Oriflame Animal Friendly Products
Oriflame is proud of its longstanding pro-active animal welfare policy, and only “animal friendly” ingredients are used in our cosmetic formulations. No ingredients derived from dead animals, or sourced while causing harm to animals, are used. Only animal by-products such as milk, honey, lanolin and beeswax, which are sourced without causing suffering or harm to animals, are used.
Furthermore, accessory products do not contain animal materials sourced while causing harm to the animal, such as skin, fur or feathers of animals bred primarily for that purpose (e.g mink, rabbit, snake). In addition, animal hair used is sourced from a live animal without causing injury.
Oriflame finished products have never been tested on animals, and we have never tested, nor commissioned the testing of, cosmetic ingredients on animals. We have consistently demonstrated our support of the resolution of the ban on animal testing for cosmetic products and ingredients. We have welcomed the provisions in the EU Cosmetic Directive 7th amendment which regulate animal testing, while providing a balance between animal welfare and consumer safety.
This has resulted in the current ban on animal testing of finished products, and the phased in ban on testing of ingredients, starting in March 2009.
Oriflame has fully endorsed research programmes developing alternative non–animal safety tests, and we are glad to see a resolution of this important social issue. All of our suppliers agree to comply with our ethical and environmental policies, and abide by animal protection laws.'
