The European Union Guidelines - We produce every product according to the European Union (EU) Guidelines for Good Manufacturing Practices, which regulate the quality of ingredients and the full disclosure of ingredients by the International Nomenclature of Cosmetic Ingredients (INCI) guidelines. In regards to safety, EU regulations require ingredient testing and safety guidelines go through the SCCS, which is a scientific advisory committee appointed by the EU Commission.  This means that cosmetics and personal care products produced according to these EU Directives do not contain any chemicals known, or suspected, of causing cancer, genetic mutation, reproductive harm or birth defects.  Our production is certified according to the EU Eco-Regulations and approved by the French Ministry of Health.

PETA’s Caring Consumer Program – All of our products are vegan and cruelty-free, having met the strict criteria of the Caring Consumer Program.

The Coalition for Consumer Information on Cosmetics – We love animals and, therefore, enforce a strict “no testing on animals” policy during all phases of product development.

The Leaping Bunny Program provides the best assurance that no new animal testing is used in any phase of product development by the company, its laboratories, or suppliers.
