MAC Cosmetics is NOT Cruelty free. Read below to understand why.
ABOUT THE BRAND
MAC Cosmetics is a popular makeup and beauty brand sold around the world.
ANIMAL TESTING POLICY:
Below is the Animal Testing Policy that MAC Cosmetics has on their website. The section highlighted below “while some governments conduct animal testing to prove safety before they will allow us to sell our products,” implies that MAC Cosmetics products are sold in regions where Animal testing is required by law ie, Ex: Mainland China. In case, of post-market animal testing, MAC Cosmetics will pay the Chinese government to let their products be taken off the shelves and be tested on animals.
Regardless of where the products are manufactured, products are still subjected to POST MARKET testing on animals ie, cosmetic products can be chosen at random and removed from shelves for “confirmatory” animal testing to ensure that the product on sale to customers is same as formulation approved for sale.
Remember that brands willing sell their products in China even though they know their products will be tested on animals. The statement “We love our fans and we never want to exclude them anywhere.” tells you that MAC Cosmetics values profits over animal welfare. You don’t need to support brands like these that are tested on animals when there are so many wonderful Cruelty free alternatives.
