strong and active ingredients, which can damage the skin barrier.

What are active ingredients?

Active ingredients are ingredients that make a noticeable difference in the skin. When used correct and in the right concentration, active ingredients often have a positive effect on the skin and various skin concerns. This does not mean they should be used by everyone. Some of the most common active ingredients include Retinol, various types of acids (AHA, BHA, PHA acids), Niacinamide, and Vitamin C.

Why do you not have an age limit on products with active ingredients?

It is difficult for us to control who purchases our products at the retailers. Therefore, we work closely with our retailers to provide them with information about our active products. We want the store personnel to know which products contain active ingredients so they can guide their customers accordingly.
