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

KATE Tokyo is a Kanebo Cosmetics makeup brand, part of Kao. Kao's own policy says it doesn't test cosmetics on animals, except when government agencies in particular countries require it or where it needs to show a product's safety to meet 'societal expectations', so it tests where the law requires it. It isn't certified by Leaping Bunny / Cruelty Free International or PETA.
