Organix, OGX is a popular drugstore hair care brand, most known for their affordable nourishing shampoo and hair products made with exotic ingredients but is OGX cruelty-free in 2019?
Is OGX Cruelty-Free?
OGX is not cruelty-free in 2019; OGX products are sold in China where animal testing is required by law for all imported cosmetics therefore, OGX is required by law to test on animals in 2019.
It should also be noted that OGX is owned by Johnson & Johnson, a parent corporation that does test on animals on animals when required by law in 2019.
OGX Cruelty-Free Status
OGX was once known to be a cruelty-free brand but OGX was removed from PETA’s cruelty-free list when they found out OGX was sold in mainland China where animal testing for imported cosmetics is required by law.
Here is OGX statement about their animal testing policy from their website’s FAQ page:
OGX Sold in China?
When I asked OGX if their products are sold
In addition, Johnson & Johnson, OGX’s parent company is not a cruelty-free corporation and they state in their animal testing policy, “for our personal care products, we do not conduct animal testing or ask others to test on our behalf, except when required by law”
Below is a screenshot of Johnson & Johnson’s animal testing policy:

December 22, 2019I will no longer be buying OGX products as they ARE tested on animals and to say it is not is a lie. ALL their products sold in China are tested on animals- selling in China is THEIR CHOICE and by it they happily make a choice to TEST ON ANIMALS!!! Add to that the parent company J&J knowingly sold products they KNEW were carcinogenic? No thank you!

July 1, 2017Noooo! I’ve been using OGX because they have the “not tested on animals” label on their bottles… If that’s the case, they are cheating their customers??
Thanks for sharing this!

July 2, 2017Sadly the label “not tested on animals” can virtually mean whatever companies what it mean since it’s not regulated by anyone.
So companies can label their products to say “this PRODUCT was not tested on animals” when in fact, the INGREDIENTS were tested on animals or they can say something like “WE don’t test on animals” when in fact, they are hiring OTHERS to test their products/ingredients on animals on their behalf.
Hopefully one day, animal testing for cosmetics will be banned and we won’t have to deal with these labeling loopholes and disingenuous companies trying to pass off like they care about animals
