Were you aware that many of the world’s most popular brands test on animals? Before researching this post, I honestly didn’t know that my favorite go-to brands continued this barbaric practice.
It further shocked me to discover almost 700 brands on the list. It is frankly baffling. We have Siri and Alexa to do our bidding, yet companies are still unnecessarily testing on animals.
I find that to be utter bullsh*t!
This list of companies that test on animals was created to make you aware of the brands you should avoid.

How Do Brands Make The Rambling Gemini Bad List?
For a company to be added to this list then they have met one of the following criteria:
- The product or ingredients were tested on animals
- The company authorized a third-party to test the product or ingredients on their behalf.
- The company’s products are sold in a country where animal testing is required.

Choose to Be Cruelty-Free
Let’s be clear…
This list of companies that test on animals is not exhaustive. I’m constantly researching brands and unfortunately, there are plenty more bad to add to this list.
To be honest, I have some of these brands in my home right now. But I don’t plan on throwing them away.
Transitioning to a cruelty-free lifestyle is a gradual change. There’s no point in throwing away products you’ve already paid for. Just start researching cruelty-free options to replace the bad.
