Brand uses plastic, metal for most product packaging.
We have asked them for further clarity on their recycling policies and plastic content.

It should be noted, that most makeup plastics are difficult to recycle.
So it is always good when brands accept back their empties for sterilizing and recycling and when they offer refills.

Brand is committed to being a 100% cruelty free.
With no animal testing at any stage of production or marketing.

Some products contain Beeswax, Carmine, Squalane~, Lecithin~, Glycerin~, Stearic Acid~
Makeup brushes are made of synthetic fiber
Brand has vegan options**

~can be plant/ animal/ synthetic derived
**users are advised to check product labels for all ingredient content.

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