2021, which means there is absolutely no need for us to be
torturing the animals for our vanity. If brands are still not
becoming cruelty free, you should stay steer clear of
them. With the advancement of technology in testing
products with better accuracy, brands need to change
policies and leave the animals alone.
Garnier did that. It is officially the biggest drugstore brand
that is cruelty-free. It went through a thorough test from
the Leaping Bunny and got approved after 2 years.
Garnier will be regularly audited to maintain their crueltyfree status.
A lot of the brands that are PETA certified sell in Mainland
China, where it is mandatory to test on animals. Such
brands are NOT cruelty free. Even though they are not
testing on animals themselves, they are still paying for
animal testing to be able to market in China.
A few years ago, Garnier had their products being sold in
China, but now they have pulled off all of their stores and
no longer sell there. None of their products are sold in
Mainland China hence, they are not tested on animals.
HOWEVER, here is the catch, it is owned by L’Oreal which
is NOT a cruelty free company and tests on animals
whenever required by the law. All the other brands
owned by L’Oreal do. And all of them are also sold in
China. Surprise, surprise!
