**zoobop has asked the parent brand for transparency in the supply of Mica sourced.
To know about more Mica and how it can be unethically sourced, watch this post, https://www.zoobop.com/post-detail.aspx?id=4

***we have asked for clarity on fair trade source

Some product contain B.H.T, P.E.Gs, Formaldehyde Releasers, Microcrystalline Wax, Petrolatum, Parabens, Polyethylene, Mineral Oils, Zinc Oxide/ Titanium Dioxide*, Palm Oil**, Acrylates Copolymer***
It is unclear how long their sheet mask takes to decompose as waste (under normal conditions)****
we have asked for brand more clarity

Hair Sprays in aerosol cans have propellants containing hydrocarbons which contribute to global warming.
CFC-free aerosols too emit the volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which affect the ozone and the environment.

*unclear if this is non nano/ we have asked the brand for further information
**sustainable source/ Parent brand is part of RSPO

Petrolatum is bad for the planet & you, brands using this ingredient need to use a conscious alternate.
To understand why Petrolatum should be avoided as an ingredient check this post https://www.zoobop.com/post-detail.aspx?id=6

***not clear if this is water soluble/ we have asked the brand for clarity
****zoobop recommends using eco-friendly masks instead of single sheet masks.
There is not enough data on waste from single use sheet masks yet but numbers can be similar to that of single use make up wipes that are thrown away by the millions every day. These can take hundreds of years to break down in a landfill.

Brand uses plastics for products packaging.
Dove has announced launching its new 100% recycled plastic (PCR) bottles.
Though Parent brand claims to be working towards recycling policies, we find that they are equally responsible for contaminating the planet too.
In developing and third world countries all waste & plastic ends up in landfills.
We are unclear on the recycle policy / decompose time of their single use sheet masks - we have asked the brand for more clarity on this*.

It should be noted that, Propellants in aerosol cans are highly flammable and can cause explosions and start fires.
Empty aerosol cans are considered as hazardous waste in the USA and many countries.

This is a bit of a grey area.
Though Brand is PETA certified, because it claims to manufacture within China for China. The problem is that there is no surety on the transparency of raw materials used and sourced in China. There can be no guarantee that the raw materials were not tested at any stage of production nor can the brand guarantee that their products may or may not be subject to animal testing at any time if authorities in China deem it necessary (and they can do this without any prior notice).

It should be noted that their Parent brand tests on animals when required by law.

*it always best to write to the brand for more details on an ingredient origin.

Synthetic fragrance are known to contain a mix of various toxins - unless these are clearly and transparently mentioned as complete fragrance by the brand. Unfortunately very few brands give complete fragrance info as they consider this as proprietary information. When it comes to Synthetic fragrance this is tricky as they can be known pollutants in it.

Though brand is transparent with labelling, they need to clearly indicate transparency in sourcing of ingredients like Mica & Shea.
