Does SkinMedica test on animals?
SkinMedica says it doesn't test on animals, but it isn't certified, so nobody independent has checked. What it says is below.
What they say: Its owner says: "Allergan Aesthetics does not conduct testing on animals for its cosmetic skin care products."
What that means: SkinMedica isn't certified by Leaping Bunny / Cruelty Free International or PETA yet, so nobody independent has checked this. Plenty of honest brands haven't applied, and some products, like paper goods, don't fit the main schemes well. It's the brand's word, so the choice is yours.
