As far as the parabens, there are 5 parabens that are banned in Europe which Mary Kay complies with, the other parabens have been deemed safe for use... Read attached article http://europa.eu/rapid/press-release_IP-14-1051_en.htm<br /><br />In addition, as far as the animal cruelity... Mary Kay does not test on animals unless required by law, which is only required in China, and yes this is something they are heavily working on with China for alternative testing methods. This is why they were removed from the cruelty-free list, but they are making every effort with China to change that. Everywhere else (all 35+ countries) they are cruelty-free. Read this article... https://newsroom.marykay.com/en/releases/mary-kay-leads-efforts-to-pursue-alternative-safety-testing-in-china<br /><br />It is OK to have an opinion of which companies/products to use & support, research should be done if people are going to make claims to be sure to not provide inaccurate and uneducated information to the public. That being said, everyone should take the time to do their own personal research and find what works best with their body and beliefs.Monicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08546304685375266801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3721670817787627169.post-29223346837520894422017-08-25T13:34:10.640-07:002017-08-25T13:34:10.640-07:00FYI: Mary Kay is not completely cruelty free.

You can't claim cruelty free if you really don't know.<br /><br />http://ethicalelephant.com/younique-animal-testing-not-cruelty-free/Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00203270831002954197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3721670817787627169.post-2011979677677879992017-08-15T02:52:04.521-07:002017-08-15T02:52:04.521-07:002014 SELDIA report (European direct selling organi...2014 SELDIA report (European direct selling organization) references MK multiple times.

All of you please look at the environmental working group or the app called "healthy Living". Beautycounter products are the only ones that uphold the European union standards, that include 1500 band ingredients that are in our cosmetics and skin care lines because they are dangerous for our skin and body. Did any of you know that those products going to her bloodstream and 26 seconds so are you even looking at the ingredients? ?? Do your research please for the sake of your health. I joined beauty counter because the whole mission is to get safer products in the hands of women.
