PRAISE CRITICISM INFORMATION
Total Beauty Network Pty Ltd
Animals Accredited cruelty-free vegan brands
This company's own brands (Designer Brands and Inika) comply with Choose Cruelty Free's non-animal testing criteria and are listed on CCF preferred products list. However the company as a whole is not accredited. TBN is the Australian distributor for brands owned by companies who may test on animals.

Social Fined for unsafe workplace
In 2015 this company was convicted and fined $75,000 at the Magistrates Court in Moorabbin following an incident in which a worker inside a cage was dropped by a forklift and sustained serious injuries.

Social Mica mining
This company uses mica in its mineral cosmetics, and has no information on its website on its mica sourcing policy. Much of the world's mica comes from Jharkhand and Bihar in India, where child labour has been found in the supply chain.
