Have you tried Arouge line?
It was selected as top seller at cosme.net(one of the biggest Japanese website that provides ranking of the products by the viewers. It's a cllo site). Developed for super sensitive, dry skin. The NANO tech is introduced in the line and the price is reasonable. I used to use the skin balansing toner mist and I loved it. You can check its website atwww.zenyaku-usa.com
There are some super-natural skin care line
- Rishiri Konbu-the ingrediant is 100% essence of organic kelp (no chemical, or paraben)-so many minerals you can imagine...
- To-nyu - super fresh to-nyu(soy milk) line (no chemical, or paraben)-great for hydration.
Only you can check these products in Japanese stores in NY, NJ, CA. Tel:212-922-0139 |

Hi, annachan,
I don't think it's entirely true that all Japanese products test on animals. In fact, there are many companies are not testing on animals. You can check the site at http://www.nomoreanimaltests.com/cosme/cosme_list1.htm. It's up-dated on Dec.04, so I'm sure there are more companies in this list by now.
In Japan, it's regulated to test on animals by law if there is a brand new ingredient that yet hasn't been introduced in the market.(cosmetics, hair care products, cleaners, detergents, home care products, fabric, medicines, etc). It has to pass the sefety issue to get an approval. So I guess it's also true that some ingredients might have been tested on animals by the suppliers and the makers did not aware of it. That actually makes me wonder there are many ingredients that are imported from Japan like CoQ10, for example (sorry if I'm wrong about this..) and used in many products in the world.
Also generally, the awareness of animal rights has been pretty low in Japan and Asia, some companies are hesitant to state it as no animal testing on the label due to insecurity cause by the consumers.
However, there is a big movement re.animal rights in Japanese government, trying to enforce the concept of 3R (Refinment, Replacement, reduction).
The good news is nowadays, many consumers refuse to buy products that injure and kill animals in the laboratory. This grass-roots movement has made an impact on large cosmetics companies. For example, this year, SHISEIDO and KAO developed a test-tube method of determining allergic substances safely, instead of sacrificing animals. |
