The GAYA chain presents a mineral and vegan beauty collection with added value – natural, nurturing, and kosher makeup products for use on Shabbat and holidays. The products are free of oils and creams, and therefore do not include the prohibition of spreading, do not stick to the skin, and are not considered coloring, making them suitable for Shabbat makeup laws without concern of smudging.
The collection includes:
Powder Mineral Foundation 4-in-1 – foundation, powder, concealer, and natural sunscreen in one product, providing a uniform, natural, and lightweight appearance, suitable for the Israeli climate and all skin types, including sensitive and acne-prone skin.
Kabuki Brush – a high-quality brush for professional and comfortable use, with dense synthetic hair and ergonomic design.
Powder Mineral Blush – based on natural ingredients, paraben-free, highlighting facial features gently and naturally.
Mineral Shimmer – for a luminous, radiant, and precise look on the cheekbones and face.
A key advantage of the mineral foundation is its kosher certification for use on Shabbat and holidays, approved by the Badatz "Beit Yosef" supervision. Being powdered and free of wet and oily components ensures compliance with the three Halachic prohibitions of Shabbat makeup:
It is not considered coloring because it is powdered and does not stick to the skin, it is not a spreading substance as it contains no wet ingredients, and it does not require erasing since the makeup naturally dissipates, allowing for makeup renewal during Shabbat and holidays.
The foundation is simple and convenient to use, with coverage that builds according to the number of layers, maintaining a well-groomed, natural, and kosher look.
The brand also offers an innovative shopping experience – matching the perfect foundation shade personally, either through an online shade-matching questionnaire that provides a 99% accurate result or via a selfie sent to the company's WhatsApp customer service.
The service provides an exceptionally easy, convenient, and precise shopping experience, with a 100% guarantee on the foundation shade – exchanges or shade corrections are possible free of charge within 14 days, with home delivery.
After trying it myself, I must compliment the makeup artists on the website’s WhatsApp service: they managed to match my exact shade surprisingly well without my needing to visit the store physically. I felt that it was a highly professional team that truly understands the customer’s needs. Beyond that, the products themselves are very high quality, pleasant on the skin, and long-lasting.
I was definitely impressed – and this is one of the companies I will definitely return to again and again.
GAYA Mineral Foundation combines natural beauty with kosher values and Halacha, and is especially suitable for women looking for high-quality, safe makeup suitable for the climate and for Shabbat and holidays.
