Do you go out of your way to read the labels on your
favorite beauty items to ensure that they are not tested on animals? If so, did
you know that even though a company claims to enact humane standards in the US
they may not follow those standards in another country. In fact, China legally
requires beauty brands to test on animals if they want to sell those products
in the country. Yes, testing beauty products on animals is a requirement in
China. I don’t know about you but I can’t remember when the last time my dog
borrowed my lipstick or my bunny used my body wash. Brands such as Yves Rocher,
Mary Kay, and L’Occitane have decided to go against their initial cruelty-free
stance in order to achieve global sales and sell their products in China. Quite
pathetic if you ask me.
