Brand uses glass, metals & 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.

It is equally important to note that, many harmful compounds found in nail polish are toxic to the environment, which is why it must not thrown out along with your regular trash.

Though Parent brand claims to be working towards recycling plastic, we find that they are equally responsible for contaminating the planet too.
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.

Brand tests on animals when required by law

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.

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