DOES YOUR COMPANY TEST ON ANIMALS?
We have never tested our ingredients or final formulations on animals and we have no intention of doing so in future. That said to ensure the efficacy of our products every ingredient is carefully considered to ensure that it meets our high standards of quality, safety and effectiveness. While we are committed to avoiding testing on animals we acknowledge that in some jurisdictions both the formulations and ingredients may have been tested by government affiliates. We continue to lobby for change in these practices as we believe cosmetic industry has a responsibility to protect the well-being of animals.
HOW DOES ERNO LASZLO CONDUCT PRODUCT SAFETY TESTING?
Erno Laszlo conducts our own state-of-the-art, independent tests on human volunteers to ensure that our products and ingredients are safe and worthy of your trust. You have our assurance that all Erno Laszlo products are thoroughly tested for safety and have passed very stringent requirements.
WHY HAS MY FAVORITE PRODUCT BEEN DISCONTINUED?
Decisions to discontinue or introduce a product or size are made in response to consumer preferences and purchasing patterns worldwide. Please email our Erno Laszlo Online Consultants at advisor@ernolaszlo.com with the name/shade of your favorite product that has been discontinued and they will be happy to provide alternative recommendations.
I’VE READ THAT PARABENS ARE BAD FOR YOU. WHY DO YOU USE THEM IN YOUR FORMULATIONS?
Parabens are a class of chemicals widely used as preservatives in the cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries. These compounds, and their salts, are used primarily for their bactericidal and fungicidal properties. Parabens can be found in cosmetics, shampoos, toothpaste, and are even used as food additives. Parabens are becoming increasingly controversial because they have been found in extremely low concentrations to slightly mimic estrogen (a hormone known to play a role in the development of breast cancer). No effective direct links between parabens and cancer have been established. As skincare formulations have evolved over the years certain parabens have been banned in the European Union. Erno Laszlo is compliant with all local and international regulations and has removed controversial parabens from our formulas.
WHY DO YOU FOMULATE PRODUCTS WITH DIMETHICONE AND CYCLOMETHICONE?
Dimethicone and Cyclomethicone are commonly used ingredients in cosmetic formulations that give a product a silky, smooth feel or “slip”. These are considered non-comedogenic emollients that protect skin from water loss.You have our assurance that all Erno Laszlo products are thoroughly tested for safety and have passed very stringent requirements.
WHAT DOES PHELITYL MEAN?
Phelityl indicates Dr. Laszlo’s unique moisturizing complex with a pH nearly identical to that of our skin. This complex is rich with Essential Fatty Acids, essential for optimal skin function.
WHY DO YOU USE ALCOHOL DENAT AND ISOPROPYL ALCOHOL IN YOUR PRODUCTS?
Some of Erno Laszlo products are formulated with the most refined cosmetic alcohols available. While cosmetic alcohols may be drying to some skin types, work with your Erno Laszlo Skincare Consultant to determine the best products for your skin.
COVID-19 – RESPONSE
Erno Laszlo’s response to COVID-19 in our community and to our customers:
Our office employees have been working from home since March 2nd. We will continue with this change for as long as deemed necessary. We are following the guidance from the CDC and government officials. Our fulfilment partner has put processes in place to ensure their employees are all wearing gloves and wash their hands every 30 minutes while packing out .com order(s). We pulled together a short video to demonstrate what our operation currently looks like for each order we process. In addition, our fulfillment partner has hired a maintenance team that will be focused solely on the cleanliness of all high traffic areas, machines and workstations. All warehouse employees are splitting shifts to decrease the amount of people in the facility at one time.
Celebrating the Bold and the Brave
We believe in the power of community and want to show a small token of gratitude to the service providers working day and night to combat this pandemic. Doctors, nurses, grocery stores, pharmacy workers, police, the fire department, teachers, government and military professionals and so many more are on the front lines and working to keep us safe and healthy. Please join us in a token of gratitude by visiting www.ernolaszlo.com/product-request to suggest or nominate an individual on the front lines who could use a (skin)care package to brighten their day. We will be sending to as many heroes as we can in the US.
