Animal Testing Policy
Halo is the New Black is a cruelty free company. We do not conduct animal testing on any of our products or any of the ingredients that we make them with. We also do not provide any products to companies who do animal testing.
+ Are any of your products or ingredients tested on animals?
We never test our products or ingredients on animals. We test them on our selves first, then when we are sufficiently satisfied do our products leave through the front door to our friends, Instagram buddies and Product Testers (please visit our product testers page for more information). We do brush our Labradors teeth with Coconut oil… and I’m pretty sure he’d be happy to eat most of the ingredients if he could.
We only source raw ingredients from Australian Suppliers and we carefully vet these suppliers to ensure that these ingredients are cruelty free too.
+ Are your products vegan?
We use sustainably sourced beeswax in our lip gloss products. This is purchased from small local beekeepers that work to rebuild the bee populations to ensure the survival of our amazimng pollinators. Other than beeswax, which is in our lip gloss products, all of our ingredients are 100% vegan.
+ Where are your products made?
All of our skincare and cosmetic products are hand made in Melbourne, Australia in our studio, by us.
+ Do you perform microbial testing on your products?
MICROBIOLOGY There’s quite a broad range of microorganisms in cosmetics, especially fresh cosmetics.
During the development of a new product and during the regular production cycles, we collect samples and analyse them to make sure that the level and nature of the microorganism won’t interfere with the safety or the effectiveness of the product.
We perform a general "aerobic plate count" on nonselective agar medium. This is a little dish with a thin layer of agar (a clear jelly extracted from seaweed), sometimes mixed with PH indicators or other vegetarian nutrients such as sugar. The microbiologist puts a drop of product on top, incubates the dish and sees what grows.
We accept that there may be some organisms present, but nothing potentially pathogenic or harmful. We also look at yeast and moulds to see how the product will last.
We're proud to say that our products are proven to be safe and effective, all without the use of animal tests. We hope that by setting this example, other cosmetics companies will the the pledge to use only cruelty-free methods to test for safety.
