Despite growing awareness and the rise of cruelty-free alternatives, many everyday products are still tested on animals like mice, rabbits, and guinea pigs. Animal testing assesses ingredient safety, checking for allergic reactions and toxicity. Critics argue that it's unnecessary due to advancements in alternative methods that can provide more accurate results without harming animals, as well as the existence of safe ingredients that don't require testing.
Some companies continue testing to meet regulatory standards in countries like China, making it essential to read up on the brand for ethical practices. To find out if brands test on animals, online resources provide comprehensive lists of both those that engage in animal testing and those that are cruelty-free, helping consumers make informed choices.
So click on to see common products that are still tested on animals.
