Thank you for such an informative post! However, I am curious how a brand can test on animals (Neutrogena) and then put not tested on animals on their Neutrogena Naturals products: It’s not mentioned on their other products. My mother-in-law uses their products and mentioned it to me. That’s such false advertising! How can the same company test on one and not the other? Ergh. I long for the day when society wakes up and realizes how unnecessary animal testing truly is.

I don’t understand why brands can’t just be honest. If testing on animals makes them uncomfortable, then maybe they shouldn’t do it.
I just read a post on http://www.phyrra.net, where she called Batiste to find out about their animal testing policy, and they refused to tell her which countries they sold in. That’s just ridiculous.
I tend to take the line that if a company is unclear or unwilling to clarify, that they are probably testing on animals.

In reply to Amy. I still ask that they submit the documents and answer the questions to be listed on LH. :)

If a brand is PETA or Leaping bunny certified do you accept that or still want them to answer/fill out your questions? This stuff is very confusing and I appreciate this article. Thanks

In reply to Emily. The process to be listed on Logical Harmony is more than just a handful of questions. We require paperwork and various verifications. Could brands forge these documents? Maybe. But, it seems like an awful lot of work to do.

Hi Tashina,

My question is – what stops companies from lying to you? Couldn’t they just do the same thing they do in their FAQ’s to you?

Thanks,
Emily

Thank you for yet another insanely informative and helpful post, Tashina! This has really got me thinking and confused though, seeing as I have previously got in touch with a couple brands myself, in order to try to figure out if purchasing their products would be a wise and compassionate idea.
Anyway, in saying that, what I would like to ask you is what your opinion of H&M is and if them stating that they do not test on animals is reliable? Also, do you know anything about the policies of other “mainstream” chains/ brands such as urban outfitters, newlook, topshop, etc?
