The Ordinary is cruelty free but not 100% vegan
The Ordinary pledges that the brand does not conduct, contract out or fund animal testing in the developing, manufacturing or marketing of their products. Whilst The Ordinary recognises the importance of customer safety, the brand believes this can be sufficiently achieved without animal cruelty. The Ordinary is cruelty free and stands against animal testing. Furthermore, The Ordinary does not export its products to mainland China and/or other countries, where animal testing is required by law.
Cruelty free statement
Q: Do you test on animals?
A: DECIEM and The Ordinary do not test on animals and do not ask others to do so. For this reason, none of our brands or products are sold in stores or conventional retailers in mainland China, since such sales require animal testing for registration purposes.
