Tests on animals, or sells where it's required.

Blistex's own policy says it doesn't test on animals 'except in the rare instance where foreign governments require it', so it allows testing where the law requires it. Family-owned (Blistex Inc.). Not certified, and its medicated lip balm isn't vegan.
