is Shany Cosmetics Cruelty Free ? Shany's Response

HELLO BOOS, I recently reach out to Shany Cosmetics to find out if they are cruelty free, this is the response I got back from them. Any questions feel free to comment below.

It seem there answer all the questions but they do use palm oil they are getting back with me to see if its from an organic source. Which they will update with me later on the details of that. Other then that it looks like they pass the cruelty free answers and I would definitely consider them a Cruelty Free Company. 

Until next time.
