Agree.  They don't destroy the companies they purchase like Este Lauder does.

I was using Shiseido products for a few months  but it became too expensive plus all their products have parabens in them, which I don't like.

So will DE now animal test? I am assuming they didn't before.

Say it ain't so. I really like Drunk Elephant products, plus they are Cruelty-Free. Now that Shiseido has purchased them, I will no longer be purchasing. I really try to buy from Cruelty-Free companies.

From the DE Instagram site:

 

Drunk Elephant will always remain cruelty free. This will not change. Hong Kong SAR does not require animal testing, which is the only place where we will be selling in retail (via @SephoraHK), and in mainland China, we are using cross boarder e-commerce which does not require the same registration process as cosmetics sold via retail there. We do not, and will not, have a retail location mainland China.

We are @leapingbunnyprogram certified, and have never, nor will we ever, animal test or allow our products to be tested on animals. ♥️
