Recycling policy is unclear.
Brand uses glass, metal & plastic for their product packaging.

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.

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

It should be noted that their Parent Brand too test on animals when required by Law.

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

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

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.
