They tell us that they don’t use the claim “cruelty-free” on their products because their products are tested on animals in China. They mention that they invest in cruelty-free research, however they don’t directly mention that they willingly pay for their products to be tested on animals in China.

Here’s a screenshot of the page (click the image to view full size):Īt first glance, this page is very misleading. It starts with a bold headline - Is Olay Skin Care Cruelty-Free? - following by 5 Facts About Olay’s Push for Cruelty-Free Skin Care in the Industry. When we click it, we’re directed to a page featuring much more than Olay’s animal testing policy. On Olay’s official website, at the very bottom of the page, we find a link titled “Cruelty-Free”. Others choose the online route, which bypasses any mandatory animal testing. Many cruelty-free brands decide not to sell products in stores in mainland China in order to remain cruelty-free. Since, as Olay claims, they were aware that their products would be tested on animals when entering the Chinese market, Olay could have made the decision not to enter the market at all. However, the decision to sell in China is entirely up to the brand. In those cases, Olay can be required by law to submit our products to labs where we know animal tests are happening.”īy phrasing it this way, Olay is trying to convey that they have no choice in the animal testing.
Their statement is: “In a few countries where Olay is sold, governments still mandate animal tests. Later in the policy, they admit that they’re willing having their products tested on animals in markets that require animal testing. They claim not to test finished products on animals themselves, yet there’s no mention of ingredients. This is an example of “cruelty-free greenwashing” (or bunnywashing) from Olay.
