Background information about this claim
In a recent video created by a user on a social media platform called, TikTok, rumors have begun circulating of whether or not L’Oreal, a cosmetic company, tests their products on animals. The immediate reaction to these rumors would be to see what L’Oreal states on this topic, but let’s take a closer look at it. L’Oreal’s website states, “At L’Oréal, we care for animal welfare and we do not test on animals. We are for a world without animal testing.” Opposingly, PETA; People For The Ethical Treatment of Animals, released an article stating that L’Oreal is on their list of cosmetic companies who test their products on animals.

On L’Oreal’s website, the company states, “we have a large number of non-animal predictive assessment tools, such as molecular modelling, expert toxicology systems, imaging techniques and many more.” They also state that they are for a world without animal testing.

According to PETA, to be on their anti-cruelty list, a company cannot allow any other company to test their products on any animal. PETA does state that L’Oreal has made progress by creating a policy that they will not test finished products on animals, but L’Oreal still sells many of the products in China that are government tested.

Rating
We can conclude that this video on Tik Tok needs more context and evidence to be proven. According to many sources we have no real medical sources that prove if animal testing has happened or not.
