 The BAD List: Companies That DO Test on Animals
Good List Toxic Beauty Consumer Tips Back Issues Back Issues Back Home Repeat after me .. "I will no longer give my hard-earned dollars (euros, whatnot) to companies that cruelly and needlessly torture animals and spray their faces with banal products." Below, you will find a fairly comprehensive list of companies that test their products on animals.

The list below, which has been maintained over a course of over ten years by this site, is, in my opinion, the most stringent available on the world wide web. If any group has a valid reason to doubt the "animal-friendly" claims of any company, they are put on this list. The list has been compiled via stated policies, the findings/listings of various animal rights groups (as noted), the diligent work of many compassionate individuals out there (noted as permitted) and my own correspondence/findings.

Back * Notations in BOLD BLUE refer to the group or method which exposed the company in question. I get a lot of questions saying "but the bottle says." There are no regulations concerning labels using phrases like "no animal testing," "product not tested," or "animal-friendly." Since there is no repercussion (other than smarter consumers knowing better), many companies choose to simply LIE about their policy.
