In reply to Nicki Cherney. I think that for this, you would need to talk to each brand individually to find out where their ingredients are sourced and what their practices are. While a lot of products are made in China, that doesn't necessarily mean that the ingredients are being sourced from places there. Brands source from all over the world, so this would really vary from brand to brand.

I was saddened to read some of my cruelty free make up brands with the “Made in China” label and while understand the technicality of the products not subject to the same animal testing laws it bothers me to know that the company is still more concerned with profit as manufacturing in China equals much cheaper labor.

What I don’t feel comfortable with is not rally knowing where and how the ingredients are being handled. Are they sourced there? Do the ingredients go through the same testing as US laws? I know it sounds dd but i just feel weird putting it on my skin knowing its coming from China, I am very skeptical if the quality of goods would be same as if coming from North America or EU.

Do you know more details on this?

Well by having any products that are made in China – is still contributing to the problem of harming animals. If we continue to purchase products including cosmetics made in China and the animal testing is government mandated- we are not helping to end this horrible practice. It’s sad. I wish there were more cosmetics made in America that are totally Cruelty Free :(((

In reply to Tashina Combs. Thank you for the update! I totally misread that news... but it's good to know that things can change in China fairly quickly, and hopefully animal rights become more important there.

Sadly, they are not going to stop animal testing. There may be some changes made to the law, but it’s not going to effect very many brands. To find out more, I would suggest reading these three posts –

I heard recently that China will stop requiring animal testing as of Summer 2014… since you’re really my authority on this subject, do you know if this is true?
