PRODUCTS
The shelf life varies by product but generally our products stay fresh for 12 – 18 months after opening. Look for the jar icon with a number in the middle on the back of your product packaging to see how many months it will stay good after opening. Consonant products are made with all natural ingredients so they will react to extreme heat or cold. Store your Consonant products at room temperature and out of direct sunlight to maximize product life and efficacy.
As a Canadian owned and operated business, all of our skincare and body care products are proudly made in Canada. We source the highest quality ingredients from around the world but manufacture the final products locally. Accessories are sourced based on quality and may not be made in Canada.
We created the Consonant Clean Ingredient Standard as a clear commitment to a healthier product to support your body, mind, soul, and space. We formulate our products with only 100% natural ingredients, meaning they are either a botanical extract or oil, have been derived from a natural source, or are identical to molecules already found in nature. Our products don’t contain irritating ingredients, non-sustainably sourced ingredients, or ingredients that have been scientifically shown to lead to any negative health outcomes.
Most of our products are gluten-free with a few exceptions:
- Our Hand Creams and Face Creams contain wheat germ oil
- Our Shampoo and Conditioner contain hydrolyzed wheat protein
- Our baby products and Oatmeal Open Stock Soap contain oatmeal
While oatmeal itself doesn't contain gluten, we can't guarantee that the oatmeal hasn't come in contact with wheat before it gets to our facility. Our Vitamin E + Oat Serum contains oat oil but is certified gluten-free.
All of our products are vegan apart from our Body Lotions, which contain beeswax.
Yes, all of our products are Peta Cruelty-Free Certified, meaning none of our products or ingredients are tested on animals. We only test on ourselves and willing human friends.
We use GMO-free, organic ingredients whenever possible. Many of our products are made with 70-90% certified organic, GMO-free ingredients, but we don’t have any products that are certified 100% GMO-free.
We believe in skin science. That’s why we evaluate not just ingredients for safety and efficacy, but we also carry out third party clinical trials to compare our final products against industry leaders. Clinically proven means you can be confident that Consonant products will outperform both natural and traditional skin care based on third-party double-blind testing methodology.
All of our products except for Maximum Glycolic Meta Serum, DHE Mask and Vitamin C + Licorice Serum. Some doctors recommend avoiding salicylates, like those found in the Maximum Glycolic Meta Serum and DHE Mask at 0.1%. Some doctors also recommend avoiding licorice extract which is found in our Vitamin C + Licorice Extract at 1% so we recommend checking in with your doctor before using them.
