That has become easier in the last couple of years but it’s still not easy. They have to jump through hoops in order to avoid PRE-market testing. I want to be VERY clear that I am NOT saying all brands that sell in China are cruelty-free. So, are all brands that sell in China cruelty-free? Even though we’ve previously thought of certain brands as “bad” (like CoverGirl, for example, which is now Leaping Bunny certified), we have to appreciate when they actually listen to us and change their ways. I know it’s hard when you’ve held a belief for a long time and then new information challenges your perception. I have no agenda here – I am just trying to sort through all of the spin and opinions and get down to the facts I realize this is a touchy subject and hotly debated in the cruelty-free community. The Leaping Bunny pilot program brands (like Bulldog Skincare) were already on my “good” list. So if post-market testing is unlikely (and also possible in any country), that means several PETA-approved brands such as First Aid Beauty, Wet n Wild, Physicians Formula and others are going back on my cruelty-free list. It seems that a lot of animal testing is being done at the ingredient level (by ingredient suppliers – not by brands themselves), and it is often mandated by national governments (more on that below). I can tell you that there are a lot of loopholes and non-cruelty-free brands are still sold here in California. So if you are avoiding a brand because they may be subject to post-market testing in China, you would also have to avoid any brand sold in the US or EU (or any country) because they may also be subject to post-market testing by regulators, authorities or academia (who are generally exempt from any animal testing bans).Īnd by the way, the US does NOT have a ban on animal testing yet! There are some bans in certain states (like California) but without a national ban, I think all that really does is set a good precedent for future laws. After researching for several months I now believe that the risk of post-market animal testing in China is low-risk, but not much different from the US or the EU (which is to say very low but possible in ANY country). I think First Aid Beauty, Physicians Formula, Wet N Wild and several other brands who sell in China ARE cruelty-free after all… What’s the deal with post-market testing? But, based on the information I have now, I now believe that some beauty brands that sell in China are cruelty-free.īased on my talks with nonprofits, brands and consultants in China (see resources at the end of this post), I now believe that post-market testing in China is very unlikely, and furthermore it’s possible that it could happen in the US or ANY country (although not likely). This may be an unpopular opinion because several voices in the cruelty-free community disagree. I am here to say that I believe I was wrong about post-market testing in China. Plus, this 100% cruelty-free brand is PETA-certified, so you can apply your First Aid Beauty creams with peace of mind.This is a really difficult post to write.
