This is a great site. Thank you. I never realized Peta did this. Excepting them as cruelty free even thought they sell to cruel countries. It sickens me.

I love that you have this website. It’s really opened my eyes as to how deceptive so many of these companies are..companies I believed were cruelty free,like Dove and Aveeno,and most shockingly,Avon. I remember when they supposedly went cruelty free over 20 yrs ago. I just wanted to say thank you,and keep the pressure on these brands making false claims. If possible,I would love to get an answer about O’keefe’s. They claim no animal testing,but no where can I find if they sell in mainland China..absolutely nowhere. Please help if you can. Thanks!

Thankyou for that information….I purposely do not buy anything tested on animals ….and I’m absolutely fuming that I have been duped …..I will not be buying anything from these companies in future and will not be buying anything other than leaping bunny products….I am disgusted in false marketing from Peta

Can you please explain to me by email possible, as I’ve gathered up all of my NYX, Too Faced, Urban Decay, LA Girls, LA Colors name ( Quite a HUGE lot) to bring back, when I saw “manufactured in Taiwan” on the back of several of the packages.

Are you telling us that in all truthful ness you know FOR SURE that while these brands are being MADE in China they’re somehow getting under the “animal testing” radar, and that you know for SURE that they’re NOT being sold there?

I would appreciate any help and relief you can provide me as I’m on my second night of no sleep!!

But then I still have to ask knowing the horrors that country puts its animals through for so many other companies, should we be ok with ours being produced there at all??? YUCK!!

Thank you,
Jamie Littlewolf

I don’t get it.

If they have the certification and have talked with the relevant authorities in order to secure no testing, how does that makes them non-cruelty free? Do they have control over those post market tests or are they imposed to do them? Does companies that are at risk of post market animal testing need to approve those testings? If they already had all relevant talks to provide and secure no testing of their brand with the authorities why would they be imposed post market testing?

A vegan friend is recommending products from Thrivecausemetics,com and Osmia; do you have any info about these two companies?

Thank you, your website is invaluable!

My question is, does nobody really care about testing parent companies anymore? Urban Decay being purchased by L’Oreal is a grey area for me because UD has always been an animal champion, but anything that benefits Procter & Gamble, or Unilever, gives money to giants who fund massive animal testing both here and in China. I see that your site mentions the testing parent company where applicable, but you, like PETA, are giving these brands a pass because they don’t sell that particular line in China? I just don’t get it…
