Beauty From Mars

I discovered this: The Paula's Choice website says they do NOT include companies that sell to China but the list is full of unsafe brands that "test when required by law" or sell to China... I have e-mailed them... Amore Pacific: Korean beauty brand sold in China. Aveda: DHC: Nars:  credit to If I Don't See the Bunny, You Don't Get My Money Laura Mercier: credit to HumanelyChic

Dear Valued Customer, Missha US specifically is against animal cruelty, so we do not test our products on animals. Please note that some of our products do have animal ingredients, however, it does not harvest any harm to the animals. For example, we use pearl powder, deer antler, snail mucus, etc. We do sell our products in China and needs to go through procedures and regulations made by the Chinese government. For more details on testing and certification with KARA Korea or the Leaping Bunny, please inquire at  Missha.co.kr . We hope that we answered your questions. Thank You. Regards, Missha US Asking 3 more times about ingredients finally yielded this answer: We regret to inform you that we do not have that information.

Having read that they were cruelty free, and contacting JAVA (Japan) for confirmation, I learned that JAVA had confirmed that Canmake & Koji did not test but were unsure if they sold in China. I contacted both and received an immediate response form both. Koji said that they needed to ask headquarters and Kaori from Canmake answered my questions herself. Hello. I was wondering if you could answer a few questions for me. 1. Do you or any third parties test your products on animals?    (NO) 2. Do you or any third parties test the ingredients in your products on animals?   (We don't want, but we can't check)  Because the raw materials which we use are things with the results  that were already used as cosmetics, it is not necessary to test them newly.  That is why we do not do the animal test to raw materials.  However, we do not know that they did an animal test or not when they developed the ...

I bought this on accident when I went to the store looking for this brand's lipgloss. I had bought the lipgloss on a whim because it was so cheap -$2.99- and loved it. I NEVER repeat buy. So I went back to try and find another one and much to my dismay, that color was gone. I needed a new blac...

 I contacted a few of these brands in 2014 and have the results below... Yet even some of them that operate USA or international sites have not responded, which I find to be more rude and unprofessional as they are catering to Western customers by putting up the website, then declining to follow through. Some brands have it listed right on the site if you know where to look! 1. The top menu might have the flags of the countries they sell to 2. The top or bottom may have a locations link that tells you where their stores are located. 3.  There may be a link at the top that takes you to each international site. 4. At the bottom they might have contact info for each country. "Can you just tell me what companies DO sell in China? I don't feel like scrolling." Companies that sell in China (according to their websites) •  Clio / Peripera/ Goodal • Banila Co. • Elizavecca • Amore Pacific: Etude House/ Innisfree/ Laneige/IOPE etc. • Missha (they actually lie...

AmorePacific (parent company) announced they would no longer test on animals, but they refuse to pull out of China ($_$). Thus they cannot be considered cruelty-free. REVIEW Summary: Price: *** $22 Size: ** 40 ml Packaging: *** Pale yellow metal can with a spray nozzle Scent: *** No real scent. A faint scent that I cannot describe. Not nice but not bad. Color/Shade: N/A Only one available Texture: * thick, foamy Ease of use: **  Easy to press the nozzle and get it out, but it gives you away more than you need for your face and you will waste more than you will use. Very thick, but blends into skin with under 4 all over rubs. Effect: ** It feels thick going on but once it sits on your skin for a few minutes, the heavy feeling goes away. It also blends in about 4 rubs with too much and 2 rubs with the right amount, but it gets stuck in any crevices,etc. and they look darker than the rest of your skin. The shade itself on my skin also has a sligh...
