How does a company
get on the "Don't Test" list?
Companies listed as "Don't Test" have either signed our statement of assurance
that they are cruelty-free or provided a statement verifying that they do not conduct
or commission any non-required animal tests on ingredients, formulas, or finished
products and that they pledge not to do so in the future.
Why are these companies
included on the "Do Test" list?
The companies on the "Do Test" list manufacture products that are tested
on animals. Listed in parentheses are examples of products manufactured by either
the company listed or its parent company. For a complete listing of products manufactured
by a company on this list, please visit the company's Web site or contact the company
directly for more information. Companies on this list may manufacture individual
lines of products without animal testing (e.g., Clairol claims that its Herbal Essences
line is not animal-tested), but have not, however, eliminated animal testing from
their entire line.
How often are the
lists updated?
This database is updated weekly to reflect any new additions, deletions, or changes
to existing info. The list is based on the most current information available to
us.
Are all the products
on the "Don't Test" list vegan?
No. Only the companies marked as "vegan" manufacture strictly vegan products—made
without animal ingredients, such as milk and egg byproducts, slaughterhouse byproducts,
lanolin from sheep, honey, or beeswax. Companies that are not marked as vegan may
still offer some vegan products.
I can't find a particular
company on either the "Do Test" list or
the "Don't Test" list. What does that mean?
A company may not be found because it has a parent company that tests on animals,
because we have no information on its policies, or because it claims to be cruelty-free
but has not yet signed our statement of assurance (this must be done in order to
be listed). You can inquire with us regarding companies not listed or write to them
directly and ask.
