• Do you work with any third party who tests products on your behalf?

• Do you sell any of your cosmetics in mainland China? (China requires that all foreign companies who sell products there must test them on animals.)

Today, thousands of ingredients have already been proven safe and require no additional testing. Furthermore, many technological advances are making … Read the rest
