Animal Testing is defined by Vegan Action as the use of animals (live or deceased) for any type of research purposes whatsoever to include environmental safety, feed or nutrition trials, toxicity testing, or animal tests or trials “as required by law” including contracted testing by another company, since the year 2009 and will not be tested on animals in the future. This must be confirmed for individual ingredients, ingredient components, as well as the final product.*

We do NOT allow products sold to or distributed to China that bear the Certified Vegan Logo if they are required to be animal tested. Personal care products and cosmetics made outside of mainland China are still subject to animal testing unless the company can show “acceptable safety”.  These products would require confirmation that animal testing was not required in order to sell Certified Vegan products in China.
