We believe sustainability can be luxurious.  We also believe ingredients matter and expect personal care products to be just as beautiful and pure as they are effective.  Our expectation is that these products exist without known and suspected endocrine disruptors, carcinogens, and other common toxins often lurking in conventional products. At Lala & Elm, we believe in offering healthier brands to enhance your natural beauty.  With over 1,300 chemicals banned from cosmetics in the European Union, the United States lags behind with less than 30.  Below are just a few of concerning common chemicals often found in conventional products in the United States.
