This product is vegan, non-toxic, cruelty-free, and free of all synthetic chemicals, artificial fragrances, fillers, gluten, and GMOs. At the top of the Beauty Elixir formula, you will notice a tiny ring of darker colored liquid, which is intentional. This ring is simply the natural, essential oil components of the Beauty Elixir that have separated from the water components due to the lack of chemical emulsifiers found within the product. Simply shake the contents before spraying to combine the components.
