EltaMD tests on animals where it is required of them by regulatory agencies. This is their statement regarding animal testing:

“EltaMD is committed to work toward the elimination of laboratory safety testing using animals and strives to address safety assessments of our products using available databases and non-animal alternatives.

Animal testing is only conducted where specifically required by regulatory agencies.  In such limited instances, the tests are conducted only at contract testing facilities that meet government standards and, since our acquisition by them in 2018, the more rigorous requirements established by our parent company (Colgate-Palmolive Company) with input from animal welfare groups.”
