Animal Testing and Hair Products

I was recently searching the PETA website and noticed that MANY hair companies are on the list for testing on animals. I was really surprised that this much animal testing still goes on. I guess I was naive to think that most beauty companies no longer test on animals.

This is just a SMALL portion of the companies listed. For a complete list got to the Peta site HERE

According to the PETA website these companies are on the animal testing list for the following reasons:
This section includes both companies that manufacture animal-tested products and brands that are owned by companies that have not yet adopted a permanent "no animal testing" policy. Please encourage them to announce a permanent ban. Listed in parentheses are examples of products manufactured by either the company listed or, if applicable, its parent company. For a complete listing of products manufactured by a company on this list, please visit the company's Web site or contact the company directly for more information. Companies on this list might manufacture individual lines of products without animal testing (e.g., Clairol claims that its Herbal Essences line is not animal-tested). They have not, however, eliminated animal testing from all their cosmetics and household-product lines.


Similarly, companies on this list might make some products, such as pharmaceuticals, that are required by law to be tested on animals. However, these companies are not included on this list because of the animal testing that is required by law. They are included because they conduct animal tests (of personal-care and household products) that are not required by law.
