Frequently asked questions

Is cosmetics animal testing banned?
It is banned or restricted in the EU, UK, India and a growing list of jurisdictions, but remains legal or required in some markets.
What does cruelty-free actually certify?
It depends on the certifier. Look for third-party schemes with supply-chain audits rather than self-declared claims.
