Says it's cruelty-free. Not certified yet.
Augustinus Bader's own help centre says its products have never been tested on animals, but it isn't certified by Leaping Bunny / Cruelty Free International or PETA, so this is the brand's word only. Its ethics page says it sells in mainland China through the CSAR registration process, which it says exempts it from animal testing. It says 99% of its products are vegan; beeswax and lanolin are used in 2 of its 46 products.
