You’d be surprised at how many companies test on animals in this day and age. Check out our long list of brands that test on animals to help you make more ethical choices when buying makeup, hair care, dental products, and skincare.
The brands mentioned in this list have either tested their cosmetics/products on animals themselves or paid for tests to be carried out by third parties on their behalf.
Companies That Test On Animals
Why do companies test on animals? Cosmetics companies are not forced to test their products on animals, they choose to. Some countries require products to be tested on animals before allowing the brand to enter the market. It all boils down to how much profit a brand can make in a lucrative market like China.
Types Of Products
This list includes brands that manufacture makeup, skincare, fragrance, laundry products, kitchen products like dishwashing detergent, dental products and oral care like toothpaste and mouthwash, razors, deodorant and men’s cologne, personal care products like soap, body wash, shampoo and conditioner, face wash, and acne treatments.
Other types of products that are tested on animals are condoms, pads and tampons, baby powder, cleaning products like bench spray, disinfectants, sanitary wipes, anti-bacterial products, hand wash, and oven cleaner.
Companies Who Test On Animals From A-Z
The links below will tell you which products test on animals and who the brand’s parent company is. The majority of the brands are owned by corporations like Procter & Gamble, Coty, Estee Lauder, Clorox, Colgate-Palmolive, Unilever, Revlon, Johnson & Johnson, Church & Dwight, Henkel, Clorox, GlaxoSmithKline, Bayer, and Estee Lauder.
We look forward to a permanent ban on animal testing throughout the world. Head below for a list of cruelty-free brands.
