At Whāro, we recommend the use of oil-based cleansers and/or micellar water suitable to your skin type to assist in the removal of our products. Our formulas are designed for durability and long wear, particularly for performance environments, and may require additional care during removal. Avoid excessive rubbing and discontinue use if irritation occurs.

We recommend performing a patch test prior to full application, particularly if you have sensitive skin or known allergies. Apply a small amount of product to a discreet area of skin and wait 24 hours to observe any reaction. If irritation, redness, or discomfort occurs, discontinue use immediately.

PAO stands for “Period After Opening” and is represented by an open-jar icon with a number indicating how many months a product remains suitable for use once opened. Products containing sunscreen or active ingredients may display an expiration date. These products should not be used beyond the stated date, regardless of whether they have been opened.

Performance may vary depending on skin type, environmental conditions, application method, and skin preparation. Whāro does not guarantee identical wear results for all users. Application practices, placement, and use remain the responsibility of the wearer. Whāro does not claim authority over cultural interpretation, expression, or tikanga associated with use of our products.

To maintain product integrity and performance, store all Whāro products in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and excessive heat. Ensure lids and applicators are securely closed after use. Improper storage may affect product consistency and longevity.

Customers with known sensitivities or skin conditions should review ingredient lists carefully and consult a qualified healthcare professional or dermatologist prior to use. Whāro Cosmetics is cruelty-free. We do not test on animals, nor do we permit third-party suppliers to conduct animal testing on our behalf.
