Are your products tested on animals? Also, do you allow animal testing when required by law?

All of Dear Dahlia's products are 100% vegan and cruelty-free. We do not perform any type or form of pre or post animal testing or use any form of animal ingredients. We are not required by law to conduct any type of animal testing as we do not export to China.

Why vegan & cruelty-free?

Every year, 500,000 animals suffer from animal testing. 1,400 animals are sacrificed for just one ingredient and 622 cochineal insects are used for 1 lipstick. Therefore, numerous animals suffer from the widespread use of animal ingredients. Dear Dahlia is a vegan beauty brand which advocates spending for a good cause without the use of animal ingredients.

Dear Dahlia believes in timeless beauty — the mindful and sustainable kind that does not take away from our own planet. We stay true to our cause by creating 100% vegan and cruelty-free products without any animal ingredients or animal testing, while taking steps to reduce our carbon footprint. We will continue offering high-performance cosmetics that are as effective as they are environmentally responsible.

Is Dear Dahlia certified for its vegan formula or non-animal testing?

Dear Dahlia is certified as cruelty-free and vegan by PETA. Existing Dear Dahlia products have been certified vegan by the Vegan Society; a globally renowned organization.

Every time there is a new line of products, we are adding them to be certified vegan.

Do all products contain natural, organic ingredients?

Dear Dahlia is a vegan cosmetic brand that creates safe cosmetic products that contain natural, plant-derived ingredients. Our products are formulated with Ecocert, COSMOS, and USDA-certified organic, plant-based ingredients and do not contain any type of animal-derived ingredients.

Which ingredients are certified by USDA, Ecocert, and COSMOS? Which products contain the certified ingredients?

Please refer to the Ingredients section on each of the product pages for a detailed ingredient list.

Are your products gluten-free?

Dear Dahlia products are gluten-free.

However, for extremely sensitive skin, we always advise to spot test under the ear or on the underside of the arm before regular use or to consult with your physician before use.

What kind of pigment do you use instead of animal ingredients in lipsticks? 

Carmine (extracted from cochineal insects) is a pink/red pigment most frequently used not only in cosmetics but also in food and beverage. It is not a component that can be easily replaced as it provides the red shade that is frequently used in makeup products. However, following our philosophy and core belief of creating cruelty-free makeup products, we have dedicated many years of research to finding plant-derived ingredients and non-toxic, food-grade artificial colorants that are harmless to the human body.

What kind of glitter do you use instead of animal ingredients?

Glitter: Makeup companies in general use heavy metals and animal-derived ingredients (e.g. fish scale and shell pearls) to give the powerful shimmery finish. However, following our philosophy and core belief of creating cruelty-free makeup products, Dear Dahlia uses ingredients, such as a natural mineral complex and eco-friendly, biodegradable glitter particles to create Dear Dahlia's unique shine and shimmer.

What kind of preservatives are used instead of parabens?

Dear Dahlia products use safe preservatives, such as 1,2-hexanediol. Our products are made with an 8-FREE FORMULA (Parabens, Sodium Lauryl Sulfate, Phthalates, Metalloestrogens, Oxybenzone, Synthetic Fragrance, Animal-Derived Ingredients), combined with EWG Green-Grade, ECOCERT, USDA, and COSMOS certified organic ingredients.

Do Dear Dahlia products contain talc?

Dear Dahlia uses only safe talc that is certified by the FDA.

Is your palm oil and mica ethically sourced?

We only use ingredients that are ethically sourced without the use of child/animal labor.

Ingredients derived from palm oils and mica that are used in our formulations are RSPO-certified.

Do you use synthetic fragrances?

We do not use synthetic/artificial fragrances. Dear Dahlia’s signature scent is safely formulated with natural essential oils. Our products are made with an 8-FREE FORMULA (Parabens, Sodium Lauryl Sulfate, Phthalates, Metalloestrogens, Oxybenzone, Synthetic Fragrance, Animal-Derived Ingredients), combined with EWG Green-Grade, ECOCERT, USDA, and COSMOS certified organic ingredients.

Are Dear Dahlia’s patented signature ingredients exclusively used by Dear Dahlia?

Yes, Dear Dahlia’s patented signature ingredients, such as Dahlia Flower Extract, are exclusively used by us. Dear Dahlia’s Dahlia Flower Extract is patented for its unique extraction method which provides antioxidant benefits.

Why does my makeup brush have a subtle smell?

Dear Dahlia's Blooming Brush is made of vegan materials. The handle may have a subtle smell caused by the wood coloring process, but no need to worry since its usability and reliability have been tested for over 6 months. If you feel uncomfortable with the smell, we advise you to place the brush in a well-ventilated area for a few days before use.

Is Dear Dahlia packaging eco-friendly?
