Brand uses glass, metal & plastic for their 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.

Parent Brand has announced participation in recycling programs.
However, Post-consumer collection of packaging components is not available in all areas where products are sold.
In developing and third world countries all waste & plastic ends up in landfills.

On PETA list of brands to avoid
Brand tests on animals when required by law

It should be noted, that their parent brand too tests on animals when required by law.

By testing on animals brand can no longer be considered vegan friendly.
