Glossary entry

Cruelty-Free.

Definition

What it means.

Products that have not been tested on animals at any stage of development. Numbrrrz is cruelty-free — we never test on animals and never will. While our products contain Organic Beeswax (which means they are not vegan), our Organic Beeswax is ethically sourced from sustainable apiaries that prioritize bee welfare.

Vegan

Products that contain no animal-derived ingredients and are not tested on animals. Common animal-derived lip balm ingredients include beeswax, lanolin, carmine (a red dye from insects), and squalane (sometimes from shark liver). Numbrrrz is not vegan because it contains ethically sourced Organic Beeswax, which we chose for its superior breathable barrier properties over plant-based wax alternatives.

Ethical Sourcing

The practice of ensuring that products and ingredients are obtained in a responsible and sustainable manner that respects workers, communities, and the environment. For lip care ingredients, ethical sourcing addresses fair labor practices in coconut oil production, sustainable harvesting of jojoba seeds, and humane treatment of bees in beeswax collection. Numbrrrz prioritizes ethical sourcing across all ingredients in our supply chain.
