Company Assessment

PRAISE CRITICISM INFORMATION
Innoxa Pty Ltd
Animals Cruelty-free accredited company
Company has brands which comply with Choose Cruelty Free's non-animal testing criteria and are listed on CCF preferred products list.
Source: Choose Cruelty Free (2018)
Environment Use of plastic microbeads
This company uses microbeads in some of its personal care products. These particles are not retained by wastewater treatment so end up in the ocean. While microbeads aren't thought to be a health hazard to consumers, they are a threat to the marine environment.

Heritage Brands Ltd
Environment Australian Packaging Covenant signatory
Signatory to the Australian Packaging Covenant, a voluntary agreement to encourage waste minimisation.

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. The company says it audits and insists on accreditation for all suppliers and does not source any products from India, but the company could not provide specific information regarding the source of raw materials used by all their suppliers.

Environment Organic products
This company manufactures or distributes products that are certified organic under the Australian Certified Organic label.

Animals Accredited cruelty-free brands
Three brands owned by this company (Australis, Mode and Innoxa) 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. Heritage Brands is the Australian distributor for brands owned by companies who do test on animals, such as Revlon.
