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

Majority-owned by Puig, and has its own shops in mainland China. Puig's policy says China requires animal testing for some cosmetics and that it avoids this only 'when possible'. Byredo has no animal testing statement of its own and isn't certified.

Does Byredo test on animals?

Yes, or it sells where animal testing is required. Byredo is owned by Puig. The sources are below. See every company that tests on animals.

a vegan label here doesn't make it cruelty-free. Byredo isn't on the cruelty-free list because of the company's wider testing policy, not because of what's in any one product. Buying a vegan-labelled item from them still puts money behind a company that tests on animals elsewhere in its business.
