Not only do we take care of the most sensitive and damaged skins, but we also respect and assume the commitment to the survival of other living beings. Only in this way can we comply with Directive 2003/15/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council.
The first phase of implementation of this regulation, which began in 2004, prohibited the marketing of cosmetics tested on animals within the Community borders. Since 2013, the veto also covers toxicity tests. Now, no beauty products sold within European countries are previously tested on living beings. Some brands are still in the process of adapting to the directive, but Barros de Ibiza is 100% compliant and excludes animal tests from product testing.
