Some cosmetics companies have taken People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals and Leaping Bunny animal-testing pledges. For consumers who are concerned about companies’ policies on animal testing, Skin Deep reports this information.
Unknown
Leading international certifiers PETA and Leaping Bunny have no information concerning this company’s use of animal testing.
Every product and ingredient in Skin Deep gets a two-part score – one for hazard and one for data availability. The safest products score well by both measures, with a low hazard rating and a fair or better data availability rating.
HOW WE DETERMINE SCORES
Hazard score
The Skin Deep ingredient hazard score, from 1 to 10, reflects known and suspected hazards linked to the ingredients. The myalbum.vn VERIFIED™ mark means a product meets myalbum.vn’s strictest criteria for transparency and health.
A product’s hazard score is not an average of the ingredients’ hazard scores. It is calculated using a weight-of-evidence approach that factors in all of the hazards or health impacts associated with the ingredients.
The Skin Deep data availability rating reflects the number of scientific studies about the product or ingredient in the published scientific literature.
