NICK & MILLY was designed to inspire, help and educate people
to find a
healthy balance between Mind, Body and Soul and to recognise the
importance
of “one” being. We believe strongly that all our actions
have direct and
indirect consequences, the earth and all its inhabitants are connected.
We encourage everyone to stop and think about the impact their decisions
have.
One main area where we believe one person can make an impact is
on what
they purchase. This is where one person can truly make a difference,
if you are
against animal cruelty don’t buy products which are tested
on animals, make
a stand, if enough people stop buying that product the company behind
it
will notice. Likewise buying only fair trade and eco friendly products
will
encourage all companies who don’t already operate with an
ethical policy to
rethink their position especially when their sales start diminishing.
NICK & MILLY London: campaigning for a cruelty free world.
CRUELTY FREE & AGAINST ANIMAL TESTING ACCREDITATION
Launch of NICK & MILLY: BUAV statement
August 2007
Commenting on the launch of the BUAV-approved cruelty-free NICK
& MILLY
luxury Bath and Body range, BUAV chief executive Michelle Thew said:
‘We are delighted that NICK AND MILLY have made sure their
new luxury range
doesn’t compromise on cruelty. Sadly, there are still many
brands on UK shelves that have animal-tested ingredients. By getting
approval under the BUAV’s internationally recognised Humane
Cosmetics Standard (HCS), NICK & MILLY are offering a gold-standard
guarantee to their customers that there is no hidden cruelty behind
their new label.’
ANIMAL TESTING
We actively campaign against animal testing. The issue of animal
testing is
complicated by the fact that virtually all substances have at some
stage been tested.
NICK & MILLY London operates a Fixed Cut-Off date policy of
1976, i.e. we use no new
innovative ingredients developed after 1976. This was the beginning
of the regulation of
cosmetics ingredients in the European Union, since when new innovative
ingredients
have been required by law to be tested. By using ingredients pre
-dating 1976,
we are being as cruelty free as possible.
