em michele phan

December 3, 2013

"em michelle phan does not test any of our products on animals, nor do we allow anyone to test our products on animals. also, all of our applicators are made with 100% synthetic hair and not use animal hair."

Didn't mention whether the ingredients are tested. Requested clarification. Going to the gray list for now. 

Make-up Studio

"We produce our products here in Holland and we don't test any products or ingredients  an animals."

Didn't mention third-party testing and whether they sell in China. Clarification has been requested, but they go on the Grey list for now. 

Golden Rose

"We have an animal testing policy.
Products and components of products are not being tested on animals.
Vegan is an assertive concept. We provide raw metarial from a lot of country
of the world and some of these raw metarials consist of a few substances. So
we dont assert a claim about this case."

This is a very vague statement. I have requested clarification and will update. Grey list for now. 

Boo-Boo Cover up

June 4, 2015

"Boo-Boo Cover-Up is a wholly owned private company that does not use animal products or test on animals."

Here's a statement I received from the brand. This is not clear to me and I requested clarification. For now they're going to the gray list and I will update once I have more information from the company.

UPDATE:
June 12, 2015

"Yes, our manufacturers provide Origin Statements on individual ingredients in the formula to verify vegan friendliness when required.

Boo-Boo Cover-Up does not distribute directly to China, but International Orders can be placed for individual sales online here:

http://www.booboocoverup.com/International-Orders"

This is the response that I received, still unsure whether their suppliers test or not. They said they verify vegan friendliness, but not animal testing. They stay on gray list for now.

The company answered all of my questions. They themselves don't test on animals, however they don't require verification of that from their suppliers. They're also sold in China and don't offer any vegan or vegetarian options. Not a company I want to support. 

CoTZ

June 3, 2015

I contacted the brand with my list of questions. They responded almost right away with a very clear response to each question and also attached notarized statements about not testing on animals. I'm confident to say that this brand is cruelty-free! They're also 100% vegan. 

TEMPTU

April 24, 2015

"1. TEMPTU products are not tested on animals at any stage of production or the finished product.

2. We do not have a third party that test of animals.
3. Our ingredients are not tested on animals and we not have information available in regards to suppliers and manufacturers requirements.
4. TEMPTU is not owned by patent company. We privately owned.
5. Are products are sold around the world and China. However, they are not test on animals in any country.
6. TEMPTU products do not contain animals products, however, each product available for purchase has their ingredients listed next the description. 

For Example: http://temptu.com/shop/makeup/foundation/air-pod-foundation.html
Unfortunately, our products are not listed as vegan."

This is the response I received from them. They don't require verification from their suppliers and they sell in China. Based on that information, I can't consider them to be Cruelty free. They go on my "Not Cruelty-Free list". The brand is currently pending on Logical Harmony and I'll update when she adds them to one of her lists.
