This giant of the cosmetics market has unfortunately bought a lot of brands. As BodyShop , Urban Decay or NYX. We all know that L'Oréal has always practiced the animal tests, but apparently, according to them, they stopped this practice in 2013.
Can we believe them?
" ... since the 1980s, L’Oréal believes that the future of safety evaluation lies in the development of alternative, “predictive” strategies. This approach is built on the substantial scientific progress being made in the fields of reconstructed skin models, molecular modeling and also high-performance data processing.

PETA also argues that the brands displayed on my blog ( Body Shop and Nyx ) do not conduct animal testing. But the problem remains the same: The giant who rules over them.
Unfortunately I did not find any article concerning the stopping of animal tests by L'Oréal on the official website of PETA.
So the only solution is trust. You can be sure that the brands listed here are cruelty-free but it is your choice.
