Marc Anthony

Yes, Marc Anthony® hair products are cruelty-free. Cruelty-free is a term most often used to identify companies that do not test their products on animals. The Marc Anthony® brand is registered with PETA's Beauty Without Bunnies Program. Companies on the "don't test" list have signed a statement of assurance that their products are not tested on animals and will not be in the future. Registration with PETA's program also requires that registered companies do not test individual ingredients on animals or hire another company to test on their behalf.

Sulfates are a type of detergent used to make cleansers, body washes, toothpaste and shampoo lather or foam. Many people are moving away from using products made with sulfates. Some avoid hair products with sulfates because of the potential impact on the environment. Others favor sulfate-free formulations because they clear dirt, styling products and excess oil without stripping essential moisture. Marc Anthony® hair products are sulfate-free.

Parabens are a type of synthetic preservative often used in personal care products. Marc Anthony® hair care products are paraben-free. That's an important distinction for many people because of studies showing how parabens absorb into the bloodstream. As the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) reviews the current data to determine if parabens are safe or harmful, many companies avoid them entirely.

Many Marc Anthony® shampoos, conditioners and styling products are made without animal-sourced ingredients. But some of them are. Communication from a company representative suggests the glycerin in the brand's products is plant-sourced. But two other potential ingredients are animal products. If you see hydrolyzed keratin or collagen in the list of ingredients, the product is not vegan-friendly.

Marc Anthony®Strictly Curls® styling foam is an extra hold, frizz-minimizing product for fine, limp hair. The shine-boosting formula enhances volume and bounce while defining your curls. For best results, tousle your hair before distributing the foam. Then allow your hair to dry naturally or gently blow-dry. For maximum curl enhancement, flip your hair over and dry with a diffuser.
