Tests, or sells where required

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

Laura Mercier's own FAQ says it doesn't test on animals or ask others to, "except where required by law", so it tests where the law requires it. It isn't certified by Leaping Bunny / Cruelty Free International or PETA. Some products contain lanolin and beeswax, so it isn't fully vegan. Owned by Orveon.

Does Laura Mercier test on animals?

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

a vegan label here doesn't make it cruelty-free. Laura Mercier 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.
