Products
Where can I buy EMIA products?
You can buy our products on our website. At the moment, we do not have any physical stores or resellers.
Are your products safe for pregnant and breastfeeding women?
At EMIA, we attach great importance to the safety and health of our customers, including pregnant or breastfeeding women. We use high-quality natural ingredients in our products, but as each person is different, we recommend consulting your doctor before using any skincare product, including EMIA's, during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
Certain essential oils and plant extracts may not be recommended for pregnant or breastfeeding women, so it is important to discuss the use of skincare products with your doctor to determine if they are suitable for your personal situation.
How can I determine my hair type?
You can determine your hair type by considering the following factors :
Texture: Fine, medium or thick. Fine hair tends to be more fragile and easy to style, while thick hair is often more resistant and difficult to style.
Porosity: This measures your hair's ability to absorb and retain moisture. Hair with low porosity has tightly closed cuticles and is difficult to penetrate with moisture, while high porosity hair has more open cuticles and absorbs moisture easily.
Density: This measures the amount of hair on your head. You can have fine, medium or thick hair regardless of texture.
Curl pattern: If you have curls, their shape can vary from the S-shape to the Z-shape.
By taking these factors into account, you can determine your hair type. For example, you might have fine, high porosity hair with Z-shaped curls. It's important to know your hair type to choose the right hair care products that are suitable for your hair type and to achieve the best results for your hair health.
How to store your products?
To ensure the quality and shelf life of our EMIA products, we recommend storing them in a cool, dry place and away from direct sunlight (for example, in a cabinet or bathroom drawer). The ideal storage temperature is generally below 25°C.
It is also important to keep the products tightly closed after each use to prevent air from entering, which can alter the quality and stability of the natural ingredients.
By following these storage recommendations and using the products before the expiration date, you can extend their shelf life and preserve their effectiveness and quality.
How do I choose EMIA products that are suitable for my skin type?
We have created skincare routines for different skin types (dry skin, oily skin, combination skin, sensitive skin) to help you choose the products that are best for your needs.
What ingredients are used in EMIA products?
We use natural and organic ingredients in our products, such as argan oil, jojoba oil, grape seed oil, rosehip oil, and aloe vera. We avoid harmful ingredients such as parabens, silicones, and sulfates. We source high-quality ingredients from local and international suppliers, ensuring that they are organic or fair trade, and prioritizing the most environmentally-friendly raw materials.
Are EMIA products tested on animals?
No, we are against animal testing and none of our products are tested on animals. We also pay attention to the origin of the ingredients used in our products and work with suppliers who share our commitment to animal welfare.
What is the shelf life of EMIA products?
Please refer to the product label for its shelf life after opening. It is also important to follow the expiration dates indicated on the packaging of our products. When purchasing EMIA products, we recommend checking the expiration date on the packaging and disposing of expired products or products whose texture, color, or smell have changed.
