Popular brands and animal testing. A list of who does and who doesn't.
30 Apr 2012
Animal testing is something I have always been against, and this blog post is something I've been thinking about doing for a few weeks now (even before the Lush outcry) as I'm trying to go fully cruelty free in the make-up and skincare department over the next few months. Obviously I have products that I need to use up that are not cruelty free, and I will not be repurchasing unless they become cruelty free. There are also brands that I've lusted over in the past and will not be able to purchase now because they test on animals which is disappointing, but I'd rather have a clear conscious than a bit of powder in my make-up bag.This is obviously my own personal pledge and I'm not forcing it upon anyone, you do your own thing. But it's better to be informed isn't it?
I've done a lot of googling, visiting of brands websites' and gone off of PETA's website for pretty much all of these brands, especially those on the do test list, if they're on PETA's site, then they do, simple. I *think* my information is correct, if you're not sure it's best to do a bit of searching yourself.
Thankfully the do not test list is longer than the do. I've tried to search out the more popular brands that maybe you'd want to know about, but my brain could only remember so much! ;)



I'm not going to claim this is a 100% true, the internet is a murky place after all...
But I hope this has been some use to you all!

Wow...I'm a lil shocked in this day & age that this is still even an issue when so many animals are becoming extinct & endangered. Geez. I think I'm going to re-evaluate certain products I use because of this info...I use primarily Revlon and I'm a lil happier now that the do not test on animals...Great post, informative! =)

I'm glad Benefit don't test - I wasn't sure. Other than them, I only use Barry M and Rimmel - the latter of whom are pretty unclear on whether they do or don't test.
ReplyDeleteThat sooo much for this. The only list I've ever known of was PETA's list and it's been years since I've checked that. Bookmarking this!
ReplyDeleteGreat post! I work at a Paul Mitchell salon and can confirm that they do not test on animals, in fact they were one of the first in the industry to speak out against animal testing. Even their John Paul Pet line, which is for animals is "tested on humans first" :)
ReplyDeleteGreat post! I wasn't aware of what brands that do test on animals, but now I know and I will definitly think twice before I am thinking of buying from brands that do test on animals. I will definitly bookmark this!
ReplyDeleteAw dang I use a couple of the brands that do test on animals! Better to be in the know, though! Thanks for sharing Annabel! This is really useful!
ReplyDeleteI've been meaning to switch to non-animal tested products for a while now. It's been hard for me to come to this decision, to be completely honest, as one of my employers tests (mark., owned by Avon) on animals. So conflicted!
