Is Jo Malone London, the fragrance and lifestyle brand known for its elegant scents and minimalist packaging, cruelty-free? I’m specifically interested in knowing if they test their ingredients or finished products on animals, either directly or through third-party suppliers, anywhere in the world. I’d also like clarification on their policies regarding selling in countries that mandate animal testing, and whether they’re certified by any reputable cruelty-free organizations like Leaping Bunny or PETA. Finally, if they’re not currently cruelty-free, are there any publicly stated plans or commitments they’ve made to transition to a cruelty-free business model?
Answer
Jo Malone is not considered a cruelty-free brand.
Details:
- Parent Company: Jo Malone is owned by Estée Lauder Companies, which is not a cruelty-free company. Estée Lauder Companies does test on animals when required by law.
- Animal Testing Policy: Jo Malone itself does not claim to be cruelty-free. Their products may be tested on animals by the company, its suppliers, or third parties, especially when required by law in certain countries.
- Presence in China: Jo Malone products are sold in mainland China, where animal testing is often mandated for cosmetics sold in physical stores. While there have been changes in regulations and possibilities for exemptions, it’s not definitively confirmed that Jo Malone avoids all animal testing in China.
- Third-Party Certification: Jo Malone is not certified by any independent cruelty-free organizations, such as Leaping Bunny or PETA.
