List of Companies That Do Animal Testing

lovessister2 — Thu, 08 Jan 2015 01:34:41 GMT

These companies still test on animals (and for those who are naïve, it doesn't mean they dab the creams onto their little faces). Products or ingredients are put inside their eyes, get injected into their skin and some animals are even forced to inhale ingredients until they are sick:

Perricone

Peter Thomas Roth

Philosophy

Benefit (sold on HSN)

Bobbi Brown

Clarisonic

StriVectin

Signature Club A (sold on HSN) most likely does as they refuse to respond.

Shame on all of them. While animal testing is mandatory for products sold in China, these companies always have the choice not to test.

The Beagle Freedom Project has a Cruelty Cutter smart phone app that can help identify companies that test on animals and those that don't.

By the way, Josie Maran does NOT test on animals And I think that IT Cosmetics does not either.

I am not sure what websites you got your information from but Perricone does not test on animals (there was a big discussion of this on the forums awhile back).

Directly from Perricone's webiste:

""Are your products tested on animals?

Perricone MD does not and will never test on animals.""

Thanks, HappyDaze. I will recheck my facts (and web sites) as I do want to have accurate information and companies do change their minds and begin to conform. I am aware that companies will say "we never test our products on animals" and get away with it because they, in fact, hire out the testing. Or they do not test their final product, but the INGREDIENTS are all tested when a formula changes. I tend to distrust just a bit but will look into it. UPDATE: I got this info off Paula's Choice web site and another animal rescue site. But I checked a more reputable one and Perricone is listed as NOT testing on animals. Wonder if he did at first and then changed.

I thought animal testing was banned! Thanx for the list. I won't be buying from these companies anymore. Good-bye Bobbi Brown, PTR and Phil.

I checked Paula's Choice for this after it was posted, and she states that Perricone does not test on animals.

I believe Perricone sells their products in China like Peter Thomas Roth. Perricone is not on the Leaping Bunny list of cruelty free companies. Paula's Choice has moved Perricone to the list of companies that don't test on animals. But then, she has Sally Hansen listed as cruelty free and they are owned by Coty.

They would still have to state they test "when required by law", which they did not state. PTR withdrew their designation as "cruelty free" once they decided to sell in China. Not all companies that are cruelty free use the leaping bunny logo.

No, I hear ya! It is a mess trying to navigate through the truth. There is alot of misinformation out there. I always try to go directly to the company to get answers but some will just never answer you, unless you are persistent. Still others will often use vague terms to circumvent answering the question directly.

Thanks so much for this thread. I have dropped brands when I heard they tested. It's hard to keep up. That...""except when required by law"" tells me they test.

Here is a link that was interesting. The gray area of animal testing.

Thank you ALL who care about the life of animals.

stop animal testing on these

Dixie doesn't understand.

She doesn't understand why people hurt her.
She doesn't understand why she was never let outside.
She doesn't understand why she was never given toys or treats.
She doesn't understand why no one ever loved her.

IT Cosmetics develops its products in South America and I wonder if it uses animal testing there.

NAVS, National Anti-Vivisection Society, lists companies that test on animals.

Paula Begoun, author of Don't Go to the Beauty Counter Without Me, and founder/owner of Paula's Choice cosmetics, compiles her list from the NAVS list. She also contacts companies not on the list to verify their practices. Some divulge the information while some will not.
