No, the LEIA applicator is a non-permeable makeup applicator. It has no channels into the material and cannot absorb any makeup, dead skin or skin oils which are the source of bacterial growth within sponges.

No, LEIA is made from a proprietary designed custom polymer developed over years of research and development. It is designed to eliminate common allergens found in inferior applicators.

Yes, in that it contains no animal products in its composition or testing.

Yes, the hard case is fully recyclable, but it needs to be opened and the small magnets removed (think free fridge magnets!) before recycling. The applicator is a long chain polymer and is recyclable as plastic.

No, it certainly does not.

Not yet. We sell the applicator and custom hard case as a system because they function as a system. The surface of the LEIA is designed to emulate human skin function and has maximized surface area on a microscopic scale, which makes it very good at picking things up. The case prevents dust and other pollutants from reducing the effectiveness of the applicator and provides a hygienic drying environment which prevent bacterial/fungal growth common in all sponges.
