Frequently Asked Questions

Do you test on animals?
We never test our products on animals or ask others to do it on our behalf. We don’t even use animal based ingredients that require pain or slaughter of animals. We’re proud to be a founding member of the U.S. Humane Society Beauty without Cruelty program. We only purchase ingredients from suppliers who share our no animal testing policies.

If you don’t test on animals, how do you know your products are safe?
First, we use only ingredients that have been demonstrated as safe through years of use or other kinds of non-animal safety checks such as in-vitro and stability tests. Each incoming raw material and every compounded batch of product is tested for consistency, anti-microbial, yeast, mold, pH and viscosity to insure quality and safety. During product development, new formulations are tried and tested by real people in addition to the traditional stability and lab tests above.

What does Aromatherapy means and is any product among Sinclair & Valentine’s line using aromatherapy principles?
The Wikipedia free online encyclopedia defines aromatherapy as follow: commonly associated with complementary and alternative medicine (CAM), aromatherapy is the use of volatile liquid plant materials, known as essential oils (EOs), and other aromatic compounds from plants to affect someone's mood or health. The word was coined in the 1920s by French chemist René Maurice Gattefossé, who devoted his life to researching the healing properties of essential oils after a lucky accident in his perfume laboratory. (In the accident, he lit his arm on fire and thrust it into the nearest cold liquid, which happened to be a vat of lavender oil. Much to his amazement, the burn quickly healed without a scar.)

Sinclair & Valentine pays special attention to the synergy of ingredients and essential oils in creating its Aromatherapaes line to offer powerful and beneficial products. If you wish to learn more about each essential oil and its many benefits, click here.

Can I use Footsie Fixers on my body instead of my feet?
Footsie Fixers is a line that has been specifically developed to sooth, provide relief and moisturize the thicker skin found on your skin. However, Footsie Fixers uses Peppermint Essential Oil to refresh and stimulate circulation of fatigued feet, which in turn can be harmful when left a prolonged period of time on sensitive areas of the body.
