The following list consists of companies that are not cruelty-free. Its main source is PETA, and we’ve supplemented it with our own research. These brands engage in animal testing OR fund animal testing in some capacity, the most common example being by testing on animals where the law requires it. Also note that some of the brands listed here misleadingly label themselves as “cruelty-free”, a term that is not regulated.

Big Corporations Who Test On Animals
Most of these brands are owned by a few giant corporations: L’Oreal, Estee Lauder, Procter & Gamble, Clorox, Johnson & Johnson, S.C. Johnson, Colgate-Palmolive, Reckitt Benckiser, Church & Dwight, Unilever, and Henkel.
These companies own the majority of the brands we commonly find in most retailer stores and drugstores, and they’re making no real efforts to change their unethical policies.
There are however two exceptions, the first one being Colgate-Palmolive, which have agreed to gradually change their policy. PETA currently lists Colgate-Palmolive as “working toward regulatory changes to reduce the number of animals used for testing”. This does NOT mean the company is or will be cruelty-free in the near future! It’s only a small step in the right direction, and the company still DOES test on animals at this point.
The second exception consists of a few select brands. While in most cases, brands that are owned by companies that test on animals are not cruelty-free, L’Oreal is one of the few companies to own brands that have kept their ethical stances and have remained cruelty-free under the ownership. The same goes for Too Faced and Becca (now owned by Estee Lauder but still cruelty-free) and Tom’s of Maine (Colgate-Palmolive). All the brands mentioned on this list, however, do test on animals.
Please note that this list is not exhaustive. This list only includes companies that claimed they test on animals at some point, or sell in China; there are many other companies who remained silent about their animal testing policy.

Tabitha says:Hello,
Thank you for sharing this. I used to buy their products thinking they were effective and the only option. The more research and shopping I do, the more I realize there are MANY MANY AMAZING brands out there that do not subject innocent and helpless animals to the torture of animal testing, and are just as effective, if not better. It doesn’t take a genius to figure that out. Watching videos of rabbits being restrained while a lab worker drops poison into their eyes is horrifying and enough to make you angry and sick. Spend your money wisely and choose cruelty free!

Dear Cruelty Free Kitty,
Hi. My wide eyed Vegan stare just got a little more dazed. So, today I’m ditching my…
Arm & Hammer detergent
Downy fabric softener
Bounce dryer sheets
and Colgate toothpaste
So sad. I’m fragrance & chemical sensitive. And broke. But, nothing is worth torturing animals.
Whatever discomforts my journey takes me on, It’s nothing compared to an animal alone in a sterile cage with no friends or toys or grass to play on…while the evil scientist makes them violently ill. No, I won’t miss my former brands.
Also, I’ve tried Blueland surface cleaners, but they weren’t effective for me. Also sheets laundry detergent, also didn’t like.
But, Method surface cleaner & glass cleaner are very effective, great light natural scent, leaping bunny certified, and safe to use around pets and kids. Also, affordable economy size refill, and, much less expensive in certain stores. So, maybe I’ll try their laundry soap.
It’s really not that difficult. Once we realize that we’ve been tricked into paying for cruelty. Success is always the best revenge!
Luv ya Kitty Kitty!
Best always, Liz

Hello
I am an art student who is currently working on an art project around banning animal testing and saving animals. Is there any way I could set up an interview or speak to someone such as a manager or higher up in the company asking a few questions in order to help with my project? This would extremely help to aid my project and would mean a lot!
Many thanks

Hi Sheryl. NONE of Aldi’s products are tested on animals at any stage. That goes for hygiene, beauty, babycare and laundry products. That’s why I stock up when I can as I don’t live near a branch. Their products win accolades year on year up against overpriced, famous brands, so if Aldi can do it, why can’t they? Disgusting and heartwrenching. Asda’s own brands are also cruelty free. Keep reading labels and google before you buy ????

Hi Suzi, could you please tell us whether Surface brand is cruelty-free? The reason I ask is because I have curly hair and it can be hard to find salons that specialize in curly hair care and products. Surface is one of the hair care brands that salons in my area use and this particular salon is a lot cheaper than the ones I’ve found that use DevaCurl, so I just wanted to confirm. The brand does claim to be completely vegan. Thanks so much for creating this site and all your wonderful resources!

I’m very disappointed to find out that I have indeed been using and have given my money to some cruel companies. I WON’T make that mistake again! Thank you so much for this comprehensive list! Very helpful. It just blows my mind that this world is so crappy that ppl will actually torture animals for money. But that is not nearly as hard to believe as the ppl who will give these companies without a care. Some out of ignorance, I know. I was one of them. But now that I know….. it just gives me this awful feeling I can’t explain to think about what might actually go on. All in the name of “beauty”. All in the name of “business” and the almighty dollar. Very sad. smh

Thank you very much for this very systematic article. I am astonished to find that many of these products are sold in Danish supermarkets taking into consideration that products tested on animals are forbidden in Europe. People generally think that products such as Sanex, Zendium and Yves Rocher are owned by environmentally responsible people and are not aware that many of these sell to China or have other brands tested on animals. I would really like to see all of these brands taken down from the shelves in the supermarket.

Do you have any source material as to how you found out that certain companies are guilty of animal testing? Oriflame for example, is one of the founding companies that hasn’t done animal testing since 1967, as THEY claim. So seeing them on this list, makes me really curious to read any source material that says otherwise? I’ve been using Oriflame for years because of the fact that they claim they don’t test on animals, so if that’s a lie, I’d really love to read articles in which this comes forward. So if you have any source material on this, I’d be very grateful!

However they are cruelty free and even mentioned that the labels on there products even mention that they never test on animals as well.
Not sure where you’re getting your information from as it seems all scattered. So i’m just going to assume you’re an uncredible blogger and skewing your facts to get more clicks on your page.
It sucks because some of us genuinely want to know which brands are cruelty free and not, don’t make up nonsense and misguide people.
Reply
- Suzana Rose says:
Did you ask them if they test on animals where required by law or allow third-parties to test on their behalf? This is their policy: “Bath & Body Works policy prohibits the testing of our branded products, formulations and ingredients on animals except in rare cases when required by government regulations. Through our involvement in the Institute for In Vitro Sciences, we are supporting research to develop alternative non-animal methods which we believe will ultimately result in the elimination of animal testing worldwide.”
Translation: not cruelty-free. Victoria’s Secret is in the same boat and owned by the same parent company, and they’re on PETA’s list of companies who test on animals.

We guarantee the safety of our products by using ingredients that have been used reliably for many years, along with effective amounts of preservatives common in cosmetics. These preservatives are non-toxic and non-irritating, helping to safeguard the quality of the products you buy.” I will not purchase Thymes bath products since this company does not provide any CF information on their suppliers.

I’m so mad at Avon! As I never went deeply into the subject, I always thought the company is cruelty free as there is a note that they do not test on anmimals, but that is not the same as cruelty free. Another thing, they provided a notice that they need to test their products in order to enter into the China market. These companies should vanish for misleading their customers.

Could you please confirm about Eucerin? I used use their products before I went cruelty free and was double checking now, just because they have some pretty unique products that used to work for me really well. Their website states that they are cruelty free and describes some of their research methods, but makes no mention of ingredients or disclaimer “unless required by law”? I am struggling to find out more info.
Thank you for your work, it is massively helpful!Reply

I have a question actually. I am totally 100% on board with cruelty free and I am trying to be more conscious of what I am supporting as far as my products go. However, how can pet food NOT be animal tested? I mean I know I personally would like my cat food to be cat-approved because that’s the only thing that makes sense. Also, how are diapers and tampons tested on animals? Some of these things on this list don’t have chemicals at all. So how does that work? Thanks in advance.

Hi!
I just want to say thank you for creating this list. I’ve always been conscious of using CF products but sometimes I’d be a bit slack and buy them because I either didn’t check or I just assumed they would be CF. However, as of this year I’m aiming to be completely CF but as you can tell from this list, it’s actually pretty difficult to find a brand that doesn’t test on animals! I’d love to be able to share a link to this post with my followers on my Instagram and blog, if that’s okay with you!Thanks,

As everyone has the ability and option to improve themselves through choice and avoidance of negative influences, then it becomes a choice based on compassion for the animals used; a choice based on wanting humane and ethical treatment for helpless animals that do feel sensations and do suffer in pain. If one person can choose to not hurt an animal unnecessarily, then it is positive as a conscious choice for no animal testing to be done. There are better and different research testing methods that involve no animal testing and that would really help the cosmetics companies in the most ways to allow humane 21st Century advancement.

One point. I would hope that pet food manufacturers do test on animals. After all it will be animals that eat it.
Dog food should be tested using dogs
Cat food should be tested using catsThis of course after other non animal tests to establish that the food is appropriate in terms of nutrients etc.

Noticed L’occitaine are on there but they say ‘L’OCCITANE does not and has never tested its products, its active ingredients or its raw materials on animals at any point in the product development or manufacturing process’. Is it because they use products with Honey in? Might be worth removing from this list as although many vegans don’t consume honey, it’s not technically animal testing, rather using animal products.

A few days ago I was having a discussion with a couple of Nuskin distributers about the NuSkin animal testing statement they have on their website. Claiming they don’t test on animals, except when mandated by law and regulatory agencies, which in my option is very misleading. They sell to China, which in itself means they test on animals and I’m also led to believe some of the ingredients used in their products are also tested on animals. What was really sad, the distributors who where clearly brain-washed, claimed every product of Nuskin was natural, chemical free and not tested on animals. They more interested in their own vanity over animal welfare. They had no interest in understanding the truth and did not accept that Nuskin was listed on PETA’s website as a company who TEST on animals. In fact they claim PETA’s list is a lie!!!

Hi Cruelty-Free Kitty,
Thanks for the article. I was wondering which of the brands you have listed actively test on animals. For example NARS didn’t used to sell to China and didn’t test on animals, therefore was cruelty free. So if it wasn’t for China and their laws, if NARS sold there it would still be cruelty free. I’m not excusing them, I just wanted to know if any of them test on animals in the US, not in China.

I don’t think you’re being entirely fair to some of the companies listed. For example, look at what you have for some of the cosmetic companies, who clearly shouldn’t be on the list (according to Snopes: https://www.snopes.com/critters/cruelty/avontesting.asp). For someone searching for helpful and accurate cruelty-free information, your list is what seems to be cruel. Now I don’t now how much of your website I can really trust, although I was initially quite excited.

Hi Taylor. The website you linked to confirms that those companies still test on animals where required by law, hence why they’re not cruelty-free. This is the case for many companies on this list. If a company wants to sell cosmetics in China, they have to pay for animal testing being performed there, which means they’re not completely honest about “not testing on animals”.

Hi, a friend of mine is just starting a consulting business with Rodan + Fields and I’d love to support her by trying their products, however, I’m having a very hard time finding out if their ingredients are animal tested. They say the products are not and that their formulas are not animal tested but are not directly answering about the ingredients, which leads me to believe they may be altering the wording to lead people to believe they are safe. Does anyone here have any information? This is what they replied to my inquiry (and my friend who is joining their company) when we wrote to them separately:
“Rodan + Fields does not test its formulas on animals. We use alternate in-vitro methods, and voluntary compensated human subjects to verify the safety and efficacy of our formulations.”
That sounds to me like they are referring to the finished product and avoiding the question about the product ingredients.Reply

They do say that it is law for products that are imported into China to be tested on animals and that this is done through 3rd party Chinese testers. Is this why they are on the “yes” list? In that case, any company who exports their products to China would be under the same obligation – which puts a bit of a different spin on it don’t you think? The company itself doesn’t test on animals, but in order to be able to export into China, the products are tested on animals before entering the market.
I’m keen to know if Jurlique really do test on animals in any part of the manufacturing of the product.

Hi. According Eucerin (from their official website):
Research without Animal Testing at Eucerin:
Eucerin does not use animals to test cosmetic products. This has been our policy since long before the directives regulating animal testing in cosmetics went into effect in the European Union in 2004. Convinced that using animals to test cosmetic products in order to prove that they are safe and effective is not necessary, we have worked successfully for more than 20 years with in-vitro alternatives to animal testing. Being a subsidiary of Beiersdorf, one of the well-known leading and accepted research companies around the world, we are actively advocating for the worldwide acceptance of existing animal test-free alternative methods by respective authorities. Furthermore, we strive to fill the gaps where alternative methods are not yet available, supporting those scientific efforts both in terms of personnel and financially.

Please research this. This is not a black and white issue. For many US companies, the products made in the USA ARE cruelty free, but if they import from places like China, they must abide by government regulations. MANY of the companies listed in this ‘article’ have either cut back – or completely out – of importing from China and those that do have limited products so that what they import is NOT tested on animals. They have also introduced alternatives to animal testing in countries that still still require it and in many cases, the countries have listened and are using alternatives to animal testing. Check your facts before spreading stuff like this as a blanket statement. Not cool.

Here’s a general guide to whether a product is tested on animals or not – if it’s made in China it IS tested on animals – it’s a legal requirement that products are tested on animals in China. This is not surprising considering they eat dogs and cats over there! So if it says made in China, it is definitely tested on animals and should be avoided. Don’t just check whether the company is cruelty free, check the country where it is made, and whether that country has laws that deem animal testing must legally be performed. And btw, thanks so much for this great list!!

I brought stuff at the airport before knowing this and It’s really annoyed me. I’ve even recently emailed and gotten no response. Naughty people!

That’s all marketing PR…same blurb from MAC and any other company selling in China. If you buy something that tests in China, the money that you spend goes to the company. The company then has to pay the animal testing agency in China to get approval for sale, so yes, if you buy something in the US, Canada, or where ever, your purchases contribute to the funding of that animal testing. And yes, there is something they can choose to do, not sell in China, like all of the real cruelty-free companies choose to do. Fine if you choose to buy it or sell it, but don’t make false cruelty-free claims.

Actually, you can blame the brand, because it is the brand who is paying an animal testing agency in China so their products can be approved for sale.

Unfortunately this is incorrect.
The full statement you’re quoting is: L’Oréal no longer tests on animals any of its products or any of its ingredients, anywhere in the world. Nor does L’Oréal delegate this task to others. An exception could only be made if regulatory authorities demanded it for safety or regulatory purposes.
L’Oreal still tests on animals where required by law, meaning they’re not cruelty-free.

“An exception could be made if regulatory authorities required it for safety or regulatory purposes.” This is right after their bolded statement in the link you provided.
While they seem to be working toward being truly cruelty-free, they still sell in China. And mainland China still requires, at this time, animal testing. :/ So technically, they’re not cruelty-free. Sorry, Cinnamon Bun.
Also, as a note, I’ve worked for manufacturers in the Health & Beauty industry. When a company includes vague statements like quoted above, you can bet your buns that they’re going to take advantage of the legal wiggle room those statements provide. If they didn’t, those statements wouldn’t even be there.
Unfortunately, non-animal in-vivo testing is way more expensive than traditional animal testing, and these cosmetic mega-companies just don’t care about anything except their profit margins. 🙁 The only way it will change is when the consumer demands higher standards regarding their testing procedures. Which is why it comes down to our thorough understanding of current laws, in the US and globally, and our choices regarding what we will tolerate when it comes to animal torture.Reply

I mean the laws in Europe ban testing cosmetics on animals, so my favourite French skincare brands Avène and Vichy can’t test on animals or outsource animals testing for products sold within Europe (I think that’s the law right now – correct me if I’m wrong)
But I assume they sell products in China which requires animal testing on cosmetics, which really sucks because in the end it’s up to them where they sell their products. China is the biggest emerging market in the world, and in the end producers will go where there are masses of new consumers. China really does need to change it’s stance on cosmetic animal testing (and it’s stance on a lot of things *cough* human rights abuses *cough* the death penalty *cough*)
Still I don’t know where I stand ethically by using these brands, the only brands I know will keep my skin clear and healthy and in a selfish way – allow myself to feel good – knowing that the products being sold to me have not been tested on animals in Europe, but may have been tested on animals in China.

A few years ago I started using essential oils and it opened up a whole new world for me in terms of skin care. Its not just about the essential oils but using completely natural and cheap products you probably have at home anyway to care for your skin.

All product ingredients have to be tested before the FDA can approve it for human use, that’s just how it is and how it always has been.

The Dr Brandt website says that they do not test on animals. From their site: “At dr. brandt® skincare, we are proud to say that we are a cruelty-free-oriented organization. We do not engage in animal testing, nor do we use animal-derived ingredients in any of our products. As leaders in the skincare science industry, we consider it our charge to continually innovate new and effective ways to test products without the use of animals, relying instead on advanced testing methodologies that are strictly cruelty-free. We thoroughly investigate each of the ingredients used in our products, selecting only the finest materials from facilities that measure their results with high-tech machinery instead of animals.” Or do they sell their products in China?

Be careful with products that claim to not test on animals, they often use loopholes by getting other companies to test the products for them. It’s always better to check online before you buy. Or you can use apps that check the product for you. Hope this helps 🙂

Hi Samm, I’ve been working for Bobbi Brown (Estee Lauder Companies) and I was informed they are cruelty free. For almost two years I believed in that lie and I was teaching our customers how animal friendly Bobbi Brown is! When I realized what the bs it was, I left my job. I’m a 100% cruelty free makeup artist now and I feel sick every time I see the Bobbi Brown logo. It’s very easy to be misinformed by the companies.

a lot of brands who state they do not test on animals is because they themsleves are not testing (ie; Benefit) and they are hiring 3rd parties to carry out their testing, or they hire someone to hire someone to do it so they can claim they are cruelty free when infact they are not because they care more about profit, its all a marketing scam!! And it sucks that even brands like Nars who are “cruelty free” are owned by monster’s like Shiseido because in the end they are still reaping benefits. DIY or small Indie brands are they way to go!
You can’t trust brand representatives because they usually dont know and you cant trust the packaging because its all cleverly worded to avoid technicalities, such as brands claiming to be all natural, for example Bare Minerals might have (some natural) options but they market themselves and claim a beautiful natural finish to make you believe its all natural.
Animal testing is awful but I also believe animal derived ingriendents are, although the animal would rather be dead then in those cages. Who wants a cruelty-free lipstick made of dead beetles and sheeps wool/oil? Who wants a cruelty-free anti aging moisturizer with snake venom? (kate sommerville) Who wants a cruelty-free face masks with snail-secretions?
What’s more misleading is that animal-derived ingredients are totally considered “natural”. So your natural cruelty-free brand is full of animal by-products and dead insects.
Vegan is the most ethical choice! Even if you can’t fully commit make the difference when you can!

There’s only an exception if the products are manufactured in China (but not the US). And even then there can be post-market testing. If they’re sold in China and they’re foreign cosmetics, they’re most likely tested on animals.

I have just checked the website for L’Oreal – Kerastase range as I was discussing this with a friend today about whether they are Animal testing or not and I have found on the website that they are not animal testing since 1989.
See below cut and pasted txt from the website and I will also attach the link below as well from the source.
Why would they say that they don’t and you say they do, have you checked your facts or randomly selected massive chain companies to boycott!?
I don’t work for any of these companies, just a civilian trying to purchase products that have not had animal cruelty.
E.g Troy Bate’s below about Nutrimetics.
Facts need to be straightened on this post about animal cruelty brands or I just want to know has this information been sourced properly before being posted.
http://www.kerastase-usa.com/faqs.html#
1. DOES KÉRASTASE TEST ON ANIMALS?
We are happy to confirm that the L’Oréal group of companies, which includes Lancôme, Redken, Garnier, Ralph Lauren, Giorgio Armani, Biotherm, Kérastase, and Vichy, as well as L’Oréal, has carried out no animal testing since 1989 on the entire range of its products. This decision was undertaken within the framework of our fundamental objectives: to offer innovative products of high quality while ensuring their safety in use by our customers. For information about the significant efforts deployed by our laboratories over a period of 25 years to develop alternative methods to animal testing, as well as our very important achievements in this field, please consult our website at
http://www.lorealusa.com.Reply
- Elisha says:
The link you’ve provided literally states that L’Oreal conducts animal testing: ‘An exception [to our no animal testing stance] could only be made if regulatory authorities demanded it for safety or regulatory purposes.’ It’s the classic deflection that ALL cruel companies make in order to appear CF when, in fact, they’re happy to expand their business to China (the biggest market in the world) because $$$. This is their statement in plain language: ‘Our products are animal-tested because we choose to sell in China, where animal testing is mandatory.’

Basically, if a cosmetics company states that they don’t test on animals, then I wouldn’t like to think they do as it has been illegal to test cosmetic products on animals anywhere in the EU since 2013! If the same company sells their stock in mainland China however, then they are not a cruelty free company as by law their products must be tested before being sold there so they are still enabling this unnecessary cruelty to take place, they all should really say ‘unless required by law’ in their policy and then we will know that means ‘we sell our products in China so we do test on animals’ but sadly they don’t as I have found out from research!
So lots of research of beauty products for us all then until China change their law but websites like this make it soo much easier! : .))

After a few weeks of use, your body will detox from years of commercial deodorant/antiperspirant use and your natural smell should improve. I’m not ashamed to say that I am a woman that had very stinky pits and for years went from deodorant brand to brand trying to find one that would work, with no long term success.

What a pathetic response. Other types of employment can be found-it is done frequently in today’s workforce. You obviously know nothing about animal testing or available alternatives or perhaps you are too self absorbed and entitled to care about something other than yourself. It is 100% a companies discretion as to whether to test their products or source raw ingredients from suppliers who test. There are other alternatives but it is more attractive to a CEO to add another million or two to his compensation package than to save the life of a beagle or rabbit.

“Others, completely independent of L’Oréal and outside the direction or control of L’Oréal, might do animal testing pursuant to their local requirements.” the issue with this statement is that they know full well when they are entering a market that requires this testing by law. No one forced them to sell in China, it’s not a legal requirement to sell in China, so it is 100% their own choice to have thier products tested on animals.

They are just as evil as L’Oreal, Unilever, SC Johnson, Revlon, Avon, Mary Kay, the list goes on. You cannot call yourself an animal lover and continue purchasing products knowing that animals are brutally tested on them for no reason. You cannot call yourself an animal lover and eat them. That is a fact. Saying you will not stop using a product that you have for years, says a lot about your character. You are the reason these companies that test on animals stay in business. There are so many that sell in China that say they don’t test on animals and it is a lie. Such as Urban Decay, Benefit cosmetics, etc. They test on animals. Soon as I learned I tossed the products in the garbage. They should all be shut down. They are horrible. The things they do to animals is worse than any nightmare you could ever dream up.

Hi Rachel! Many companies word their animal testing policy in deceiving terms.

Although I agree with your general point and think animal testing is cruel and mostly unnecessary, I am a little confused about the pet food. How else would you test pet food? Human food is tested on humans too… Please explain.
Reply
The issue is the method in which the pet food is “tested”. Animal testing here refers to using lab animals, which are treated extremely poorly. Although lab conditions today are better than they used to be, there are alternatives to using lab animals. The alternative is using “real” pets that go on with their day-to-day lives as opposed to caged lab animals. I hope this explains it a bit better! I did write a lengthly post on the topic. 🙂

How can I ask a company as a private person to prove if that are truly crueltyfree or not? Just a follow upp question so i can check some local brands 🙂

The law was only altered for local companies selling SOME types of cosmetics, so the law is still 100% unchanged for foreign companies like Glamglow. And they do sell in mainland China unfortunately, not just in Hong Kong where that law doesn’t apply. 🙁

Hi Gabriela, thanks for your comment!
Although Tom’s is now owned by a company that tests on animals, the brand itself remained cruelty-free after the change. If you don’t support any brand owned by a company that tests on animals, I realize this doesn’t soften the blow unfortunately. But if it’s of any comfort, Tom’s of Maine is still certified by the Leaping Bunny. I hope you find another brand you love that’s 100% cruelty-free (I can recommend Desert Essence, Alba Botanica, or Jason). Best of luck!

How, exactly, do some of these companies test on animals? Such as the animal food products: how is the testing cruel? And Pampers and Puffs–diapers and tissue paper? How are those tested in a cruel way?
I am all for switching. I’m just honestly curious because I don’t understand how tissue papers can be tested in a cruel way…???
Reply
- Charlotte Fowler says:
most likely its the chemicals in them. For example, disposable nappies have absorbent chemicals and that is what is tested. Some tissues have essential oils etc and those will be tested. So what we get is harmless but they most likely tested other things that were chucked because they harmed the animal they tested on. Also animals used for animal testing are often kept in very bad conditions so its cruel all round.

For anyone reading this at a later date and wondering the same, here are some essential oils that can help. Use either;
>Lemon or Peppermint (for cough and congestion)
>Frankincense (for clearing nasal passages and lungs)

>Eucalyptus (nasal congestions and upper respiratory infections)MAKE SURE TO ALWAYS READ THE INSTRUCTIONS ON THE BOTTLE! Mix a few drops of oil in large glass bowl of hot water and drape a towel over your head to catch the steam. Keep face far enough away that the steam doesn’t burn your skin and breathe in through the nose for approx 10 mins (or longer if needed)

Why would they test pet food products on animals? I’m not a vegan nor a vegetarian but it’s a little sad and interesting to discover the products that do test on animals. They probably start their pet food business because they love pets and they feel that connection that I do. Oh and they decide to test animals like they don’t care. It’s also astonishing because Blue Buffalo always advertises that their dog didn’t like the chick-peas in their food, so they switched to Blue for real meat. Yes, dogs would prefer real meat then chick-peas, but we would all rather at least you have food then potentially kill animals. Even as a non vegan, it confuses me. It doesn’t go into a puzzle.

Yves Rocher do not test on animals. From their website:

– We do not test on animals, nor our finished products or their ingredients
– We support research programs on alternative methods to animal testing
– We do not use raw materials of animal origin, except honey and beeswaxThe fight against animal suffering is and will remain a strong commitment in the Yves Rocher brand.”

Can someone please advise why Benefit is on this list? And on the PETA list? I looked them up because I really love their products and this is what it said. “Benefit does not test our products on animals.
Since 1989, the Perfumes & Cosmetics companies of LVMH group (including Benefit Cosmetics) have not performed any tests on animals for our products – this was implemented long before the 2013 official ban set by the European Union.
We are deeply committed to the elimination of animal testing. We’re playing a leading role in developing alternative methods through our support of the “Fund for Alternatives to Animal Testing” in the United States. We also actively participate in validation studies of new alternative tests in the framework of the European cosmetics association, Cosmetics Europe. We are one of only a few companies to have invested in creating our own internal department to test raw materials and ingredients to further ensure the quality of our products and the satisfaction of our customers, which is our top priority.
We are hopeful that alternative testing methods will be adopted worldwide and we will see an end to animal testing.”

Regarding “how can you not test food on animals”, the tests are SOMETIMES done in extremely inhumane conditions where the dogs are kept in small cages, poor conditions, and die as a result.
There’s no real need to test pet food on animals though, as there are alternative methods. Some pet food companies don’t use animal testing at all.

On their website, Nivea states:
“Beiersdorf, the organisation behind the NIVEA brand, does not test on animals. As a global company, all our affiliates including Australia and New Zealand, are aligned on this stance. We believe animal testing is not required to prove the safety and effectiveness of our products.
In China, however, animal testing is mandated by law for the official registration and certification of the safety of certain product categories. In this case, the tests are conducted by local institutions authorised by the state not by the companies selling the product. Our goal is to convince these authorities that animal testing for cosmetic products is unnecessary and to advocate for the international acceptance of alternative testing methods.”
So because they supply the mainland Chinese market, they can’t be considered cruelty free!

They got some products to be sold in China without testing and they keep working on that, so one day all their products will be cruelty free even in China. I’m in process to become an cruelty free customer, but I think I’ll keep buying from L’Occitane, because I think it’s important that the big companies try to change things in China. If we all avoid to support them, it won’t change much, because in China the problem will continue. I mean Chinese people need stuff too, so the change must come from outside China.

Just an excuse. By selling in China, they have made a decision that their profits are more important than animals lives and rights. If you buy from them, you support this too. If they really were ethical and wanted change, they would put their money were their mouth is and refuse to sell in China; contributing towards the torture of animals UNTIL China changes its policies. Instead, they want that Chinese money and they don’t care how many bunnies, puppies and mice get tortured in the process. They are depending on people to believe their rubbish that they are ‘working on it’ when they CLEARLY have an option B (it just won’t make them as much money.
If they sell in China they are not cruelty-free
If you buy from them, you are not cruelty-free either.

Well no the company should refuse to sell to China. And if enough companies do this China will not have avalibily of brands like Dior, Chanel, its those big brands that need to act. Because they will make the impact needed.
I wont buy a product that has sold its ethics for profit.
I dont care how strong their stance is against animal testing. A strong stance is not being a sell out.
So it may be a brand that promotes no animal testing. But so was body shop back in the day. And they got caught out and there was uproar on the tv. Now they are cruetly free.Reply

Thank you for this – I’m going through all of my products at the moment and it’s very sad that a lot of them in there come under this list, and I had no idea! I’ll be getting rid of them and not buying anymore until they change their policy. Are there any affordable make-up alternatives you would recommend? – Tasha

- Suzi says:
Congrats on making the switch! 🙂 Are you looking for specific product recs? For affordable makeup, I would suggest brands like NYX, Wet’n’Wild, ELF, Hard Candy, Sonia Kashuk. Everything is a bit hit or miss though!

Smashbox and Gosh are cruelty free make up brands as well! But you probably already know that by now.. haha On another note, Sally Hansen doesn’t test their nail polish and other products on animals either!
Reply
- Ripley says:
Sally Hansen should test on something given some of their products can lead to cancer
- Tella says:
Perhaps Sally Hansen should test on human criminals in jail since they deserve to be tortured instead of innocent bunnies. Humans should test their products on themselves, period!

Younique prides itself on being cruelty free & naturally based. Not to mention amazing! Feel free to look around at my website ♡

- Marissa says:
Not when it’s being sold in China. Sorry to inform you of this. Younique is still to new to be added to the list. Tobe continued. .. this product will be added to the list very soon. There are ingredients in the products that are tested on animals. Younique you are not currently free.

Wasn’t aware they sold in China (Hong Kong isn’t subject to animal testing on cosmetics).

I use SoBio here in France…the products are very good and I think my skin looks good with them. Their prices are really good and I can buy them in my local supermarket
Reply
- Monika Willis says:
So biological is made by nuxe and not cruelty free. Just bio. It’s a bit of a trap. I’m currently at monoprix trying to find something!
Reply
- Monika Willis says:
Actually. I’m not sure. I mixed it up with bio beauté. Sorry.☺️
Reply
- Cindy Church says:
in addition to stop using these products, we need to write the company – online and an actual letter – and explain exactly why we will not use or promote their product. Also, that we will actively let everyone know how they test on animals.

- Suzi says:
If you can order online, Personna and Preserve are fairly big brands. You might also find them (or other cruelty-free brands) at health stores.

Hi Suzi! I see that Wet N Wild are on the 2019 update. What is going on with them? I don’t care for most of their stuff, buy do use their mascara. Yikes!!

- Jessica says:
Can you explain what the bold text indicates? Also, when was this list compiled? I am trying to find as up-to-date information as possible. This list is great and I’m hoping it’s recent!! Thanks for all of your research.
Reply
- Suzi says:
Hi Jessica! This list is recent and I update it frequently by tweaking it, and it’s a constant work in progress. The bolded brands are simply the most popular ones.

All youhave to do is buy products with the leaping bunny.logo or that says it is vegan until you learm what ingredients to avoid.
Reply
- Ade says:
A company with good standards will refuse to test on animals even if they cannot enter a market. So for MAC and other companies that sell in China as wellm they put profits before ethics.

Boo to all of these!!! Currently sourcing cleaning products cruelty free so this was really helpful thank you x

Just use plan old vinegar, dish soap and baking soda. That’s all I use to clean my house, aside from window cleaner. Vinegar is magical and you don’t get all those toxic chemicals. My house felt a million times cleaner when i switched from expensive chemical products.
Reply
- Josh E Thelen says:
That means you cannot buy Arm and Hammer baking soda.. wonder if off brand comes from them as well?

Dr. Bronner’s products are amazing, too. You can do just about anything with them and the company is transparent with incredible ethics.

Yes Astonish !! and they are cheap as chips from the 99p store and £1 shops. . . .and M&S for washing liquids, washing up liquids . . . . some people think that makes me loaded to buy such stuff at M&S . . . but when they have offers on, I stock up . . .washing up liquid is about 90p I think . . .

Nutrimetics are cruelty free cleaning products and lasts a long time goes far. http://www.nutrimetics.com.au/tracybaker
and not only that the OLC can even clean your fruit and vegReply

I recommend Dr. Bronner’s magical soaps. The soap can be used for face, hair, body, hands, household cleaning, floors, and even laundry. They use natural, food grade oils that are fair trade, and sustainably sourced. They are leaping bunny certified, and on Suzi’s list. They are an ethical company that gives their employees 15% of their profits, 100% health care, they care and fight for animal care in farming practices, they are non-GMO,and come in a variety of scents that smell incredible. They make bar soaps, toothpaste, lip balm, body balm, lotions, shave cream, bar soap, household cleaner. All around wonderful brand.
