We believe it is unnecessary to test on animals and that it is also
unscientific as many animals do not have similar immune systems
or skin tissue to humans.
It has consistently been demonstrated that animal products do not
add benefit to a skin cream. Putting ingredients like collagen, taken
from a dead animal does not create the production of collagen in
our skin tissue. Collagen can only have an effect by being injected
under the epidermal layer. When it gradually breaks down over 6
months to a year and is removed by the blood as toxins and waste
product.
Today cells can be cultivated in vitro for testing purposes and we
have used this methodology to assess some of our own
ingredients. We have not had any of our products tested on
animals nor do we accept product ingredients from our suppliers
that have been tested on animals.
Having live plant nutrients available as raw materials that the body
can absorb and process and use as building blocks is far more
beneficial. Hence the Living Nature products provide nutrient rich
oils and extracts that promote and protect the skins natural
processes
Animal Ingredients
We do not agree with killing animals for beauty's sake and apart
from beeswax, honey and carmine, no ingredients are derived from
animals.
