Not another beauty line…snooze. But it’s organic…ho hum. It was co-founded by the former business partner and dear friend of Kevyn Aucoin who left the company when the legendary makeup artist passed away…yes, please.
Before launching Vapour, his new beauty company, Eric Sakas worked closely with Mr. Aucoin since 1993 in various capacities including managing production, snapping many of the pix for Making Faces and Face Forward, Aucoin’s New York Times bestselling beauty books, and generally helping to grow the brand. Most importantly, he learned Mr. Aucoins coveted techniques of makeup application. And when he received an unlabeled cosmetic sample and was so blown away by the performance, texture and finish, he was compelled to track down the manufacturer – and thus a new truly 21st century beauty brand was born. Vapour is a range of organic, universally flattering cosmetics that uses a unique, high-performance delivery system not a powder, liquid or cream – to impart a light-as-air texture while providing skin treatment benefits and rich mineral color.
The Vapour difference begins with its signature therapeutic treatment base of certified organic, light, dry plant oils that are non-comedogenic. To that proprietary base, specific certified organic botanical infusions with targeted benefits are added to provide deep moisture and anti-oxidant protection. Pure mineral pigments are dispersed in the base of the cosmetics, creating a breathable layer that is unlike typical color cosmetics: instead of laying flat and lifeless, it moves with the skin, creating a play of light that appears completely seamless with natural skin & heightens its natural radiance. Vapour has also formulated virtually all of its products in a convenient stick form for precision application, portability, and ease of use.
And best of all, Vapour has developed all of its products to be 100 percent natural and chemical free with a minimum of 70 percent certified organic ingredients. Each utilizes food-grade and certified organic ingredients to offer maximum efficacy while respecting the environment and its resources. From raw materials to utilizing wind power, sourcing recyclable & renewable packaging materials, and the easy-to-use stick formulation, Vapour adheres to responsible, sustainable practices.
