Smith & Cult Animal Testing Policy

Smith & Cult claims to be “cruelty-free” but other than that, I couldn’t find any other information about Smith & Cult’s animal testing policy on their website.

So I reached out to Smith & Cult and they confirmed to me that they do not test their products or ingredients on animals, they do not ask any third parties to test their products or ingredients on animals on their behalf, they receive confirmation from their raw material suppliers that they also do not test on animals, and none of their products are sold in foreign markets that require animal testing (ie. China).

Is Smith & Cult Sold in China?

All imported cosmetics sold in mainland China are required by law to be tested on animals. However, Smith & Cult has confirmed they do not sell their products in retail stores in mainland China and therefore they are not required to test on animals.

Smith & Cult has met all of our criteria in our Cruelty-Free Checklist and is included on our List of Cruelty-Free Brands.
