They use plastic, metal and glass for most product packaging.
Brand accepts old empty product containers/ jars/ tubes to be recycled at their stores.

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 tests on animals when required by law.

It should be noted that Parent Brand too is not cruelty-free.

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

Though brand is transparent with labelling and gives transparency in the supply chain for palm oil & mica, they need to clearly indicate transparency in sourcing of ingredients like Shea which can have fairtrade issues.

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.
