Does Listerine test on animals?

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

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