Product FAQs

We recommend using our oil-based products within 12 months after opening. We recommend using our water-based products within 9-12 months after opening. Store One Love Organics products in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight, heat, humidity and excess moisture.

We use vitamin C ester, also known as ascorbyl palmitate because it is a more potent source of vitamin C, is less irritating to the skin, and absorbs more readily than L-ascorbic acid. It is also more stable in topical solutions, ensuring a longer shelf-life and protection from free radical damage. For these reasons, the vitamin C ester in our Botanical C Facial Serum performs at much lower percentages than typical, L-ascorbic acid-based serums on the market.

Skin Savior may be affected by warm temperatures, however, it absolutely does not affect quality or performance. If your balm melts or becomes too soft, simply give it a little stir with a clean utensil and pop it in the fridge until it completely cools.

You bet! Skin Savior is perfect for all skin types, including those who have oily skin or are prone to breakouts. Skin Savior contains natural sources of vitamin B3 (niacin), zinc and lauric acid. Vitamin B3, a proven anti-inflammatory, may help to reduce the redness that often accompanies blemishes and can help to calm the skin. Topical zinc has been shown to help calm the skin and lauric acid has strong anti-bacterial properties.

Beneficial plant oils cleanse your pores of dirt and bacteria naturally, gently and effectively, without stripping the skin. Unlike water, oil-based products like Skin Savior effectively dissolve oil, including makeup, sunscreen, and your own sebum. We recommend removing the balm with a warm, wet facial or washcloth.

“Comedogenic” refers to ingredients in beauty products that clog the pores and can cause blackheads, pimples, or cosmetic-related acne. We do not use any ingredients that are known to be comedogenic. However, individual allergies and sensitivities can cause irritation and breakouts, so we always suggest doing a patch test prior to using any product. Here’s how: place a small amount on the inside of the wrist or inner thigh and look for a reaction. If any redness or irritation occurs, stop using the product immediately.

There is no defined methodology to test for allergic reactions in beauty or personal care products, nor does the FDA regulate the use of the term “hypoallergenic.” Consequently, we do not position our products as hypoallergenic. Similar to airborne and food allergies, topical allergies are unique to the individual. A product that may work beautifully for one person can irritate another. We always recommend doing a patch test prior to using any product. Here’s how: place a small amount on the inside of the wrist or inner thigh and look for a reaction. If any redness or irritation occurs, stop using the product immediately.

All OLO products are formulated without any animal ingredients or by-products and are vegan-friendly, except for Skin Savior Multi-Tasking Wonder Balm and Botanical B Cleansing Oil + Makeup Remover, which contain beeswax.

Our ECOCERT® certified products are certified natural and organic and are dermatologist tested. However, we recommend that any expectant mother check with her physician and/or decide for herself before changing her skin care routine to our products, or any other line of products. Every individual and situation is so unique that we suggest taking the safest route for moms to be! Always perform a patch test prior to using any product. Here’s how: place a small amount on the inside of the wrist or inner thigh and look for a reaction. If any redness or irritation occurs, stop using the product immediately.

No. We only use ECOCERT® certified blends of 100% natural origin. One Love Organics uses a proprietary blend of ingredients found in nature including essential oils, fruit and plant aromatic extracts, oils, and isolates to compose our wonderful fragrances. Our natural fragrances are third-party certified to be free of phthalates, parabens, sulfates, chemical sunscreens, petrochemicals, formaldehyde donors, pegs, DEA/TEA and 1,4 dioxanes. ECOCERT® expressly prohibits synthetic perfumes.

The label is the best place to find accurate information about a product. The FDA requires companies to list ingredients in descending order by quantity. The label lists ingredients from the highest concentration to the lowest. Here’s how to read an ingredients label and why it is important. Also, look for third party certifications. We’ve voluntarily taken steps to ensure that both our products and business are third-party certified so you can trust our claims.

Our products have not been tested for gluten, which means that some ingredients could contain gluten not specified by the raw material supplier. If you have sensitivities, we always suggest doing a patch test prior to using any product. Here’s how: place a small amount on the inside of the wrist or inner thigh and look for a reaction. If any redness or irritation occurs, stop using the product immediately.

Yes, ECOCERT® prohibits the use of GMO ingredients and our products proudly bear the ECOCERT® seal.

No, we do not currently carry any products with SPF, though we plan to in the future. We do recommend applying a moisturizer rich in antioxidants in the morning to help protect against environmental damage. Generally speaking, we prefer taking cover versus lathering up on sunscreen. You will find us in a shady spot between the hours of 10 am and 4 pm when the sun is at its strongest. When fun in the sun does call our name, we follow a simple checklist: 1. Sun hat. Hats protect the fragile facial and scalp areas that are most susceptible to sun damage. A sun hat will also help protect and preserve your hair color. 2. Protective cover-up. We don’t need an excuse to toss on a cute tunic or striped sun shirt!

3. Sunglasses. Don’t forget to protect your eyes, too! Look for lenses that filter out 100% of UVA, UVB, and UVC rays.

We aren’t the only ones who share this sentiment. After testing literally thousands of sunscreens, the EWG (link) concluded that the best sunscreen is…a shirt and a hat! No chemicals to absorb through the skin; no questions about whether they work. Perfect!

One Love Organics does NOT conduct product or ingredient tests of any kind on animals. We are certified cruelty-free by PETA. Additionally, ECOCERT® also prohibits the practice of animal testing for raw materials or finished products and our products proudly bear the ECOCERT® Seal.

Absolutely. Although your guy may be rugged, his facial skin is just as sensitive as yours. Products that claim to be strong enough for a man usually have caustic, drying and abrasive ingredients like alcohol, silicone-based lubricants, petroleum-based skin softeners and harsh preservatives that may dry out, irritate, and inflame the skin. One Love Organics products cleanse, nourish and help to balance men’s skin naturally.

One Love Organics is crafted in small batches to maintain the integrity of our ingredients and ensure you receive the highest quality product. This artisanal approach, along with our commitment to ECOCERT’s environmental guidelines, does not support sample sizes. Instead, we created a collection of trial sizes so that you may experience our products and discover what works best for you!

At One Love Organics, we use Botanical C ester, also known as ascorbyl palmitate, because it is a more potent source of Botanical C, is less irritating to the skin, and is more moisturizing and nourishing than L-ascorbic acid. It is also more stable in topical solutions, ensuring a longer shelf-life and potential protection from free radical damage. For these reasons, the Botanical C ester in our Botanical C Facial Serum performs at much lower percentages than typical L-ascorbic acid-based serums on the market. What’s more, it has been tested non-phototoxic, which means it’s safe to wear during the day – something you don’t often find with Botanical C serums!

Why haven’t you heard of Botanical C ester? Botanical C ester is less popular in skin care products because it is much more expensive (168% more expensive, in fact) than L-ascorbic acid. In addition to Botanical C ester, our Botanical C Serum contains an abundance of ultra-concentrated plant-based and bio-available ingredients naturally rich in Botanical C: organic rosehip oil, baobab fruit oil, organic sea buckthorn, and organic acerola. Organic green tea and Botanical E boost the natural potency of Botanical C for a synergistic and powerful duo against environmental stressors.

See what we mean? You simply can’t compare OLO’s Botanical C Serum to those containing common L-ascorbic acid. It’s in a class all its own!

Skin Savior may be affected by very warm or very cool temperatures; however, it absolutely does not affect quality or performance. If your balm melts or becomes too soft, simply give it a little stir with a clean utensil and pop it in the fridge until it completely cools.

You bet! Skin Savior is perfect for all skin types, including those who have oily skin or are prone to breakouts. Skin Savior contains natural sources of Botanical B3 (niacin), zinc, and lauric acid to sooth the appearance of irritated skin and give skin a boost.

Skin Savior Balm contains a unique orange peel extract which is carefully cold-pressed from the rinds of oranges. This extract is rich in Botanical C and natural bioflavonoids are known to have antioxidant and antimicrobial properties. Orange peel extract has a cleansing, toning, and long-lasting moisturizing effect on skin. This ingredient, in combination with the other beneficial plant oils in the formula, effectively dissolves oil, including makeup, sunscreen, and even your own sebum. We recommend removing the balm with a warm, wet washcloth and following up with a second foaming cleanser to remove water-based dirt.
