Does Pot of Glow come in different shades?
Pot Of Glow does not come in different shades. Pot Of Glow actually does not impart any colour like a concealer, bb cream or foundation would. It contains a universal glow blend which lends a healthy glow to all skin tones. It was designed to provide instant glow and luminosity without any coverage.
Is Pot of Glow suitable for all skin types?
Yes Pot of Glow was formulated with all skin types in mind. We wanted to create a luminizing pudding that is moisturizing yet not heavy. Pot Of Glow is exactly that. It creates a buttery smooth look to skin without being oily or rich. You can also control the amount of moisture you require by applying less or more product. Oilier skin types can apply less product whereas drier can types can apply more product or even layer the product on.
Is Pot of Glow Vegan friendly?
Pot Of Glow is vegetarian friendly. It contains vegan/vegetarian friendly ingredients as well as a beeswax derivative. Because beeswax is not classified as vegan, the product is vegetarian friendly, not vegan.
