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

Clé de Peau Beauté is owned by Shiseido, whose policy says it stopped animal testing in 2013 except when governments or regulators require it, so it tests where the law requires it. It isn't certified by Leaping Bunny / Cruelty Free International or PETA. Some products contain animal derivatives such as lanolin.

Does Clé de Peau Beauté test on animals?

Yes, or it sells where animal testing is required. Clé de Peau Beauté is owned by Shiseido. The sources are below. See every company that tests on animals.

a vegan label here doesn't make it cruelty-free. Clé de Peau Beauté 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.
