Elevating Your Skin with Vapour Beauty

Organically grown, naturally derived and minimally processed makeup by Vapour Beauty

How Vapour Beauty come to be?

Krysia Boinis is the creative force behind Vapour Beauty’s branding and marketing strategies. Committed to living a health-centered life after surviving a life-threatening stage 3 cancer diagnosis, Krysia truly understands the benefit of positive living. Her wellness ethos stems from a childhood of making skincare and makeup from plants and food in the kitchen with her mom’s one rule, “Use anything but what’s under the kitchen sink.” In other words, don’t use toxic chemicals. 

Kristine Keheley is the colorist and formulator behind Vapour’s innovative, clean formulas. She is also an established fine artist. Her masterful blending of mineral pigments creates Vapour’s palette of modern, classic color. Kristine is passionate about revolutionizing product performance with a commitment to ingredient and supply chain integrity. 

Krysia and Kristine came together with a shared vision to create clean makeup that would capture the ethereal light of Taos and give skin a lit-from-within-glow. They saw space for improvement in clean color cosmetics, there were no makeup brands that offered great performance or depth and breadth of color. In 2009 Vapour was born.

How do you keep your products clean and sustainable?

We prefer organically grown, naturally derived and minimally processed ingredients. We source ingredients from all over the globe, wherever they are the purest and most potent. And we always consider the impact sourcing has on habitat, water supplies and aquatic life. Our facility in Taos, NM is 100% daylight solar. All electricity used at our headquarters for product manufacturing, fulfillment and warehousing comes from the Sun. 97% of our products are waterless which preserves this precious resource in our high desert environment. We also offer juicy incentives for customers to return empty packaging to us for responsible recycling through Terracycle. (Return 4 empties to earn $15 off your next order)

What should people know about your business and story?
