If I’m not mistaken, Drink Elephant is sold in mainland China where animal testing is required. When I read that I came straight to your site to look them up and saw this post.
Hi Shannon! Fortunately Drunk Elephant only sell to mainland China online, which bypasses any potential animal testing.
I am a huge fan of Drunk Elephant, however they were bought by Shiseido ☹️
