SKINN ?

Mishell5 — Fri, 17 Jan 2014 19:16:06 GMT

Hi... Does anyone know if Dimitri is scheduled to make any appearances on Shop HQ soon? I am running out of the Hydro Surge and oil combo with the Vit C. There are some configurations with these products now and I am wondering if the prices or kits will change based on Dimitri's shows? My skin is drinking this combo up this winter. I'm hesitant to buy now since he always brings great deals when he is on.
TIA

Michelle

He's due back on ShopHQ Jan. 24th....the 24th to the 26th if I'm not mistaken. I'm looking forward to see what his latest Top Value is going to be.

Michelle - I just wanted to make sure that you are aware that Skinn imports most of their color cosmetics from China. Their skin care is made in the USA, however their "brand" is tested on animals, because many of their color products are manufactured in China and others in Taiwan.

I bought a bottle of a calming cleanser in that line from HauteLook in December. Wow, great cleanser. I like it way more than his am/pm cleansers.

Thanks for the info, lyn. I had heard that and stopped buying his cosmetics. When I did buy them I thought they were made here. I was very surprised to hear the opposite. Are their skincare items tested on animals? I'm confused about that. I don't want to purchase the skincare if it is made in the USA but tested on animals.

Michelle - I must have misunderstood your post on the Isomers thread. I have no idea all of the counties Skinn is sold in, nor do I know if the parent company, Cosmetic Development Labs makes private label products for Chinese companies, or companies who sell to China. All I know is that the majority of Skinn makeup is made in China and Taiwan. Since Skinn imports makeup from China, imho their company is not cruelty free.

No Isomers is not cruelty free. They sell in China and the Chinese require all imported cosmetics be tested on animals. What bothered me most about Isomers is how in my email correspondence with them, they were very adamant that they absolutely do not test on animals and are totally against it but then casually say that a China shopping channel is a distributor of their products. I am sure Isomers does not test themselves. It is probably done in China. Either way they know their products,are being tested on animals. I hate it because I love their vitamin c stem serum and retiniacin. There is,a lot more information on my thread titled "Does Isomers do animal testing" if you are interested. Hope you are having a wonderful evening from one Michelle to another

Wow...Seriously?! I really did assume that they are cruelty free. Nothing like giving you double messages and false info. That is just so wrong. I am addicted to the Vitamin C serum, so now I guess I will be looking elsewhere.

I am going to check out your thread. I give you a lot of credit for contacting the company. Unfortunately, they were not forthcoming with their info. That is unacceptable.

Thanks for letting me know about this....

Hope you are having a wonderful evening too!!

Check out the Isomers thread further down the page. Apparently, China stopped mandating animal testing in 2012. They exempt companies who somehow prove their own safety and integrity (I'm not sure what that means). Anyway, according to the Isomers rep, you can no longer assume a company's products are tested on animals just because they are sold in China. That would also be the case for Skinn. If you are really concerned about it, I would say that you need to do more research than getting info on this board. China is in the process of reviewing their laws about animal testing and may, in fact, stop it, especially as the global awareness of the issue grows.
