I am ever more disheartened that Hourglass is now owned by Unilever. Their Mineral Veil product is the very best primer available as far as I’m concerned. I’ve used this primer for two years because of my acne scars. No longer will I purchase any Hourglass cosmetic; I will not support Unilever in any way.
So when you buy this products you’re also givin money to the “mother-company”. I’m glad that none of my make up brands are listed under non cruelty-free brands. I couldn’t help but feel frustrated and sad at the same time.
From now on, NARS is going to test on animals where required by law, meaning they are no longer cruelty-free. For the majority of these cases, the brands are sold in China, where animal testing is mandatory by law for foreign cosmetics. It’s important to read the fine print when reading brand policies, as many of them will claim to be cruelty-free but then include a clause about “except when required by law”. If they are sold in stores in China, this clause then means that they are not a cruelty-free brand. In order for a company like Clinique to sell their products in stores in mainland China, they have to comply with their animal testing laws.
As a bonus, they also contain more natural ingredients. Some of them are often mistaken for being cruelty-free, but sadly this is not the case. I’ve included a brief description of each company’s policy to explain why they aren’t cruelty-free. A product line in business is a group of related products under the same brand name manufactured by a company. Known around the world for its professional quality of cosmetic products, Mac Cosmetics branded as M•A•C was developed in Canada in 1984. Estee Lauder’s acquisition of the company in 1994 was a strategic move to add a line of makeup products that would be suitable for makeup artists as well as standard clients.
It’s so upsetting that no cruelty-free brand has managed to do a truly good waterproof mascara. The industry cannot catch up fast enough for me. It being genifique such a basic makeup product just makes it a tad more frustrating. I will write down all these brands and keep the list in my bag and on my desk.
However, I do not have a problem going there and buying my vegan food, because I know that with my money I am taking a vote. The supermarket chain isn’t in the business of exploiting animals, it is in the business of making money. Estee Lauder makeup So the more people buy vegan options, the more vegan options there would be, and less corpses on display. My favorite foundation is Make Up Forever ultra hd. Since becoming vegan last summer, I have been researching other options.
