Information
Use of microplastics
This company uses plastic microbeads in some of its personal care products. These particles are not retained by wastewater treatment so end up in the ocean where they contribute to ocean plastic pollution, and are hazardous to sea life. While the effects of microplastics on human health are not completely understood, there are concerns about plastic additives, such as phthalates, which are known endocrine disruptors which are shown to have harmful effects on life.
Modern Slavery statement
California, the UK and Australia have all enacted legislation requiring companies operating within their borders to disclose their efforts to eradicate modern slavery from their operations and supply chains. Follow the link to see this company's disclosure statement.
Animal testing status unknown
This company does not appear on the cruelty free lists of PETA, Leaping Bunny or Choose Cruelty Free. They were previously listed as cruelty free by PETA, but presumably they have been delisted following the brand moving into the Chinese market following a takeover by a Chinese company.
