Everything is chemical sure but not everything is harmful (or not in moderation). I wasn't even talking about chemicals. I started this whole thread just to see what companies attempt to eliminate animal testing, which is unnecessary and cruel. I would like to support groups that have similar interests to my own and I believe in taking care of those who can't/need help taking care of themselves and animals fall in there. It isn't a bad idea when starting to ask others opinions to give you a starting point to research.

<<uses chemicals>>
Thing is: Everything is a chemical, including the water in your faucet or that you buy at the grocery store (dihydrogen monoxide, anyone?). Heck, our bodies are made up of chemicals (we exhale carbon dioxide daily). IMO, this argument against any company is invalid.

This is such a hit or miss topic. Mac cosmetics now tests on animals which about drop and killed me this year. *sign still hurts! But when it comes to makeup i have went with some awesome indie companies that do there research and make sure there supplies and makeup are not tested on animals.

@Marilyn C. Urban Decay and Estee Lauder companies (such as Clinique, Smashbox & MAC) have been removed from PETA's list as well as The Leaping Bunny due to their decision to sell in China :(
The rest you listed however, are still ok to the best of my knowledge.

Urban Decay sells in China now that requires animal testing on products sold there.
Although yes we can never be sure about companies testing it's just sad how companies who were actively passionate about animal rights since the founding of their company have sold out just for the money.

I like Too Faced, Urban Decay, Revlon, NYX Cosmetics, Clinique. All of those are in PETA's list of cruelty free companies.

Hey everyone,
Urban Decay is no longer cruelty free :(
You can read my post about the issue here: http://www.izntlifesojuicy.com/2012/06/major-companies-have-been-removed-from.html
My favorite cruelty brands are tarte, Korres, NARS, Stila and Revlon. Revlon is still considered cruelty-free on leapingbunny.org.

There are several companies (already mentioned) that don't do animal testing now. There are also companies mentioned (such as Coastal Scents) that are ethical in other practices as well, and therefore worth supporting aside from the benefit of rewarding them for not needlessly harming animals.

I guess my thing is I don't want to support someone who is actively testing on animals. I understand that products may have been tested/derived from animals in the past. However, that doesn't mean companies have to continue that trend.

Angela C. said it best!!! We can't have 100% faith in the companies being honest. Their bottom line is to make money. Its cool to be aware and respecting our four-legged friends but for me personally stressing about whether a product is vegan or cruelty-free isn't keeping me up at night. There are way more important pressing issues in society that need to be of greater concerned....missing kids/adults for example.

Even if a company isn't doing animal testing right this moment, they are building on the research that was done with animal testing, so there is no way to completely get away from it: the ingredients that are currently in use are selected because they were vetted through animal testing. The best we can do now is make decisions about which current business practices we want to support, which means that sometimes we will simply be choosing the lesser evil or the devil with the best product.

I'm not sure about Revlon though, bc i recently contacted them and they sent me their statement which i'll show below;
Revlon is in full compliance with all applicable laws and regulations related to animal testing. All ingredients used by Revlon and all products manufactured and sold by Revlon comply with both U.S. and European Union laws and regulations, including full compliance with all Europe-wide bans on testing of cosmetics and cosmetics ingredients using animals, which are part of the European Cosmetics Directive.
Revlon has long been an industry leader in the elimination of animal testing. In 1986, Revlon was the first beauty products manufacturer to close down its animal testing facilities completely. In addition, Revlon holds its suppliers of ingredients and components to the same standards. All chemical supplier purchase orders require confirmation by the supplier that it does not perform animal testing on materials supplied.
To assure product safety, Revlon relies on the judgment of pharmacologic, toxicologic and medical experts, non-animal alternative test methods and the established safety of formulations and ingredients. Revlon is committed to providing safe and effective products and will continue to comply with all government laws and regulations necessary to assure the quality, safety and efficacy of its products.
and while that may sound all dandy, they weren't willing to give out any more information like ingredients and whether or not there was no testing at all during product development. So i'm feeling a bit skeptical there, but of course it is a personal choice how you want to shop

I have been using this site
http://www.navs.org/site/PageServer?pagename=ain_pt_whois
But it doesn't have everything. I google it and write letters sometimes. I have looked at leaping bunny website before and I have an app on my phone (but not everything is listed).

@Jordan...
<<Aside from drugstore brands, of course!>>
Wrong. Hard Candy is cruelty-free. So is Revlon (the first drugstore cruelty-free brand). Both drugstore brands (former being exclusive to Walmart).
In other news: Do not get me started on PETA.

MAC aren't cruelty free, they're owned by Estee Lauder and they sell in China. You really have to do a lot of research into these things, MAC released a statement about this about a month ago

The best thing is to look at the PETA list NOT the product itself. If it's advertised on the actual product or packaging as "cruelty free" or "no animal testing" there's a chance they are lying because apparently there's no laws against doing that. HOWEVER if they are on the actual PETA list there are laws against lying to get on the PETA list in other words major lawsuit. My favorite cruelty free brands are: MAC and Urban Decay. There are a lot of affordable brands that are on the list such as NYX, Wet n' Wild, and Mac Factor. So PLEASE keep in mind that buying cruelty free makeup doesn't mean you have to spend more. Only takes a few minutes to look it up on the list.

Shelly T. got it. There's no clear cut regulations on what cruelty free is. So many companies find loop holes to put it on products because it makes the buyers trust the product more. Hence buy more. Best to research the companies that interest you. Just because it's on the label doesn't mean it's true. 100%

To be fair I don't know much about PETA except that they seem to have a decent list of who does what. Of course a lot of brands nowadays don't directly test their products on animals rather they use ingredients that were tested on animals instead. I'll have to check this other list out though, I prefer to have options rather than relying on one source! :)

I refer to the Leaping Bunny programme list which list companies that don't test on any stage of product development; Urban Decay, Hard Candy, Make Up Academy and other brands are on there. Personally i'll only use products that are 100% cruelty free. Check out Grace M, she's a vegan and cruelty makeup artist on here and she's got a video dedicated to this.
Also Smashbox actually aren't cruelty free, they state on their website that they use animal testing when required by law and they sell in China which requires testing. And i don't like PETA, they do more harm than good for animals and are only in it for the money but that's just my opinion
