Frequently asked questions answered

Thursday Plantation products are suitable for all skin types.

Everyone is different and therefore, we advise to skin patch test products prior to use.

 

To perform a skin patch test, place 1 drop on the wrist and leave for 24-48hours. If any sign of redness, itching, or irritation appears, discontinue using the product. For young children, we recommend to place 1 drop further up the arm where the child is unable to lick or swallow the product.

The Thursday Plantation range is suitable for vegans.

Integria Healthcare, the makers of Thursday Plantation, do not perform animal testing on any Thursday Plantation products.

Since 2006 the Thursday Plantation brand now forms part of the Integria Healthcare company portfolio. Cruelty Free is a company accreditation, therefore all products sold by the company have to be reviewed, not just the Thursday Plantation products. Since becoming one company, Integria Healthcare sells over 2000 products and has made the strategic decision not to apply for Cruelty Free accreditation due to the resource allocation required to complete the review.

 

This decision in no way changes the fact that animal testing is not carried out on our products, merely that we have chosen to no longer seek this accreditation.

Where possible we choose to use ingredients derived from coconut, soybean, grapeseed or sunflower oils, however. Some Thursday Plantation products contain palm oil or palm oil derivatives. Where such an ingredient is used, it is sourced from sustainable palm oil plantations. Palm oil derived ingredients are used in Thursday Plantation products to replace synthetic ingredients, moving forward it is our plan to replace even sustainable ingredients with other vegetable based ingredients.

Thursday Plantation has been part of Integria Healthcare since 2006. Integria Healthcare is an Australian operated company which owns Thursday Plantation and other iconic Australian health brands, including Thompson’s, Eagle and Mediherb. Being part of Integria Healthcare is a great opportunity to help Thursday Plantation better deliver against our mission of producing high quality personal care products derived from nature’s oils, available to everyone, everywhere.
