clusive, but it may happen. Vegan cos- metics avoid animal-based ingredients which can of course be used in natural cosmetics. Vegan cosmetics, on the other hand, has no problem with the use of synthetic ingredients based on mineral oil. But obviously they can work to- gether. There are, on the market, plen- ty of products that meet the require- ments of both vegan and natural cos- metics. Guylaine Le Loarer, head of R&D, Börlind: It is be- coming increasingly im- portant for the end user that there are no animal ingredients in the products. In our ex- perience this applies less to animal products such as beeswax, and more to ingredients from dead animals such as carmine. Because, since our establishment in 1959, we have always avoided the use of ingredients from dead animals we find it no real problem to meet the above requirements. In any case we see the use of, for example beeswax, as not critical because as an ingredient in the product beeswax has very special and caring properties and to stop using it would be regretful. 75% of our prod- ucts are vegan. Dr. David Hauck, head of R&D, Primavera: Our in- gredients and products are not tested on ani- mals, they are not geneti- cally modified and meet Natrue stan- dards. More than 74% of our bio and natural cosmetics products are vegan. Unfortunately our products with untreated natural beeswax with a light lactic emulsifier produced from bio- milk are not vegan. Many consumers head for vegan cosmetics because they want to avoid any risk of an allergic re- action due to honey, beeswax, propolis or lanolin. We have nevertheless, with regard to some of our own products, knowingly used organic beeswax be- cause of its care action on the skin, for example in our Neroli Cassis lip bal- sam. In our sensitive cream Kamille Borretsch we use a particularly gentle and skin-friendly lactic emulsifier pro- duced for bio-milk. Jean-Claude Richard, head of R&D, Farfalla: Farfalla has formulated new products for 4 years now, using no animal products and no beeswax, lanolin etc. We can avoid the use of animal- based products with no problem. With regards to the ingredients we take a similar approach to the foodstuffs business and adopt a slight trend to- ward regional ingredients. Govinda Meyer, member of the company board, assitant director, Taoasis Natural Fragrances: The clear trend towards vegan cosmetics also includes vegan bio-fra- grances. Mytao sieben is the first of the three bio-perfume lines to hold the Demeter seal. A slight problem with vegan perfumes is that it is necessary to accept a lower shelf life. But they are free from, for example, fragrances that are potential triggers of allergies such as isoeugenol or cinnamal, and syn- thetic musk compounds or related substances such as cashmeran. They also contain no stabilisers such as di- ethyl phthalate as used in convention- al fragrances and which can accumu- late inside the body. Ingredients for bio-fragrances are, for us, principally fresh citrus notes with Demeter quality lemon grass oil from India. The bio- perfumes have absolutely no fixatives or substances of synthetic origin.
