Says it's cruelty-free. Not certified yet.
Carex has no listing of its own with PETA or Leaping Bunny / Cruelty Free International, so its cruelty-free status isn't verified. Its owner, PZ Cussons, says it is against all forms of animal testing, and PETA lists PZ Cussons as cruelty-free, but that listing doesn't name Carex. Owned by PZ Cussons.
🔍 parent company's testing policy is also unverified
Does Carex test on animals?
Carex says it doesn't test on animals, but it isn't certified, so nobody independent has checked. What it says is below.
What they say: Its owner, PZ Cussons, says: "We are against all forms of animal testing in the development or marketing of our products. We do not test ingredients on animals."
What that means: Carex isn't certified by Leaping Bunny / Cruelty Free International or PETA yet, so nobody independent has checked this. Plenty of honest brands haven't applied, and some products, like paper goods, don't fit the main schemes well. It's the brand's word, so the choice is yours.
