Lorealova kozmetika (testiranje na živalih)

zdaj pa sem ogorčena in žalostna, da sem si kupila puder L`Oreala!
pa gremo spet v boj za iskanjem pravega pudra...ampak raje to, kot pa da živalice trpijo!!!!

Ja.

A L'Oreal je lastnik TBS? Hm... Vem, da so uradno zelo proti testiranju, ampak ko sem malo poguglala, sem našla tole (vir):

The Body Shop faced other problems in the first half of the 1990s, as its reputation as a socially responsible company was repeatedly challenged. The first attack came from a British television program entitled "Body Search," which accused The Body Shop of misleading customers with its "Against Animal Testing" product label. The Body Shop's policy, designed as an incentive for companies to eliminate their animal testing, rejected ingredients that had been tested on animals in the previous five years. The television program, however, charged the company with using ingredients that had been tested on animals. The Body Shop brought suit in the summer of 1993 and won £276,000 in damages.

Although the company won their suit, the battle had focused attention on The Body Shop's ethical record and inspired additional criticism. Cosmetics competitor Goodebodies tried to distinguish themselves by pointing out that, unlike The Body Shop, they did not use any animal by-products, such as tallow from pigs to make soap. The Body Shop responded, however, that it only used by-products from the meat industry and that it provided customers with information in the store if they wished to choose products with no animal ingredients.

Pa še iz nekega drugega vira:

Helping animals? - Although the Body Shop maintain that they are against animal testing, they do not always make clear that many of the ingredients in their products have been tested on animals by other companies, causing much pain and suffering to those animals. They accept ingredients tested on animals before 1991, or those tested since then (if they were animal-tested for some purpose other than for cosmetics). There continue to be concerns about the enforcement of their policy. Also, some Body Shop items contain animal products such as gelatine (crushed bone).

In fact, Body Shop is receiving a barrage of criticism from consumers and companies alike. Ethical Consumer magazine, which ranks companies according to their ethical credentials, has insisted on boycotting the Body Shop. “It’s ironic that a company well known for its anti-animal-testing stance should sell out to one that tests on animals and has yet to show its commitment to any ethical issues at all,” says Ethical Consumer writer Ruth Rosselson.

However, Anita Roddick, co-founder of Body Shop, remains loyal to her principles. Roddick says the takeover will only strengthen Body Shop’s ethical reputation. Even though L’Oreal has failed to drop its animal-testing policies, it appears that Body Shop is concerned with wider values – not just animal testing. Instead of viewing the takeover as “sleeping with enemy”, Roddick sees the deal as an opportunity to help the world’s poor by influencing the much larger new parent firm.

Roddick told the UK’s Daily Telegraph: “The most exciting thing about this is that L’Oreal is asking us to teach it about community trade, which is the best poverty-eradicator in the world.”

It is possible that the principles of the Body Shop will remain largely unchanged, or even improved, despite L’Oreal’s newly acquired control. For this to happen, Chandiramani says, “L’Oreal needs to learn from Unilever”.

Pa še en članek, če se komu da brat.
______________

Verjetno lahko samo ugibamo, kaj je res, ampak mene osebno je kar minila želja po njihovih izdelkih (kolikor sem je sploh kdaj imela).

Mimika - če se prav spomnim je bila odločitev za prodajo čisto ekonomske narave in je bivša lastnica samo mirila kupce (svojo vest?) z izjavami v stilu - saj se Loreal trudi, da bi zmanjšal testiranje. Ampak to niti ni pomembno - dejstvo je, da je lastnik TBS Loreal, ki uporablja sestavine testirane na živalih.

Vprašanje pa je tudi, če kozmetična podjetja res vedo kaj kupujejo - nekje stestirajo sestavine na živalih - jih prodajo drugem podjetju, ki pravi, da ne testira - ta jih proda naprej drugemu ...
Če še pri hrani nimajo ustreznega nadzora, dvomim, da je pri kozmetiki ta 100% zagotovljen.

Pa še čisto za info - seznam podjetij v lasti Loreala (bolj znanih):
Biotherm, Diesel, Garnier, Giorgio Armani, Helena Rubinstein,  Kerastase,  Lancome, La Roche-Posay, Maybelline,  Ralph Lauren,  Redken, Shu Uemura, TBS, Vichy.

Točno to! Ad acta!

Res bedno, da se ne moremo zanesti na organizacijo, kot je PETA oz. na njen "don't test" seznam, ki ga je očitno treba jemati malo z rezervo. Kljub temu pa jaz ne nameravam več kupovati izdelkov proizvajalcev z "do test" seznama. Raje kupim od podjetja, ki naj ne bi testiralo na živalih, kot pa od tistega, ki zagotovo testira.

Pa še enkrat poudarjam, ne gre samo za nabavo sestavin, ampak tudi za testiranje končnih izdelkov.

EDIT: bolj zanesljive (strožji kriteriji) sezname podjetij, ki testirajo/ne testirajo na živalih, najdete tukaj.

Mimika, so seznami na povezavi, ki si jo prilepila, še vedno zanesljivi?

Torej znamke, kot so Max Factor, Loreal,... še vedno tesirajo na živalih? Shiseido je tudi zraven. 

Kaj pa je s tem, da bi naj bilo testiranje na živalih v kozmetične namene z letom 2009 prepovedano v 25 državah EU?
