Does anyone know if Shu Uemura tests on animals? I checked the PETA site and a couple others listed on Suzukigirl's notepad, but I dont see any info one way or the other for Shu. Anyone know? TIA!

According to the Australian Vogue website, Shu Uemura does not test on animals.

Actually the Australian Vogue site isn't entirely correct. Shu is owned by L'oreal, and L'oreal is a company that tests. Even if Shu products aren't tested, the parent company certainly tests its other brands.

Owned by L'Oreal? I didnt know that and I didnt know that L'oreal tests on animals. I have all of the L'Oreal OTLs, now I dont know if I can use them. That sucks!!!

And well it is your decision what to do now. When I switched to not tested cosmetics I tossed out all my L'oreal, but I held on to one Lancome lipstick. I figured that throwing it out wouldn't get my money back or undo what had already been done. The L'oreal stuff wasn't much of a loss, but the Lancome was really pretty and smelled nice so I kept it. I just don't spend any more money on products tested on animals.

However to me ..if they are NOT testing their products on animals ..or made of animal by-products ..that's fine by me. I will NOT support a company that tests on critters! Yeah there is that too. It is really so difficult for an individual consumer to figure out who did what to which ingredients. I figure that any attempt to reduce support for companies that test and only buy from companies that don't is a good thing. But then it is really up to each individual to decide what is best.
 
I gotta learn not to hit that SUBMIT button so fast. IMHO, i can't justify animal testing, reason being, that the tests are BEYOND inhumane, and not only that, the tests are done, redone and REDONE! Plus, we can't say that its fair. I guess what i am trying to say is, the animal is a life. Whether a rat, cat or monkey or other, life is a life. And if we think they are sufficient enough to test for human products, we should respect that animal. Maybe we should test products for humans ON humans! I dont know. to me, with all the science in the world, we shouldnt be doing something so, barbaric. Sometimes, when i tell people about the Dreys test, or how acid is poured on a live animals bare skin, they say its gross. Well, it is. Then they say "oh, i didn't know". sorry, i gotta get off my soapbox.. sorry if offended anyone, didn't mean too Just my opinion..

I am going to never buy another EA item again and have already thrown my foundation and mascara away. I feel sick now but thanks for the links telling us which company does test and which doesn't. Animal testing is sick and cruel and i for one am deeply against it. I usualy buy a lot of cosmetics from QVC as none of their makeup/beauty products are tested on animals (supposidly.but i will check)

 
Youre very welcome. all my products at home are animal friendly. I even check my shampoo bottles for the NOT TESTED ON ANIMALS notation. if no notation, no buy.. i dont care WHAT brand it is..
