Icky Institutions: Estee Lauder is a let-down

Hi all:

So after posting a few Estee Lauder products on here, having believed for a while now that they were pioneers in the anti-animal testing force, I found out that they, like other big cosmetics giants, are just as bad as their peers. On the Estee Lauder official website it reads:


Animal Testing

The Estée Lauder Companies Inc. is committed to the elimination of animal testing. We are equally committed to consumer health and safety, and bringing to market products that comply with applicable regulations in every country in which our products are sold. We do not conduct animal testing on our products or ingredients, nor ask others to test on our behalf, except when required by law. We evaluate our finished products in clinical tests on volunteer panels.
The Estée Lauder Companies fully supports the development and global acceptance of non-animal testing alternatives. To this end, the Company works extensively with the industry at large and the global scientific community to research and fund these alternatives.


For this reason, the Estee Lauder and Estee Lauder owned (see below for full list of Estee Lauder brands) products that were posted on this site will be removed shortly. Please join in expressing your disdain for this behaviour to Estee Lauder by emailing them from their website.


You don't have to be cruel to be kind,
