Winsor & Newton :Winsor Newton Animal derived ingredients list (information sheet preexists their acquisition of the Letraset markers)
C.Kreul: https://www.veganartstuff.info/2017/04/18/products-by-c-kreul
Following companies were worried about the raw materials being contaminated by an animal source; however, I wander whether they were the only ones mentioning this, being concerned with this matter:
–Edding: cruelty-free; they do not use animal ingredients in their products, including the nail lacquer
–Staedtler: cruelty-free; they use beeswax in some products
–Stabilo: (did not mention being cruelty-free) they do not use animal raw materials, such as fats and tallow
https://www.veganartstuff.info/2017/03/22/brands-companies-update/
No further information/miscellaneous:
-Yupo Paper by Legionpaper: Yupo is entirely synthetic, but no information about the manufacturing process
–Botz Glazes: Botz is a small business and although its own brand glazes could be considered vegan friendly (including cruelty free), they cannot guarantee this for the supply chain and the other products they sell.
https://www.veganartstuff.info/2017/03/22/brands-companies-update/
These Companies don’t want to be mentioned, they are cruelty-free:
–Caran d’Ache (they prefer individual customer inquiries, they do have some vegan friendly products, so do write to them)
–Pentel
Following Companies are in the process of building up vegan friendly product data, but because of their wide range of products, this can take 1 to 2 years:
- Koh-I-Noor (most of their products should be suitable,except inks, animal hair brushes, and wax aquarelles.)
- Colart for Conté à Paris, Winsor&Newton, Lefranc & Bourgeois, Reeves, and others. At the moment you can inquire for specific product information
https://www.veganartstuff.info/2017/03/22/brands-companies-update/
For following companies it is a NO on vegan suitability, for some it might change in future:
- Schjerning (paints)
- Buttinette (paints and glues)
- Arches (paper)
- Stillman & Birn (paper)
- St Cuthbert Mill (paper)
- Waterstons Sealing Wax
- Chartpak
- Grumbacher
- Cretacolor
- Holbein
- Herbin (inks and sealing wax; not interested in vegan products -> G-Lalo)
- Brause (not interested in vegan products -> G-Lalo)
- Havo (paints, e.g. brand Creall)
- Lamy
- Schneider Pens
I am waiting for replies from following companies currently:
–Marabu (various paints, including fabric paints)
–Lukas (Lukas Cryl Studio); second try contacting
–Kuretake
–Viarco (Art Graf; graphite products)
These companies did not respond to further inquiries:
-Deco Art
-Viarco for Art Graf (still hope here for an important update)
-Winsor & Newton
-Daniel Smith
-Dc.Ph. Martin’s (Salis International Inc.)
-Colorfin for Sofft Sponges
-Tombow
-Elmer’s Glue (did not deliver sufficient information, that was the second try, so I gave up on them; Elmer’s is a Newell Brand, like Rotring and Uniball for those two I got no replies at all)
Contacting following companies did not work:
-Deleter & Deleter US; mail error, although I used the correct email addresses from their websites
-Montana (constant error on their website; it could not sent the inquiry; no extra mail address to be found)
Following companies did never reply, so I read this as indifference towards the vegan art sector:
-Clairfontaine
-Vang (paper and Jaxon oil pastels)
-Tsukineko (tried it twice; the person who informed me about the ink pads (back then just inquired about the product itself being vegan; and they were) years back probably does no longer work there and no reply by the second inquest to customer service)
-Lukas (I hope they respond the second time; I mean this time it is just one product range, that I own several products of, so I am a customer and I hope there will be a reply this time; years back they did verify me the Cryl Studio range except black being vegan (inquiry was about the product itself being free of animal derivatives; no extended inquiry about manufacturing process etc.) and I also inquired about Nerchau paint products that I own and owned (because except one (the Patina) all are dried out by now).
-Posca (marker)
–Folia Bringmann (origami paper; coloured and patterned paper)
–Rico Design (various paints & glues; fabric paint ink pads)
–Spectrum Noir (alcohol marker and coloured pencils)
