Do Covergirl or Maybelline test on animals??

Question

On the covergirl site it says: "P&G, maker of CoverGirl cosmetics, does not test beauty products on animals; nor do we ask suppliers to test them on our behalf. We do not test beauty ingredients on animals, except in rare cases when needed to meet regulatory or safety obligations." so does that mean they don't test most products on animals??

I looked on the Maybelline website and found nothing about animal testing. I just bought some mascara from maybelline and now I am not sure if I want to use it. What do you think??

Answer 1

 If you are buying a product from a company that tests on animals, you are funding animal testing. For example, P&G may not test mascara on animals, but P&G will test Tide Detergent on animals. Therefore, since they are all the same company, all the money goes in the same bank, you are giving your hard-earned money to animal-testers.

Answer 2

I'm thinking that most make up companies DO use animal testing, but there is no way to know for sure unless you happen to work in the labratory.
