- Q
Is this product cruelty free?
- Asked by Kayla
- Official Answer By Paul MitchellHere at Paul Mitchell, we’re passionate about beauty from the inside out. And that commitment has been at the core of all that we do since we began in 1980. That’s why we were the first professional beauty company to publicly stand up against animal testing╌and 37 years later, we’re still rockin’ that pledge to our furry friends. Testing on animals is cruel and unnecessary, yet a lot of beauty brands still engage in this ugly practice. Not us! We never have, and we never will. Testing on actual humans makes way more sense, and that’s why we’re proud to have our very own Production Innovation Center to perfect our products for you. And you know what? We didn’t stop there. Because we love our animal friends so much, we’ve committed to carrying only vegan leather shear cases and styling accessories, and all of our brushes are made with synthetic bristles rather than animal hair (Because, surprise! Those animals aren’t "donating" their hair to the beauty cause.). In addition to being cruelty-free, nylon brushes are more hygienic since they’re easier to clean and repel bacteria more effectively than animal hair. That’s a win for you and a win for the animals! We’re so passionate about this cause that going forward in 2017, we’re featuring a new "No Animal Testing" logo on all of our products to emphasize and highlight our dedication. We want you to know that when you use Paul Mitchell, you’re making the world a more beautiful place...one fabulous hairstyle╌and compassionate purchase╌at a time.Was this answer helpful to you

I would (and I do) buy this product again and again...
I use the PM skinny serum (fantastic detangler) while my hair is still wet and follow up with PM smoothing gloss drops on the ends of my hair. What I love about the gloss drops is you can apply while your hair is wet or after it has dried (which is safer for me because I have fine hair and if I use ...

Turned my hair into an oil slick
I usually really like Paul Mitchell products, but this one was a bust. Nothing ticks me off more than to spend time blowing out my hair to put something like this on it (in hopes of taming the fly-aways) and it completely ruins my style. These 'glass drops' do nothing more than add a layer of grea...

Reduced quantity but same high price
Hair Type Wavy Hair
I love this Paul Mitchell product and have been using it forever. But now I feel cheated. The quantity went from 3.4 to 2.5 for the same price! How is that a good deal especially for a long-term customer?

my hair has been crazy frizzy. Im 5 months postpartum so im not sure if that is why, but I've been using the gloss drops from Paul Mitchell and what a difference!
Used to love but where did the bad smell come from?
Hair Type Very Curly Hair
This used to be one of my favorite products to apply before blow drying and then afterwards to tame any flyaways. But over the last year there must have been a product change because the smell is sooooo bad. Please fix it!

Wet thick gloss and a little goes along way. Great for excessive shine and helps fight humidity and frizz. Using on dry hair before heating tools for a beautiful finish. The scent is so nice!
