Frequently asked questions

 

Do you test on animals?

Are your products suitable for sensitive skin?

Apart from our nail polishes, all our products are certified BDIH Natural and some are certified COSMOS Organic meaning only natural and organic ingredients are used. There are no harsh chemicals involved in the manufacturing process which makes them suitable for all skin types. Although not certified, our nail varnishes are now free from 20 harsh chemicals and are plant-based. For more information, please see our Certification page.


Is your packaging recyclable?

Yes, our packaging can be recycled. A lot of our products come in plastic tubes which are recyclable.

However, the particle size of the talc in our products is of a size that cannot enter the respiratory tract, besides the fact that mineral pigments and mineral particles used in pressed powder formulations and in liquid formulations are usually not inhaled, at least not within normal usage. In our textures Talc is still a harmless ingredient that is also used from many other natural cosmetics manufacturers. All our contract manufacturers confirm that the quality of the used Talc in our products is free from asbestos.
