In reply to Susan Stein. So there are changes going into effect, but so far they don't impact any brands.

I thought the new Chinese regulations on “non-special cosmetics” just went into effect starting in 2021. I may be wrong. It’s all rather confusing.

Totally angered! I was a big wnw user with several of their products. And I will no longer be supporting animal testing.

In reply to Anisa. As explained in the post, I don't believe so. Animal testing is still a risk and the brand does admit to this.

Peta just released a statement that says that wnw is still cruelty free while still being able to sell in china because of a certian policy. Is this “policy” really making wnw cruelty free and able to sell in china? Thanks for all the hard wprk you do to keep us informed! ??

I am straight devastated. Too Faced was the first blow. Wet n Wild was the finishing strike. Most of my makeup is WNW. It’s affordable and readily available and I have a huge collection. Their liquid liner was a holy grail product for me. I have purchased several PR box collections. Absolutely heartbreaking.

In reply to Camille. While there are ways to avoid pre-market animal testing, post-market animal testing cannot be avoided at this time. The brands still enter the market knowing animal testing is a possibility. And, based on the dates given by Wet n Wild, they entered the market in China when post-market testing laws were more rigid.

Hi Tashina, thank you so much for your research and update on this! I’m wondering if Wet n wild will be included in your “Brands to Avoid” list?

Thank you so much for this article! I have always bought Wet n Wild finger nail polish. I didn’t realize they are no longer cruelty free. Thank you for letting us know so I can stop purchasing their products!

In reply to Tashina Combs. Dear Radhika: Thanks for clarifying this. It is pretty heartbreaking. I really liked Wet and Wild. I hope ELF and Essence stay cruelty free. My favorite is Flower Beauty. It is more money but I love it. Milani is also good. Thanks again. Hug your cats!

Hi Tashina,
I just heard from another website that products manufactured directly in chinese mainland plants do not need animal testing, and that maybe that is what WnW has been doing to sell there while remaining cruelty free. Could this be true ?

In reply to Chrystal. Oh, I won't Chrystal! It's just taking time to get to everything where they are mentioned.

In reply to Vanessa. You're welcome, Vanessa. I wanted this piece to be helpful because it really isn't a black & white situation and it can be really hard to navigate and understand.

Hey Tashina,
Thank you so much for all the work you put into this, and for being such an incredible source of cruelty-free education. Thank you for shedding light on animal testing laws and other things most of us know nothing about. Thank you for being so concise and answering all the questions most of us don’t know how to ask. Keep up the amazing work!
