Why We Are Different, Our Philosophy & Some FAQ's
Hello and Welcome!
My name is Charlette, my near and dear simply call me Char.
About 12 years ago...I ran out of a serum I purchased from my dermatologist. I spent almost $100 on it, and it lasted only 45 days. At this rate, just this ONE skincare treatment would cost about $800 per year! I asked myself, "Is this serum truly worth the price tag"?
Around the same time, I traveled to southern France to visit relatives and fell in love with the area's skincare companies! Well before it became popular in the States, they were using the wealth of ingredients available in their natural environment. I toured some smaller artisanal companies as well as larger, well-established companies.
It was heavenly!
Inspired, I became obsessed, and my passion for skincare chemistry was born! After much study in skincare chemistry and years of formulating, people said:
"You should start your own company." I took their good advice!
Char's Effectives Philosophy is Simple
We are Where Science & Nature Blend Beautifully for You
- We develop Effective skincare products made with premium, quality, and mostly natural ingredients.
- We offer you quality products at down-to-earth prices.
- No marketing gimmicks or hype. Period.
- Be the skincare company that informs you and cares about your results.
Char's Effective Skincare Products and Benefits to You
I had troubled skin in the past, and it cost me a small fortune to get skincare products — many with disappointing results. It became clear that many skincare products were not only unreasonably expensive... but also didn't deserve their hype!
So why choose Char's Effective Skincare?
- We don't like skincare "fads". We do like clinically proven science.
- We meticulously choose ingredients with purpose. We formulate with clinically proven Effective ingredients.
- We use meaningful ingredients in meaningful amounts. We don't sprinkle ingredients just for "label appeal".
A Word about Informing You
A website developer told me our Product Pages are too long and have too much information. Hmmm...I respectfully disagree. Our philosophy is to provide you with as much information as possible. Our reason? An informed person makes wise decisions!
Our Pricing Philosophy
We offer our products only on our website. We don't work with third-party distributors (Amazon, etc.) or retail outlets — because we would need to increase our prices substantially. Each third party takes their cut, and, well, raising prices to be on more sites isn't how we'd like our brand to grow. This way we can continue to provide the best quality to you at the most reasonable prices possible.
Our prices aren't inflated so we can run artificial "sales." When we have a sale — it's a real sale.
We count on your satisfaction and your willingness to spread the word about us. Our growth has been amazing because of you!
A Word About Natural, "Free From" Claims and Marketing Gimmicks
The current rage is all about "Natural", "Organic", and "Free From" claims in the skincare industry. This arena is full of poorly worded marketing gimmicks. We're simply not about gimmicks.
We strive to use mostly natural ingredients. Many of the ingredients we use are ECOCert and NaTrue.
We would never, ever test on animals nor source any ingredients that would involve animal cruelty.
Rather than going on about what we Don't have in our products, we believe in honestly informing you of what wonderful ingredients we DO have in our products! Isn't that better than a phony "Free-From" halo?
We Care!
While we're an online store and can't see you face-to-face, our goal is to make you feel like you've opened the door to our store with a warm "Welcome"!
We're not "edgy".
We believe in personalized service. Sometimes a customer will let us know about an allergy, a particular skin concern, or specific questions. We encourage you to ask via Info@charseffectives.com. We'll answer you swiftly! No "Bot" or AI answers. Promise!
We also welcome suggestions and ideas! Sometimes that is how we develop new products. You inspire new ideas when we see a need!
We treat every customer with respect and great care.
We always want you to feel as special as you are!
A Word about Packaging
We carefully package your orders like a gift. We hope every package is a delight to receive! We use biodegradable shipping materials (mostly recycled paper or biodegradable packing peanuts); however, sometimes we must sparingly use a little bubble wrap to protect glass-bottled products in transit.
We ask our eco-conscious customers to recycle empty containers. We use recycling services for all of our lab material waste.
