Hey guys. I wanted to share the correspondence I had with
Hourglass. It’s a good one.
I emailed them saying:
Hello,
My name is Camila Alvarez. I am the writer for HumanelyChic (humanelychic.blogspot.com), a cruelty-free
beauty blog. I am interested in buying from your company but would like to be
assured that your products are cruelty-free. I have some questions I would
appreciate you address. Please be sure to answer all of them as the answers you
provide are very important to both my readers and myself.
1.
Does your company test ingredients or/and finished products on animals?
2.
Do you test ingredients or products on animals through a 3rd party? If your
answer is no, how do you ensure that your manufacturers do not test?
3.
Do your manufacturers test ingredients or products on animals?
4.
Are you owned or affiliated with any companies that test products or
ingredients on animals?
5.
Do you have a parent company? If so who are they?
6.
Do you/your parent company currently or have plans to market and sell your
products in the Chinese market, which requires animal testing by law to sell in
that country?
7.
Do you use palm oil/carnuaba wax in any of your products? If so, is it from an
organic and sustainable source?
8.
Could you provide a list of all of your current vegan items available for
purchase?
Thank you in advance for you cooperation!
By the way, feel free to use this format when you contact
companies. Obviously, use your name.
