FAQs
Are LESSE products natural?
All of our formulas are 100% natural—meaning all of our ingredients are derived from nature and non-synthetic sources. This ensures our ingredients are highly biocompatible, making them safer for sensitive or reactive skin.
Are LESSE products cruelty-free?
Yes, all of our products are certified Leaping Bunny cruelty-free.
Are LESSE products vegan?
All of our products are vegan, though we use ethically sourced beeswax and/or honey in our Soothing Lip Balm and Bioactive Mask.
Is LESSE safe for sensitive skin?
All of our formulas are clinically tested for sensitive skin and are safe for all skin types. Since we use 100% natural ingredients, our formulas are uniquely more biocompatible—meaning they are less likely to trigger an inflammatory response compared to traditional synthetic ingredients.
Are LESSE products custom formulated?
All of our formulas are 100% proprietary and custom formulated from scratch. Our founder personally and rigorously researches and thoughtfully selects each ingredient for its uncompromising benefits.
Where do you source your ingredients?
We source all of our ingredients from verified ethical partners around the world. Some of our ingredients we even grow on certified organic land, before wild harvesting and extracting on-site—using 100% solar powered technology.
Where are LESSE products made?
We make all of our products on the east coast of North America—in both the U.S. and Canada. With our headquarters in New York, this allows us to be close to production to ensure the utmost quality and integrity in every production.
What are the LESSE testing standards?
We have the highest testing standards. In addition to stability and shelf life, we send all of our formulas for third party clinical testing to ensure they are safe for use on all skin types. We also qualify for Good Manufacturing Practices standards; so every raw ingredient is tested once it arrives at our facility, then we micro test the bulk once it's blended, and finally we micro test the filled product. This ensures the highest quality and safety for every batch.
We have also started the process of running clinical trials for all of our formulas, with testing so far completed for the Every Tone SPF 30, Calming Cleanser, Essential Moisturizer, and Awakening Eye Cream.
Do LESSE products expire?
All skin care products have an expiry date, including ours. Find this printed on the box by the barcode. If you can't find it, our team can help. Reach out to us here.
How soon after opening should I use my LESSE products?
As shown on the product boxes, most of our formulas have a 6 month PAO—or 'product after opening'. Please ensure you use the full jar, bottle, or tube within 6 months of opening.
How should I store my LESSE products?
Be sure to store your skin care in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. The ideal climate for storage is between 68 - 75F, or 20 - 25C.
