What year is this article dated? Is it still valid in 2023?

I wish I had known this just A few hours ago, I have purchased Phoera foundation. Needless to say after finding out they are no longer cruelty free I will never buy from them again.

In reply to mati. Sadly, they are still not cruelty-free. They actively sell in China and pay for animal testing on their products. :(

Are you sure? I recently started working at Sephora, and I’m of the understanding that, since re-vamping their formulas last October, they are now cruelty free.

I am sad to learn that yet another company caves in and continues to test on animals! It is not necessary! There are plenty of criminals getting a FREE Ride in prison… start testing on them !!!

Although I find this terribly disappointing I can’t say I’m surprised. Sephora has always come off as being sketchy to me. I always avoided their brands because I secretly suspected that there was animal testing involved all along. On a side note, I find it strange that their Chinese website is selling the products in Yen. Does this mean it gets shipped out of Japan?

I’m bummed to hear this, even though I don’t currently use or lemm for any products from this brand.

you’re welcome and thank you for further investigating this.

This is a bit tricky because Sephora was never big on advertising if their name products were cruelty free or not so not many people will know to boycott. It is overall very disgusting.

I want a law to be passed that requires cosmetic companies to announce if they will begin animal testing or not. I hate unknowingly purchasing a product like I did 3 days ago only to announce that it is now not cruelty free. It’s like tricking someone into eating something that was tofu but now meat. It violates moral beliefs. Ughh! I feel sick inside thinking about how horrible 2012 was for animals.

I just sent them the following message:

I am beyond disappointed to hear that you chose to enter the market in China and now test your products on animals. Your official stance may say that you are against animal testing except where required by law, but you can choose not to operate in countries that require this atrocity. If you were against animal testing, then you would CHOOSE not to operate in China. Not only will I not be buying Sephora Collection or Sephora Original products in the future, but I will not frequent any of your shops or your website for any of my future cosmetics and skincare purchases.

As we tweeted about this possibility last night, I was feeling sick about it. So terrible that it is true.

This is really sad. I can’t understanding why companies are doing this… I thought China was rapidly working to change their policies. Maybe that’s not true, but if it is, why could a company not wait just a few months to SAVE LIVES?

I saw the tweets yesterday and really hoped that it wasn’t true. Thanks for posting this and to the people who discovered this.
