Ethical skincare is making products and deriving ingredients in an ethical manner. People have become a lot more aware of animal testing in the cosmetic industry and have started making the effort of buying cruelty-free products. Cruelty-free is a term a lot of people use without fully knowing what it means. What makes a product cruelty-free is:
- Finished Products: Their finished products are not tested on animals by the company or any other company.
- Ingredients: Their ingredients are not tested on animals by the company or any other company.
- Suppliers: Their suppliers do not test ingredients, raw materials, or finished products on animals.
- Third Parties: No third party is testing their finished products or ingredients on animals on their behalf.
- Required by Law: They don’t test on animals where the law requires it, and are not sold in mainland China.
