This company 15 years ago was all about no animal testing. There old packages said “how could anyone?”. The new packaging says nothing. I will never use there product again regardless if they’re cruelty free.

In reply to Erica.

Hi Erica!

I don’t believe that testing on animals is a cultural issue. Animal testing has long been shown to not be a reliable method of testing the safety of products. The Chinese government has access to in vitro tests that are funded for them by organizations in the US and Europe. These tests are not only more effective at predicting if the product could harm humans, but are also more cost effective. This is something that many are actively trying to assist with. Being concerned for the safety of your residents is something all governments are concerned with worldwide.

Brands that enter the market are not the ones contributing to these changes. They are just entering a market where they see a potential to make money. If a brand is willing to change their stance on animal testing to make more money, they clearly do not have a strong background in cruelty free cosmetics and are just about doing what gets them more revenue.

I get it but how do you expect change to happen if companies with a strong cruelty-free background don’t get into that market and help foster healthy dialogue and educate others. Let’s be fair, China’s view on testing (and animals in general), much like most of Asia, is not out of malice but rather it’s cultural. Our culture had a careless view of African Americans in our country not that long ago. How can you expect China to change if every cruelty-free brand just stays out of such a huge market. Just saying.

i will NOT be supporting Urban Decay either . i am super turned off and disturbed by the “flipping ” back and forth. Not to mention the fact that L’Oreal bought them.

I’m uncomfortable with this and I will not purchase anything from UD simply because I don’t trust L’Oreal.

UD was on my list of brands to try but now that they are owned by a company like L’Oreal I am completely put off from even bothering. In the past I’ve used brands that suddenly flipped to the dark side + honestly it stung quite a bit.
