List Of Companies That Still Do Animal Tests in 2019

Detailed below is a list or some of the many companies that still test on animals. Many of these companies own popular and widely recognised brands.

Although some of the individual brands do not test on animals (Burt’s Bees, The Body Shop, Pureology and Urban Decay) they are owned by corporations that do. Therefore, when you purchase any of these products you are essentially helping to fund these inhumane practices.

Additionally, many of these companies claim that they do not test on animals “unless required by federal or local regulators,” meaning the company has sacrificed their ethics in order to sell their products in other countries and increase their profits.

Big Corporations Who Test On Animals

Most of these brands are owned by a few giant corporations: L’Oreal, Estee Lauder, Procter & Gamble, Clorox, Johnson & Johnson, S.C. Johnson, Colgate-Palmolive, Reckitt Benckiser, Church & Dwight, Unilever, and Henkel.

These companies own the majority of the brands we commonly find in most retailer stores and drugstores, and they’re making no real efforts to change their unethical policies.

There are however two exceptions, the first one being Colgate-Palmolive, which have agreed to gradually change their policy. PETA currently lists Colgate-Palmolive as “working toward regulatory changes to reduce the number of animals used for testing”. This does NOT mean the company is or will be cruelty-free in the near future! It’s only a small step in the right direction, and the company still DOES test on animals at this point.

The second exception consists of a few select brands. While in most cases, brands that are owned by companies that test on animals are not cruelty-free, L’Oreal is one of the few companies to own brands that have kept their ethical stances and have remained cruelty-free under the ownership. The same goes for Too Faced and Becca (now owned by Estee Lauder but still cruelty-free) and Tom’s of Maine (Colgate-Palmolive). All the brands mentioned on this list, however, do test on animals.

Non-Cruelty-Free Brands A-Z

Please note that this list is not exhaustive. This list only includes companies that claimed they test on animals at some point, or sell in China; there are many other companies who remained silent about their animal testing policy.
