Since 2021 SkinLabo has been officially certified Cruelty-Free by PETA, confirming our commitment not to test on animals at any stage of the production process. This certification is the result of rigorous testing that ensures that our products, as well as all ingredients used, have not been tested on animals. An achievement of which we are deeply proud.
World Animal Day and the importance of Cruelty-Free
On 4 October, World Animal Day, we want to reflect on the importance of protecting not only pets, but also animals involved in industrial processes, including cosmetic testing. In the past, millions of animals, such as rabbits, mice and guinea pigs, have been used to test the safety of cosmetic products. Thanks to the efforts of associations like PETA and the growing commitment of brands like SkinLabo, the industry is changing.
Why is choosing cruelty-free cosmetics so important?
Every year, an estimated 115 million animals are used for scientific and cosmetic tests worldwide. Although the European Union has banned these tests, in many countries, animal testing is still a reality. Alternative methods such as in vitro tests or tests with cellular models, besides being more ethical, have proven to be safer and more accurate, guaranteeing more reliable results for human health.
The future of beauty: vegan and cruelty-free
SkinLabo is about to complete its transition to a fully vegan line, ensuring that our products are not only not tested on animals, but that they do not contain any ingredients of animal origin. This step is not only an ethical commitment, but also a sustainable choice. Vegan alternatives, such as plant-derived collagen, offer equal (if not superior) quality to traditional alternatives, without negative impacts on animals.
Conscious beauty
As part of World Animal Day, we want to make our customers aware of the importance of making conscious choices. Buying cruelty-free products is not only a gesture of love towards animals, but also an act of responsibility towards the planet and our health. The impact of cruelty-free cosmetics extends beyond animal welfare, positively influencing sustainability and innovation in the industry.
The skincare that cares!
SkinLabo is and will continue to be at the forefront of the battle for more ethical and sustainable beauty. With our upcoming transition to a vegan line and our continued cruelty-free commitment, we want to be an example of how it is possible to create effective, high-quality products without compromising animal lives or welfare.
Thank you for your support. Together, we can contribute to a world where beauty does not come at a cost to animals.
