In reply to Danielle.

I just checked Maybelline’s FAQ Page (https://www.maybelline.ca/en-ca/faq) and it still says from what I see:

“Animal Testing Policy

Thank you for your interest in Maybelline, a brand of L’Oréal USA, Inc.

L’Oréal no longer tests any of its products or any of its ingredients on animals, anywhere in the world nor does L’Oréal delegate this task to others. An exception could only be made if regulatory authorities demanded it for safety or regulatory purposes.

For complete information on this subject, please click here.”

Even if regulatory laws in other countries choose to test on animals, the FAQ section HAS been updated since 2015, and it is bad journalism or reporting, or simply lazy to copy and paste information from a previous article, rather than going and finding the most current, updated and accurate information available. This makes all of us who do our best to be cruelty-free and/or vegan appear to be angry and rigid and, above all, too lazy to properly research. I’m incredibly disappointed with your post.

Someone didn’t do their due diligence…?

FROM THEIR WEBSITE FAQs:

L’Oréal does not test any of its products or any of its ingredients on animals
Our consumers’ health and safety have always been an absolute priority for L’Oréal. As is the support of animal welfare. L’Oréal does not test any of its products or any of its ingredients on animals and has been at the forefront of alternative methods for over 30 years.

L’Oréal has developed a very rigorous safety evaluation procedure of its products, backed by Research.
Well before the question of animal testing was raised by civil society or within a regulatory framework, L’Oréal has been committed to new methods of assessing safety that don’t involve animals.
A true pioneer, L’Oréal has been reconstructing human skin models in laboratories to elaborate in vitro safety tests since 1979, as an alternative to animals. Since then, L’Oréal has an Episkin center in Lyon (France) Shanghai (China), and Brazil where reconstructed skins are produced.
In addition to skin models, L’Oréal has a large number of non-animal predictive assessment tools, such as molecular modeling, expert toxicology systems, imaging techniques and many more.

L’Oréal has been at the forefront of alternative methods for over 30 years
In 1989, L’Oréal completely ceased testing its products on animals, 14 years before it was required by regulation. Today, L’Oréal no longer tests its ingredients on animals. L’Oréal no longer tolerates any exception to this rule.

Certain health authorities may nevertheless decide to conduct animal tests themselves for certain cosmetic products, as it is still the case in China. L’Oréal is the most active company working alongside the Chinese authorities and scientists for over 10 years to have alternative testing methods recognized, and permit the cosmetic regulation to evolve towards a total and definite elimination of animal testing. Thanks to this, since 2014, certain products manufactured and sold in China like shampoo, body wash or certain make-up products are no longer tested on animals.

I am deeply disturbed that in the year 2020, so many cosmetic companies STILL test on animals. With all the knowledge we now have about toxins, carcinogens, etc., I find it unfathomable. I stopped using products tested on animals years ago. Why am I so upset? When talking with others about cosmetics, I invariably get a response like “I’m not giving up my MAC makeup. It’s the best.” And, of course MAC is one of hundreds of brands that still follow this barbaric practice. What should we do? I feel that a majority of consumers prefer to turn a blind eye to what goes on. I might be able to convince a few to purchase only cruelty-free, but until it becomes required across the board to ban animal testing, my hands are tied. I wish we could put a bill before Congress.

Yesssh, can’t believe I have their mascara in my drawer! Tossing it in the garbage where it belongs never to buy that brand again. Animal testing is cruel and ineffective as animals have ONE skin type and these companies only test so as not to be sued! Investing in clean beauty products now and for the future for body and home which have healthy ingredients and not a bunch of chemicals! Younger generation needs to stand up against big industry and stop buying products that are harsh enough to have to be tested on animals. Harsh enough to run cruel tests on animals, waaaaaay too harsh for my skin! My whole house is going chemical free and cruelty free!

So disappointed, will not be using any of their products. There is evidence where rabbits have been tested, and while “nothing happened to them” – people came out with reactions, maybe because, ahem RABBITS ARE NOT HUMANS.

THERE IS NO RATIONAL FOR TESTING ANIMALS. China won’t even treat its people right – SO WHY WOULD THEY CONSIDER VOICELESS INNOCENT CREATURES

ALL ABOUT THE BUSINESS – NO ETHICS- I’M DONE

In reply to Vicky Ly. Its so sad that L'Oréal had now purchased Urban Decay and NYX.Cruelty free brands are selling out and I think its disgusting.why don't they test the makeup on criminals in prison that rape and kill.Humans can be so disappointing. My heart broke when these two beams sold out.Lit cosmetics have now also being purchased.
