Hi I read your article and looked into the graph that you made on the Cruelty-free or non-Cruelty-free China route, I believe it’s not 100% required for the animal test if a foreign brand going into China, and I believe the certifications are not that hard to get since AEPSOS and other vegan brands are also sold here in China, it’s more of a matter if the brand choose to be or not. I will ask the brand for their comments and make it an awareness tomorrow. Good article.

I was planning of buying some La Mer products but after reading this, I changed my mind and won’t be buying any of their products. Instead I’ll be checking some of the brands you recommended.

In reply to Anyelis Cardona.

Hey Anyelis,

We define the term “cruelty-free” as no animal testing. So, May Lindstrom does NOT test on animals. And we define the term “vegan” as no animal-derived ingredients or by-products. So, although NOT all of May Lindstrom products are considered vegan, they do have SOME vegan options and they do NOT test on animals.

If you wish to only support and buy from 100% vegan and cruelty-free brands, I have a full list of those brands here: https://ethicalelephant.com/vegan-makeup-skincare-brands/

I’m very sad to hear that La Mer does not have a drawn in the sand line on animal testing. From what I understand from the posting of La Mer and Estee Lauder which owns La Mer, in regards to their stance on animal testing, they will adhere to the authorities requirements in order to sell products in the respective countries. China for example requires animal testing – therefore La Mer, this beautiful product submits animals to testing, to sell their products there., I understand it is all about profits. . I have used La Mer for many years, and I feel very bad about that now. I will discontinue use of this product and will try the ones you suggest above.. i will also ensure that the people I know who are using this product are made aware of it. I am one voice, however times are changing thank god, and people don’t want this kind of abuse in the name of beauty.
