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

Softsoap tests on animals. Its website doesn't mention animal testing, so it takes its owner's position. Owned by Colgate-Palmolive. It isn't certified by Leaping Bunny / Cruelty Free International or PETA, and not all of its products are vegan.

Does Softsoap test on animals?

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

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