Is Aveeno Cruelty Free?

Bill Introduced to Ban Animal Testing in the USA!

Is Aveeno Cruelty Free?

Recently someone reached out to ask me, is Aveeno Cruelty Free? When I last checked, Aveeno was not cruelty free. I hadn’t heard anything about Aveeno changing their stance. Their parent company, Johnson & Johnson is not cruelty free either. So I reached out by email to ask Aveeno if they were cruelty free. I asked them about their cruelty free status about 8 months ago, too.

Here’s the response I received

Dear Courtney,

So unfortunately, no, Aveeno is not cruelty free. They test when required by law. They sell in China. I would not buy from them.

If you are looking for quality affordable cruelty free skincare from the drugstore I recommend checking out the Yes To line, Derma E, Alba Botancia, Andalou Naturals, Pacifica, and Mineral Fusion. My all time favorite skincare brand is Paula’s Choice.
