About Skyn ICELAND
Skyn ICELAND was created by Sarah Kugelman who traveled to Iceland as a way to treat her chronic stress. Skyn ICELAND draws on the natural resources of Iceland- from its mineral-rich glacial water to its nourishing botanicals- plus the latest scientific advances to create nature-based skincare with utterly modern results. All products are made without parabens, petroleum, sulfates, or mineral oil.
Email to the Company
Before classifying any brand as cruelty-free and vegan, I send them an email with the following questions:
- Are your products vegan? If only some are vegan, which ones?
- Are any of your products or ingredients tested on animals?
- Do you have a Leaping Bunny or PETA certification?
- Do your suppliers or any third parties test animals on your behalf?
- Does your company sell products in mainland China (except Hong Kong)?
- Are you owned by a parent company that tests on animals?
Here is how Skyn ICELAND responded:
- Yes, all products are vegan.
- No
- Yes, we are Leaping Bunny certified as well as vegan and cruelty-free certified by PETA.
- No
- Yes, but we sell cross-border which allows us to not test on animals yet still sell in China.
