Does Bath and Body Works test on animals?

Question

I was looking closely at the products and they say "This final product is not tested on animals" Does that then mean anything before that was tested on animals...I just want to be sure. I do not want to support a company that does that...

Answer 1

I noticed that on my products from Bath and Body works as well. I'm pretty sure they mean that They don't test their products on animals. I can understand your question about that because I dont by anything that has ben tested on animals. =)

Answer 2

My mom worked at Bath & Body Works for about 3 years, and since I am a vegetarian I made her look into the whole animal testing thing. Turns out that not only does Bath & Body Works not test on animals, they also don't use any animal products in their items. The label you read does not mean that anything before that was tested on animals. The only reason they have that is because they sell their stuff in both the UK and U.S., and that label was necessary in order to be sold in the UK. Anyways Bath & Body Works refuses to participate in cruel and unnecessary animal tests. They are 100% vegan and their products are amazing, might I add :D

Answer 3

i  buy stuff in bath and body works but they are not tested on animalls maybe they mean by that final product was not tested on animals the ones made before was not tested on animals they just mean that the product is was not tested on animals so plese keep buying stuff there people there are really nice if this idea does not work do not get mad i am just a little girl :) i am 9 years old.

Answer 4

It just means that the product itself was not tested on animals, but the ingredients may have been.  And to make things even stickier, BBW may not have commissioned the tests on the ingredients themselves but are using ingredients that someone else proved safe through testing; I don't know.

And BBW DOES use animal ingredients--they have or had a line with silk protein, and some of their lotions contain milk ingredients.  Their lip balms have beeswax.

Lush has a very strict policy against animal testing and will not even use ingredients that have been tested on animals.
