Brand uses glass, metal & plastic for their product packaging.
We have asked them for more information 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.

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

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