So a follow-up email was required where I received further clarifications about First Aid Beauty‘s process in verifying that their raw material suppliers do not test on animals.
“First Aid Beauty’s raw material suppliers do not test on animals. First Aid Beauty went through a rigorous certification process with our suppliers in order to ensure that the ingredients bought and used by our suppliers were not tested on animals. Each supplier signed a certificate which states that the ingredients used by our suppliers are
