Im a little confused when I see "none of our FINISHED products are tested on animals". I hear it on nearly every product. What is a finished product? Does that mean they are tested on animals before they release it (which in the end is bl**dy pointless)? angry

Can anyone in the know read between the legal jargon lines and clarify this for us please?

Thankyou! happy

I would say for the most part it's PR fluff. They probably test all the ingredients individually on animals, or even larger components, but not the finished product itself. Try to choose truly cruelty free brands when you can. There is an App called Shop Ethical which gives a basic run down on products and companies to assist in making ethical choices. Hope that helps happy

Totally PR fluff. Basically just means that the ingredients are tested on animals while the end product isn't. Bit BS.

Another thing to look out for are companies that sell to China. See here:

Fluff. If they say none of the finished products are tested on animals, that means that whatever they tested that goes INTO the final product was probably tested on animals.
