Mars Candy Of course we want to know the things we eat are safe to be putting in our bodies, but many groups think this kind of testing could be done with consenting human subjects rather than animals. Iams pet food Of all the products in your house, you would probably think that your pet food would be among the most animal friendly.
Vaseline Vaseline petroleum jelly and the other lotions and skin products under that name are great for keeping your skin moist and crack-free. Related Articles. Latest Articles. Load more. Basic biological research constitutes the most common use of animals in experiments around the world. It does not involve the testing of new medicines for humans or other animals and is conducted entirely on a voluntary basis.
The likelihood of such speculative research actually leading to advances in human medicine is very slim. The use of genetically modified animals GM has been an increasing trend for the last 30 years and while the sheer scale of GM animal use is difficult to determine, it is clearly responsible for year on year increases in animal numbers worldwide.
Researchers focus on genes that may be relevant in human medical conditions. Far from being harmless tests, suffering has been acknowledged at every step of the GM process. For example, many of the animals die while they are still babies because the defect they have is so severe.
It is also an extremely wasteful process as a huge number of animals are often needed to produce just one specific type of GM animal who carries the desired traits.
Experiments using GM animals are unable to fully mimic complex human diseases, particularly those like cancers and heart disease that are more commonly caused by lifestyle and environmental factors, rather than genetics.
Why on earth would they need to keep testing them, let alone on animals? It just makes no sense at all. Would they be listed under another brand name? I used to be an Avon rep too. I wish now I could undo that, and not just because of all the money I lost when they signed up too many reps for my tiny rural area and everyone had to compete to make a single sale. Thank you for the list. And now how wonder I figure out. Such as the lier. Getting their animal testing policy is like pulling teeth.
Daaamn, I thought Oriflame was completely cruelty free. It seems that after a bit of research they sell to countries where it might be required. The fragrances are also tested. So idk if you would like to add them on to your list. It is so unnecessary and medieval to test products designed for humans on animals.
The pet food I do understand though, it is for the animals…. Now if only they would clean up their ingredients… I am an affiliate for Jurlique and I had no idea they test on animals.
I have sent a query to them and if this is true I will no longer be a rep for them. What about Elizabeth Arden and Clarins? 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. China represents a difficult and highly competitive market and we are excited to lead the skin care world in Sephora China.
They have to test for eye, skin and respiratory irritants. If a brand sells their beauty, perfume or home care products in China, they are consenting to animal testing and cannot be considered cruelty free.
There is nothing the company can do once the products enter China. Your analogy is faulty. These companies all know the ethical cost of doing business in China, and choose to do it anyway, as per the above example. How can you defend that? 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.
An exception could only be made if regulatory authorities demanded it for safety or regulatory purposes. 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. Sorry, Cinnamon Bun. 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.
It would be awesome if you labeled those which are sold in China with an asterisk or something as to why they are not cruelty-free. Yes I understand the company should still back out of China if they truly care, but it would just also be nice to know in general their stance.
They can be considered no less cruelty-free than any other testing company — just less honest. Moroccan oil was listed as cruelty free but crossed out and is not currently listed as animal testing.
Can anyone clarify? So… just slather coconut oil onto everything? I think every brand I use is in this list. Thank you Marta for your kind words!
This is a very misleading post. I can not stand up for all of these companies… but I can stand up for the one I work for. Mary Kay — USA does not test on animals. Most of our plants in other countries do not test on animals either. In fact I am most certain that quite a few of these companies listed here are for that very same reason. And the humane choice is to not to try and change the rules and regulations for product testing in China? How does testing in one single country change their moral stance?
So cruel they must be to want to make an actual effort in the world. Profits before ethics. Some of their products are. It is so frustrating to see some of the actually almost ALL of the top notch and my favorite brands such as YSL and Dior to be not cruelty-free. Avon has never tested on animals, i use to sell it!
They pride themselves on not using animals products or testing on them. You should be careful not to spread gossip. In fact thanks to true campaigners to ban cruelty to animals has pretty much already succeeded as there are very few who can use animals in the creation and testing as it is a world wide ban now!
Avon and Dior sell in China. It says so in their FAQs on their website. Avon does test on animals. Even when they said they were not. They lied and were caught. They were outsourcing testing for decades and were in multiple lawsuits over misleading consumers.
Then you are putting dollars in the pockets of the murderers. China is the biggest emerging market in the world, and in the end producers will go where there are masses of new consumers. I guess I have a bit to think about now. Hi Hope. I understand your dilemma. A few years ago I started using essential oils and it opened up a whole new world for me in terms of skin care.

Hi Jordan, I wrote about this recently. Garneer is claiming to not test on animals anymore. Can anyone verify this? 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.

When I realized what the bs it was, I left my job. Hi Suzi… What is your take on brands like Nivea and Eucerin? Beiersdorf is supposed to cruelty-free, given the EU ruling.

Eucerin do not test on animals! Your list is incorrect! Is there any chance you could organize your cruelty-free list like this? I have a question: Lancome is mentioned as a brand that tests on animals on the make up section. However, in the fragrances section, Lancome is not mentioned. Does this mean that the perfumes sold by Lancome are cruelty free? Eucalyptus oil is a holy grail cleaning product! Just a few capfuls in a spray bottle with water.
