A catchy title, bright and cheerful packaging and ingredients harvested from mother nature herself? It’s impossible not to fall head over heels for Drunk Elephant skincare.
Drunk Elephant began its journey with a very frustrated Tiffany Masterson and a quest for the seemingly intractable. Why was it so difficult to find toiletry products which tailored to different kinds of skin types while containing natural and safe ingredients? Was it really impossible to treat our skin without chemicals and additives? Masterson wanted answers. In 2014, her tireless experimentation, self-education and determination paid off and Drunk Elephant was released to the public, with a collection of simple and natural products. Now a 25 million dollar empire, Masterson’s line is taking the skincare world by storm.
The Drunk Elephant ambition: a skincare line based in biocompatibility with a focus on diverse complexions and clinical safety for their customers. You won’t find essential oils, drying alcohols, silicones, fragrance/dyes or SLS (aka the suspicious six) in any of their 30 plus natural products. With pronounceable, natural ingredients, even young children have jumped on the Drunk Elephant bandwagon. Masterson’s kids use several of her company’s products such as her Umbra Sheer sunscreen and Pekee cleansing bar.
It’s likely you’ll fall in love with the first product you try and (good news!) Drunk Elephant has more products to go with it. The Slaai Makeup-Melting Butter Cleanser, Virgin Marula Facial Oil and Lala Retro Whipped Cream are a must. If you’re curious about their product, you can try Drunk Elephant’s The Littles Set™, consisting of a collection of assorted sample sized creams, lotions and serums.
The quest for natural, safe and diverse skincare has ended. It’s up to you to treat your complexion. Products can be found on Drunk Elephant’s official website, but if you simply can’t wait any longer, your local Sephora has your back. No skin hangovers, no nonsense. Just honest results for a better you!
