So I asked Pixi if their mica is ethically sourced without the use of child labor and they responded by stating, Unless the company discloses its mica mining policy, we have no way of knowing whether its mica is ethically sourced without child or forced labor. But the mining of natural mica has been linked to child labor and human rights violations. Mica is a mineral that’s used in cosmetics to add a shimmery effect. Only cosmetics that are imported and sold in physical stores in mainland China are required to be tested on animals according to China’s animal testing laws.
*Note: Cosmetics made in China are not required to be tested on animals. But not all products state where they’re made. *I checked a few of the product descriptions on their website and saw some items say, Made in Korea, USA, or China. You can locate where a product is made on the label below the ingredient listing.” “Pixi products are made all over the world. I asked Pixi where their products are manufactured and they told me: So it’s best to ask the company and manufacturers to ensure the ingredients they’ve chosen to use were from non-animal sources. But it’s sometimes difficult to know with certainty whether a product is vegan just by reading the ingredient list. There are plant-based and synthetic alternatives to animal-derived ingredients. Some common animal products used in cosmetics include carmine, lanolin, snail mucus, beeswax, honey, pearl or silk-derived ingredients, animal-based glycerin, keratin, and squalene. Similar to ‘Cruelty-Free,’ there is no standard or legal definition for the label ‘Vegan.’ But it’s usually used in the context to describe something that doesn’t contain any animal-derived ingredients or animal by-products. So, it’s best to contact Pixi directly for the most up-to-date and accurate information on which items are vegan-friendly. Since they have so many products, I’m unfortunately unable to ask them about each one individually. But they will tell you if a product is vegan or not if you ask them. *Note: Unfortunately Pixi will no longer provide me with an updated list of their vegan products. This vegan product list was provided by Pixi. “Many of our products are vegan, and we are working to become 100% vegan.” Pixi Vegan Product Listīelow is a list of Pixi Beauty products that are suitable for vegans and do not contain any animal-derived ingredients or by-products. When I emailed Pixi to ask if they had any vegan options, they responded saying, But they have some products that are suitable for vegans.
In the case of Pixi Beauty, not all of their products are vegan. ‘Vegan’ in cosmetics can refer to an entire brand that is 100% Vegan or a specific product is vegan. This ensures no animal testing was performed by the brand itself, its suppliers, or any third parties.Īlso, note that Cruelty-Free and Vegan don’t always mean the same thing. More specifically, the ingredients, formulation, or finished product are not tested on animals at any stage of product development.Īt ethical elephant, we always assess a company’s cruelty-free policy using our Cruelty-Free Checklist. But Cruelty-Free is generally used to imply no animal testing. Note that there is no legal definition for the label ‘Cruelty-Free.’ It can mean different things to different people. However, for the most part, animal testing is still legally required for most imported cosmetics in 2022. Customers in China are available to purchase Pixi through cross-border e-commerce, which allows us to remain cruelty-free by avoiding the need to undergo animal testing.”Īs of May 1, 2021, some imported ordinary cosmetics can be exempt from animal testing under certain conditions. “Pixi is proud to be a cruelty-free brand. Pixi does not sell in retail stores in China, therefore, they are not required to test on animals. Pixi Beauty has confirmed they only sell their products online to customers in China.
