Clinique

Clinique uses the slogan, "Allergy Tested. 100% Fragrance Free" and seems to be one of the most popular brands of make up that has been around for a long time.

Researchers say that Clinique is referred to as an "open formula" company, which means they are open to constantly changing their ingredients in their products and improving it. Clinique does not use animal testing for their products, but U.S animal food industry by-products are used in the event that there are no other products that can produce the same affect that Clinique is looking for in their make up. Clinique has a very popular product, moisturizing lotion. Some of the ingredients in this lotion are purified water, mineral oil, sesame oil, propylene glycol, tea stearate, glyceryl stearate, lanolin alcohol, petrolatum, methylparaben and propylparaben. The last two ingredients are only added to give the lotion a longer shelf life.

After looking through many websites and environmentally friendly sites nothing stated that Clinique over used environment resources more than any other make up brand.

  1. I think it's really interesting that certain ingredients make the lotion last longer and it must be hard for them to test that sort of thing without wasting too much of their product in the process.
