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

Owned by Karo Healthcare, which says it doesn't test on animals unless regulatory authorities require it. That means it can still test on animals where required, so E45 isn't cruelty-free. E45 isn't certified by Leaping Bunny / Cruelty Free International or PETA.
