FAQ
Hello! Here are some frequently asked questions
Are your products natural?
Yes, my products are natural. I love using our beautiful Earth’s magical gifts when I am mixing and creating these skin goodies.
Are your products vegan?
Absolutely! All of my products are made with plant-based ingredients.
How long have you been in business?
I have been a business since 2015, but I have had a connection to skincare for many years. Starting at TEN (so young), I starting suffered from breaks outs that turned into terrible acne as a teenager- the kind that was painful and cystic. My mom took me to dermatologists and bought countless products and nothing worked. It wasn’t until I started working at a spa and seeing an esthetician who gave me facials and sent me home with proper skincare that my passion for skin started. After working there for a little while, I enrolled in Naperville Skin Institute where I became a licensed esthetician in 2009.
I remember being in esthetics school and showing my classmates mixtures I made with pre-made products to customize masks. It was so fun to play around with products and ingredients.
Since I was a kid, mixing and creating brought me so much joy. You’d find me in the mud making stick and stone soup, or in the kitchen trying to bake. Here I am in 2020, still loving to create and mix things up!
What has been been the biggest highlight of your business?
Gosh, there are a few I can think of. Right off the bat, I have to say my customer connections have been the very best thing to happen to me. I’ve gotten to know some of my customers and think of them as friends.
I was featured in a big magazine and chosen as one of the editors pick next to huge names! It was truly an honor.
Someone from a major retailer approached me about adding my line to their store. It was a shock, and I was so happy at the thought, but I am not ready for that kind of growth.
How long do your products last?
Like fresh produce, these skincare treats are delicate and perishable. It depends on the product you are using. Coconut Cleansing Milk and Plum + Argan Serum have a shelf life of 12 months. Hydrating Rose Mist, Balancing Orange Mist, Camu Camu Moisturizer have a shelf life of 6 months. Super Fruit Night Treatment must be used within 3 months.
Please store your products in a cool, dry and dark area.
Please avoid exposing moisture, air and sunlight to them.
These products are natural, have little to no preservatives and can grow mold if given the opportunity. Please stop use immediately if you spot any.
Where can I purchase your skincare?
You can order my skincare online through my website, www.chanlachaucosmetics.com.
Can men use these products?
Yes!! Anyone can use my line, including men. I invite them to use it, the ones who do, really like the products!
Can you give me a consultation?
Please e-mail me with your specific skin concerns and what products you are currently using. I would love to help you!
Do you do facials?
No, not at this time.
When can I expect to get my shipment after ordering?
I make my products in micro batches and only ship them fresh which means you may have to wait for a fresh batch to be made. Please know it’s worth the wait to get a freshly poured bottle of skin treats! I also label, package, hand write notes with every order and it takes me time to perfect everything for you. It may take up to 2-3 weeks to get your order.
What if I have a reaction to your products?
If you experience a reaction, stop use immediately and consult with your doctor.
Can I exchange or return an item?
I do not offer any exchanges or returns, but please do reach out to me with any concerns.
