Hourglass is a vegan and cruelty-free beauty brand redefining luxury cosmetics through innovative formulas, cutting-edge performance and covetable packaging. ALWAYS CRUELTY-FREE SEEING EYE TO EYE WITH ANIMALS Since our first product launch in 2004, Hourglass has been proudly cruelty-free and taken an active stand against animal testing. We donate 1% of annual profits from hourglasscosmetics.com to our partner, the Nonhuman Rights Projects, a U.S. organization that works to secure fundamental rights for animals. #FREEHAPPY THE STORY OF AN EXTRAORDINARY ELEPHANT Happy is an elephant who was born in the wild and captured from her natural habitat. As the first Elephant to pass the mirror self-recognition test, Happy is incredibly intelligent and self-aware, but has been held captive at the Bronx Zoo for decades. For the past 16 years, she has lived in isolation despite the fact that elephants are highly social beings. In 2018, the Nonhuman Rights Project began petitioning for Happy's liberty. And in 2022, she became the first animal to seek legal personhood from the Court of Appeals, a historic milestone for animal rights.
