Paula's Choice Australia - skin care

I have been using Paula's Choice skin care and makeup products for years now. I have used both their phone and online ordering systems and have had no problems with either. The products are good quality and reasonably priced.

Along with skin care, they have hair care products, make-up, body care and a fair few other products.

Their statement about Animal Testing: Paula's Choice has never tested our products on animals and never will. We also do not fund any independent source to conduct animal testing on our behalf. Last, but certainly not least, we support many animal-centered charities such as the Humane Society, ASPCA and NAVS.

The majority of Paula's Choice makeup products contain no animal ingredients; however, some do contain beeswax derived from beehives and glyceryl stearate from animal fat,  lanolin or lanolin derivative, tallow derivatives, and a few others listed below. Please refer to the list below for complete details.

 So, this company does sells some products that are not vegan-friendly. The good news is that they are very transparent in regards to letting their customers know what the ingredients are in their products, so with a little bit of investigation, they can pick and choose what is suitable for them and what is not. That is what I have done.
