FAQs

Pevonia Skincare products are NOT tested on animals.

As of 11th March 2013, a complete ban on animal testing for cosmetics was implemented in the EU. It is now illegal to test ingredients and finished products on animals for cosmetic reasons and is also illegal to import ingredients and finished products that are currently being tested on animals for cosmetic reasons. Therefore, you can be certain that none of our product ingredients or finished products are tested on animals.

Protecting the earth and maintaining an affinity with nature and its precious resources are an integral part of Pevonia’s brand promise. Cruelty-free and post-consumer recycled and recyclable air-express containers ensure an earth-friendly, naturally preserved product. The use of biodegradable formulas and recyclable packaging reduces environmental pollution and waste to further confirm our brand promise. Pevonia is committed to implementing green practices and creating awareness to make the world a better place for a greener earth.

With nut allergies there is much less risk from topically applied cosmetic ingredients than from food ingredients. The nut extracts used in cosmetic products are highly refined, containing little or no protein. It is the proteins in nuts that cause allergic reactions.

However, those who suffer with severe nut allergies must use caution with products containing the following:

• Almond Oil
• Almond Seed Extract
• Shea Butter
• Macadamia Nut Oil
• Coconut Fruit Extract
• Niacinamide

Pevonia’s Propolis comes from the Jura Mountains in France. Rich in flavonoids, minerals, and vitamins it lavishes skin with the best healing, preserving, and decongesting ingredients. In the ecosystem, Propolis is naturally collected by worker bees from Poplar trees that produce it continually. This is a never-ending cycle. Then the Propolis is extracted from the beehives at the same time along with honey, wax, and royal jelly. Then it is separated from the pollen and purified for its use.

Bees are never hurt in the process, nor is the queen bee. One of the purposes of bees in nature is to create all these wonderful substances for the survival of other species.

Pevonia does not formulate products with SLS but instead uses Saponaria (Soapwort) and Sodium Olefin Sulphate (derived from Oat).

Pevonia uses green biotechnology in our formulations (extracting a minimal amount of renewable plant tissue). This aligns with our stance on environmental conservation without damaging or endangering botanical species.

In fact, by 2030, the World Wildlife Fund estimates that Biotechnology “has the potential to save the planet up to 2.5 billion tons of CO2 emissions per year.”
