Hey friends!
A couple of days ago on my Facebook page I promised to post my correspondence with Besame Cosmetics. Sorry, it has taken me a while. I've had a long week.
I emailed Besame Cosmetics using the template I always use.
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!
If you email companies feel free to use the format above as a guide or exactly as is! Just make sure you use your name!
Here is Besame's Reply.
Greetings, Camila!
Thank you for your interest in Besame Cosmetics!
1.Does your company test ingredients or/and finished products on animals?
We never test on animals for anything we produce.
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?
No ingredients or products tested on animals. We are an independent local manufacture, so we are the ones to decide how the products are tested.
3. Do your manufacturers test ingredients or products on animals?
No.
4. Are you owned or affiliated with any companies that test products or ingredients on animals?
No
.5.Do you have a parent company? If so who are they?
N/A
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?
No.
7. Do you use palm oil/carnuaba wax in any of your products? If so, is it from an organic and sustainable source?
We use Carnuaba wax in our lipstick. None of our ingredients are organic because a lot of ingredients we use do not come in an organic form.
8. Could you provide a list of all of your current vegan items available for purchase?
Our Cream Rouge, Crimson and Apricot are Vegan.I'm glad that they addressed and answered all the questions. I would feel safe purchasing from them! They were very nice and open throughout our correspondence, which has nothing to do with their cruelty-free status but it's much appreciated.
Please let us know should you have any other questions, we are here to help!
Warmest Regards,
What do you think? Do you think their reply is thorough enough? If you have any questions you would like me to ask Besame? Let me know !!
Lots of Love,
Camila
