Not certified either way, yet.
Paper Mate's own FAQ says every effort is made to avoid animal testing and that it encourages its direct suppliers to avoid it too, but it doesn't say it never tests, and it isn't certified by Leaping Bunny / Cruelty Free International or PETA. Owned by Newell Brands.
🔍 parent company's testing policy is also unverified
