Are any of your products tested on animals?

No, we do no test on animals. At Green People, kindness extends to every choice we make. Since 1997, we have been firmly opposed to animal testing and are proud to create certified organic, cruelty-free beauty that never compromises our principles.

At Green People, we have been proudly opposed to animal testing since we started out. 

Certified by the Organic Food Federation, COSMOS and The Vegan Society, our cruelty-free and vegan-friendly beauty products offer natural care with compassion at their core.

We are opposed to animal testing

We never test on animals. Green People are and always have been totally opposed to any cruelty to animals. Since starting the Green People in 1997, we have operated to the following principles: -

  • We have never carried out or commissioned animal testing of any raw material, cosmetic ingredient or finished product. All Green People products are tested on human volunteers.
  • We do not and will not use ingredients that have been made by manufacturers who carry out or commission animal testing of cosmetic ingredients.

Animal testing of cosmetics and cosmetic ingredients is also prohibited by Organic Food Federation and COSMOS who are certification bodies that we are governed by. They carry out a detailed inspection every year of our manufacturing site and this includes checking all raw material sources and suppliers.

Certified with The Vegan Society

Nearly all of our natural and organic beauty products are vegan-friendly. You will find this logo on all vegan products, showing that it is approved by The Vegan Society.
