Is Benefit Cruelty Free or Does it Test? [2020 Update]

Nos gustaría que Benefit revelara que no se realizan pruebas en sus ingredientes. Sí declaran que todos sus productos se fabrican en Europa.

…así que esto es algo bueno, ya que la Unión Europea ha prohibido las pruebas en los ingredientes.

Benefit debería declarar con orgullo que no hacen pruebas en los ingredientes, ya que es importante destacar este aspecto positivo de la fabricación de sus productos.

¿Es Benefit apto para veganos?

Benefit no es vegano. No proporcionan un etiquetado vegano en los productos, ni están certificados como veganos ni con Leaping Bunny ni con Peta. Es probable que algunos de sus productos contengan ingredientes de origen animal, ya que estos suelen ser menos costosos de obtener como ingredientes cosméticos.

Es seguro asumir que si una marca no ha declarado su estatus vegano permite el uso de ingredientes de origen animal en sus formulaciones. La mayoría de las marcas no son veganas porque es mucho más caro abastecerse y gestionar las materias primas veganas a través de las cadenas de suministro.

Ingredientes comunes de origen animal

Los ingredientes que suelen proceder de animales incluyen:

• Hyaluronic Acid – often found in serums and moisturizers
• Retinol – found in some night creams
• Carmine – often found in blush and lipstick
• Stearic Acid – found in skin creams
• Glycerin – a humectant found in many moisturizers
• Lanolin – in some moisturizers
• Lactic Acid – found in some Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHAs)
• Beeswax – often found in lipstick and lip balms
• Animal hair – used in makeup brushes
• Guanine – can be used in nail polish and eye shadow
• Keratin – in hair and nail products
• Squalene – in moisturizers, eye creams and facial oils

The bottom line with vegan cosmetics is it’s really difficult to tell from the ingredient list if the source is animal or synthetic versions. As shoppers we can only rely on vegan labelling, certification and other disclosures offered by the brand.

If a product is not advertised and labelled as 100% vegan you should assume it contains animal-derived ingredients.

We also want to understand if the entire brand is vegan… or just select products.

For ethical reasons many people now only use vegan products from a brand that is 100% vegan and free of animal ingredients.
