FAQ'S

We believe that wellness isn't just the absence of disease. We believe that wellness is having an equal balance of homeostasis between the mind, the body and the spirit. There are many products, tools and sciences that can help achieve that. At Faeve, we believe in using science, education from experts in their fields and intuitive education to formulate products, courses and educational programs. This gives us the power to achieve positive results for our customers and clients. 

Faeve was started simply because there was so much false information out there. Owning alternative medical clinics for the past 15 years, the owner saw how many of the company's patients were damaging themselves under the guise of “going natural”. 

It was from there that Faeve was started from a “science first” aspect. We follow changes in scientific opinion regularly so we can tell you, our customer, the most up to date information.

We also understand that a person’s genetic and environmental makeup makes everyone an individual. No one has the same body chemistry, thought process or belief systems. That is what makes us all unique. We are constantly working within those parameters to customize what wellness means to each individual person. We simply use our makeup as unique individuals as a foundation and then research what others are interested in. We see ourselves more as facilitators of individual wellness rather than just a “natural product business”.

We find the term “organic” to be a double edged sword. We use everything naturally whenever possible. This means that some of our products may come from the most incredible sources in the world, but they come straight from the ground (sometimes known as wildcrafted) and are not processed, so there would be no organic determination on them. A better question would be to ask us, are all your products clean? Meaning no toxins or other dangerous substances. The answer to that question is yes.

All herbs that we use in our teas are FDA organically certified or organically certified by a 3rd party certification company listed within the FDA. This is where we can say that we are 100% organic. We know that if you are ingesting herbs, we don’t want anything but the best and believe that certification is needed. 

Under Faeve Naked Oils, our citrus oils are all organic. Some of the others are what we call “conventional”. Conventional oils still have 3rd party Certificates of Analysis and testing requirements by us. These reports also show us if any toxins are present. We look at CoA from our distillers prior to purchase. The truth is, some farmers and distillers don’t need to get “organic” certification because of the way the plants grow or are processed. This usually comes down to the type of plant being distilled (leaf, root, rind) and the process (steam distillation, cold press etc) the plant is processed.

To be labeled organic, your product has to be a certain percentage “organic”. We list on our website what our percentages are. This is because to make a cream or lotion, we use a percentage of oil, water and sometimes hydrosols. While these products may be organic, the chemicals we use to mix them  (emollients, humectants, preservatives, straight terpenes, emulsifiers) are synthetically made in order to get the texture we desire. These cannot be organically certified. However,all of our products are free of toxins and synthetic materials that are “bad” for you. So you will see that our products may be 82% organic, or 89% organic. This just means that the other percentage is made up of chemicals to bind the products that are toxin free and clean. 

Our Founder, Meredith, knew from the very beginning that education and information is what leads this industry. Having a degree and background in business, she sources all her material directly keeping material costs low. This means a lot of overhead is subscribing to different platforms from the best educators, databases and associations in the industry. While her formal training was complete a long time ago, Faeve works regularly on other courses, scientific databases, webinars and conferences where new science and information is constantly coming out. The cost of this is rolled into our overhead giving the end consumer faith in the knowledge that everything we do and promote is solid, proven information. 

These two creams took approximately 6 months of research and development to create. The idea was to be able to get the beneficial plant materials through the layers of the skin at optimal percentages and not just through one layer of the skin, which most creams do. 

We use a variety of different ingredients that have been studied to work together to go past the first layer of skin to give the cream a more therapeutic experience.

Please see our ingredient data sheets. We purposely do not hide behind our ingredients. 90% of our ingredients including emulsifiers are plant-based. We use organic plant-based materials whenever possible. 

The pain support creams have different responsibilities.

 Kalo for instance is to support anti-inflammatory activities. This means you may not feel the effects of it right away, but rather after a few weeks of use. These ingredients are based on supporting anti-inflammatory activity and continued use is how this happens. 

Levo on the other hand, was created to offer support immediately to the affected area. The ingredients in this cream were formulated to work on supporting the musculoskeletal system immediately. 

It is important to note since these are plant-based creams, regular application is advised. 

We advise you to use these creams up to 5 times a day.  If there is an acute situation, using up to 10 times a day is recommended, however, this is the exception, not the rule. Overuse may cause a skin reaction after a longer period of time. 

Upon vigorous testing, these pain support creams do not interact with any oral or other topical medications. 

The best way to apply these creams is to start with an application about the size of a quarter to the affected area. Less is usually more. For larger areas (such as a whole leg, start with a quarter size amount and add more until the whole area is lightly covered. 

These creams are safe for teenagers and above. We do not suggest putting them on younger children due to dosage and safety purposes. 

To err on the side of caution we suggest that pregnant women only use these creams from 2nd trimester on and do not use them when breastfeeding.

People who have allergies to daisies or ragweed are encouraged to patch test the product first before initial application. This means taking a very tiny amount and putting on your inner arm. If there is no reaction after an hour, there should be no issues with continued use. If any type of reaction happens (small hives or redness) discontinue use and please let us know.

Our pain support creams are plant-based. This means that both creams have scents in them. There are no synthetic fragrances in them, however, essential oils, plant extracts, and plant chemical constituents can have scents that may smell “green and medicinal”. 

There are no restrictions to using our pain support creams with other medications.

For those who need support for chronic issues. We suggest using the Levo in the morning on the affected area and Kalo in the evening before bed.
