Earthly Delight

I noticed their products contain almost exclusively plant-derived substances, so I decided to email to see if they did animal testing, as it wasnt explicitly said they don't. Here's my reply:
Good day,
Thank you for contacting Fruits & Passion!
It is true that we do not use animal extract: marine collagen or animal, chitin, carmine, lanolin, but we use actually beeswax, in lip balms, which is a sub product synthesis, issued by a bee. We can understand that this particular product is not well suited to Vegans.
As for the tests, they are not carried out on animals.

I emailed back for clarification on "we do not use animal extract: marine collagen or animal,..." as to me it seems like it must be a typo, but I'd rather be sure than find out it might be animal collagen.
Apart from that, so long as you look out for products with beeswax--I'd say this is one more option to add to the list. I post this because fruits and passion wasnt listed by peta as cruelty free, or by themselves on the site.
