Coty’s Animal Testing Policy

Coty’s animal testing policy can be found in the FAQ section of their website. Here is an excerpt:

“At Coty, we do not test our products on animals and are committed to ending animal testing across our industry.

All our products are safe and have been developed, manufactured and packaged in compliance with the laws, regulations and guidelines that are applicable in each country in which they are sold.

Coty’s human safety experts review our ingredients, as well as the finished products, by applying the best science, based on the use of recognized alternatives to animal testing, existing safety data and, increasingly, the sharing of such data with other parties and industries.

Some governments or agencies stipulate the testing of finished products on animals in accordance with local legal and regulatory requirements. An example is China, where we continue to be involved in the dialogue with the Chinese authorities, including through our active membership of industry groups, to find alternatives to their use of animal testing.”

Wrap Up: Is Coty Cruelty-Free?

No, Coty is not a cruelty-free cosmetics company. In their animal testing policy, they state they do not test on animals. However, Coty chooses to sell in China, a country that requires imported cosmetics to be tested on animals.

Therefore, Coty is not considered to be cruelty-free and will be added to my list of brands that test on animals.
