HOURGLASS COSMETICS AIMS TO BECOME FULL VEGAN BY 2020
Hourglass Cosmetics announced its goal to become fully vegan by the year 2020. Hourglass currently has a predominantly vegan beauty offering and plans to source alternative ingredients – free of animal by-products – to replace frequently used animal- derived cosmetic ingredients such as beeswax and carmine. This commitment aligns with its existing 100% cruelty-free platform and dedication to the protection of animal rights.
Founded with a commitment to reinvent luxury cosmetics, Hourglass has carved a niche for itself as an innovative beauty brand. Carisa Janes, founder and CEO of Hourglass, has been instrumental in creating trends through ongoing innovation and scientific discovery. From creating the lighting powder category by transforming photographic lighting into the cult favorite Ambient Lighting Powder, to completely revolutionising complexion products with Veil Mineral Primer, Hourglass has quietly become a staple of both professional makeup artists and women around the world.
“At Hourglass, we believe that luxury is a combination of innovation and integrity,” says Carisa Janes, founder and CEO of Hourglass Cosmetics. “This begins with our commitment to creating cruelty-free products and ultimately being the first completely vegan luxury cosmetics brand in the world. It is not a simple solution, but we are dedicated to putting in the time and effort it will take to find vegan alternatives for our product formulas.”
Hourglass is calling upon other beauty brands to join in their commitment to finding vegan- alternative cosmetic ingredients and cruelty-free testing methods. Inspired by emerging technologies and a growing demand for vegan products, Hourglass hopes to spark a movement of beauty professionals that support replacing animal-derived ingredients as a new, industry- wide standard.
