Yes, Oxygenetix is cruelty free.
Oxygenetix was created by Barry Knapp and Kort Pearson in 2008. The skin care and cosmetic brand was inspired by Knapp’s experience after he saw the effects of a chemical peel procedure on his mother’s face. He became interested in developing a product that had the ability to “minimize post-procedure downtime while healing the compromised skin.”
Offering foundations that could conceal and heal treated skin as well as oxygenating moisturisers, Oxygenetix’s formulations come from clean, nature-based sources with their main ingredient being the patented Ceravitae. The brand is committed to only using animal-friendly raw materials, and has been certified by People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) under their global Beauty Without Bunnies program. On the brand’s FAQs page, they answer the question:
“Q: Does Oxygenetix test on animals?
A: Never. We are a cruelty free company. Our products are certified Cruelty-Free and Vegan by the PETA organization.”
Oxygenetix has met the two conditions set by the third party organisation to be called cruelty free and vegan. These are as follows:
“Global animal test-free recognizes companies and brands that have verified that they and their suppliers do not conduct, commission, pay for, or allow any tests on animals for their ingredients, formulations, or finished products anywhere in the world and that they will never do so in the future.
Global animal test-free and vegan recognizes companies and brands that meet the same requirements and whose entire product line is free of animal-derived ingredients. These companies are truly cruelty-free…
To be considered ‘cruelty-free’ under PETA’s Global Beauty Without Bunnies program, a company must not only ban animal tests but also refuse to use any animal-derived ingredients, such as honey, beeswax, or carmine, in its products.”
