I will not patronize companies that manufacture and sell in China. China is notorious for animal abuse, manipulation etc. for testing, for their so-called “miracle cures”, etc. as well as unclean and suspicious conditions and processing. They have no regard for other life forms at all. I would rather pay more money (and do) for products made in the USA where there is regulation and certification for non-testing and abuse. Estee Lauder may have the right intentions to an extent, but they are also doing it for publicity. I also think the way they are going about it is misleading. If you are truly cruelty-free and concerned about the welfare of animals, you would very prominently display it on your products, website, etc. It’s a shrewd marketing campaign that would be very misleading to many people if they don’t actually follow-thru and stop testing for all of their brands.

Thank you for the time and effort you spend sending your readers updated information on cruelty- free cosmetics. Yours is the best list I have ever used and I check it regularly. The animals and I thank you for making your readers aware of what is happening.

Either your cruelty free or your not. Parts of a company should not be allowed to be cruelty free if the whole company does not comply. Seems like a good trick to get part of the market share without really changing your behaviour.

It’s consumer sovereignty that we are seeing here. Soon, many other brands will join the movement.

In reply to Kathy. Agreed, Kathy. Also, I don't think it's the Chinese people. I firmly believe it's the big companies who make those decisions. Their government isn't concerned with human rights; do you think they care about animal rights?

In reply to Yvonne Walker. I agree, Yvonne. I think EL feels cruelty-free/vegan is now a thing and influencing purchase decisions, and they now want to tap into that market. I also will not buy from EL or any of their sleezy brands until they are 100% cruelty free and vegan. :)

Estee Lauder does not care about ceasing animal testing — not enough to give up profits from China. Any half-baked initiative they take toward appearing as caring is just a defensive measure to not lose more customers. It is hypocritical to join in with an organization dedicated to eradicating animal cruelty — but to not go cruelty-free all the way themselves. Saying “we’re cruelty-free — except for when we sell in China” is like saying “I want everyone to know I’m a vegan. Except for when I go to a steakhouse. They have no vegan options, so I have no choice but to eat meat.” Buddy, you’re not a vegan then, are you? And Estee Lauder is not a cruelty-free company.

Many thanks to Suzana for continued excellent work. I trust you more than most authorities on what’s truly cruelty-free.

In reply to Superangel. I am going to remain faithful to the brand's I have always used that have always remained cruelty free putting animals first instead of making blood money on products that have been used for barbaric evil animal testing!!!
