Aurora focus group invites select customers to help test pre-launched products. At present Aurora products are tested by customers with sensitive skin who booked Personalized Consultations.

A 100 g tin can contain 100 g or 100 ml of water. A balm is heavier. We formulate by weight and fill packaging based on specific gravity (sg) value. Which is mass x volume. For our balms, the sg is 0,9. So 0,9 x 100 g = 90 g. This is the amount to be filled but we fill an extra 5 g. Unfortunately, adding more than 97 g overflows and gets stuck to the lid.
It is the same for the 15 g tin. The amount to fill is 13,5 g but just over 14 g is filled. We cannot display 15 ml as a balm is solid and must display in weight.
Please note old labels may still display 15 g or 100 g but the correct weight is provided in our Store for each Product.
We are updating old labels to remain compliant with EU Cosmetic guidelines and true to you, our valued client.
Certain essential oils contain allergens that cause allergic contact dermatitis (eczema) when in contact with skin. Tea tree oil, Lemongrass oil and Sandalwood oil are some of the essential oils that contain allergens.Â
The Cosmetics Regulation 1223/2009 lists the 26 most-known allergenic substances. If you have sensitivities it is best to avoid soaps and natural skincare with essential oils and fragrances.
By law, if a product still contains essential oils or fragrances, specific dermal limits must be adhered to. In addition, these allergens must appear on the label of your cosmetic product.
So keep an eye out for allergens such as Lyral, Citral, Citronellol, Eugenol, Limonene that should be added towards the end of your ingredient list. For a full list check out: https://www.ecomundo.eu/en/blog/cosmetics-allergens-europe-compliance
Yes. Parabens refer to a class of preservatives (Methylparaben, Propylparaben, Butylparaben and Ethylparaben) used in cosmetics.Â
