I would like to know this to! All of my underwear is Victoria Secret!

Pink is part of limited brands as it is a baby store to Victorias secret. L brand includes PINK, Bath and Body Works, Victoria’s Secret, La Senza and Henri Bendel.

They are a sub-line within Victoria’s Secret. They are also tested on animals. 🙁

Hi Francesca,

The changes to China’s animal testing laws were very minimal and did not impact international brands. You can find out more by reading – China Takes First Step Towards Ending Animal Testing and Updates on China’s Potential Change in Animal Testing Laws.

While it’s true that Limited Brands does not test or have any of their manufacturers or suppliers test, they do submit products to required by law animal testing. The full animal testing stance can be found here – http://www.lb.com/responsibility/product_info/Policies.aspx Several months ago when I spoke to the head of PR at Limited Brands about Bath & Body Works I was told that contracts and papers had already been signed to move Victoria’s Secret into the market in China. Animal testing is required by law there and they acknowledged that they were aware of this policy and would be agreeing to any animal testing asked of them. 🙁

Karen: Limited Brands, Inc., does not test its products on animals, nor does it request any of our third-party manufacturers, or anyone else, to perform such tests on its behalf. We utilize ingredients in our formulations that are judged safe, and we do not ask the supplier of those ingredients to perform any such tests on animals. Limited Brands, Inc., does not use any animal byproducts in its formulations where the animal is either slaughtered or harmed for the sole purpose of obtaining that material. We do condone the use of animal-derived products where the animal is not harmed; for example, lanolin, milk, eggs, etc. Again, in keeping with our philosophy regarding the welfare of animals, Limited Brands, Inc., does not conduct animal testing, nor does it request suppliers to test on animals.

VC is not vegan but they don’t test on animals.

Any company that sells in china is required to do animal testing. That is the main reason why VS is no longer cruelty free. They pay a 3rd party to do it for them.

Hi Meg,

Sadly, there are laws that do require animal testing. It could be on specific ingredients or on finished products. They exist in many countries around the world. It’s really sad.
