A brand in the grey area does not necessarily test on animals. Grey Areaīrands in the grey area either didn't provide enough information regarding their animal testing policy, were unresponsive after several attempts to contact them, or use loopholes to sell in markets that require animal testing. Please note that these are just some of the brands that test on animals, and this list isn't exhaustive. Often, these brands are sold in markets which require animal testing. This means that their finished products or ingredients are tested on animals, either by the company itself, its suppliers, or a third party. These brands are not considered cruelty-free according to our standards. We also ensure that these brands are not available for sale in stories in markets which require animal testing. This applies not only to finished products but also to ingredients.

It means that the company either didn't provide enough information, or we have no reason to believe that their products are completely cruelty-free. If you see a purple "GA" symbol, this stands for "grey area". Once they respond with enough information, we're able to categorize the brands as either being cruelty-free, not cruelty-free, or in the grey area.Ī green "CF" symbol means the brand is cruelty-free, and a pink "NCF" symbol means the brand is NOT cruelty-free.
