ASK UNILEVER

Panel 1

Simple products are not subject to animal testing, even in China because they’re sold directly to consumers from outside the country, but we don't make any claims of no animal testing. Simple is aligned with Unilever’s corporate position on animal testing: we do not test our products on animals and are committed to ending animal testing. Our leading-edge research has one clear purpose: to continue to develop new non-animal approaches that can guarantee that our products are safe, without any need for animal testing. Occasionally, when there are no suitable non-animal approaches available, some of the ingredients we use have to be tested; and some governments test our products on animals as part of their regulatory requirements. We are actively working with these governments, other scientists and NGOs, to put in place alternative methods.

Panel 9

No parabens are used in Simple skincare products.
Panel 10

Simple products are particularly recommended during pregnancy. When pregnant your skin becomes more sensitive and your sense of smell more developed, so look for products with no artificial perfumes or harsh chemicals
Panel 11

No alcohol is used in Simple skincare products.
Simple Kind To Skin Soothing Anti-perspirant contains alcohol as without this ingredient, it would not dry.
The term 'alcohol' means only that the ingredient has been distilled during its manufacture. Ingredients like 'Cetyl Alcohol' are not connected with the drinking beverage alcohol. However, this alcohol is used in cosmetic products but will be specifically listed as 'Alcohol', 'Alcohol Denat' or 'Ethyl Alcohol' on the product label.
Panel 12

Our products are examined at an independent testing house and the results are validated by an independent dermatologist to verify that they are safe to use.
Panel 13

Simple products are hypoallergenic because they have been tested via HRIPT (Human Repeat Insult Patch Test) by an independent testing house. That means Simple products are found to be non-sensitizing and non irritating.
Panel 14

Just like your skin, our planet has a delicate ecosystem that needs looking after, and we’re committed to being kinder to both. You’ll notice that we’ve done away with unnecessary leaflets, made many of our packs recyclable, and have started using recycled and biodegradable materials in our products and packaging. We’re not stopping there, though. There’s still a lot more to be done, and we’re determined to be as green as possible, so watch this space for more eco-friendly updates!
Panel 15

All of our skincare products are soap free.
