I've stumbled upon various websites across the net listing companies and products that do and don't test on animals. I've become very confused with a few of these, and was wondering if anyone could give any further information to help me out...? Wella - On PETA's www.caringconsumer.com, wella is listed on the 'companies that don't test' list. However, if you go on their website, some parts have a footer that say 'owned by P&G'. Also, on www.saav.org.za/shopping_guide.php, it lists Wella as a 'does test' company. Beiersdorf [Nivea] - Again, PETA lists them as 'don't test', and SAAV they they do. Alberto Culver - they claim they don't test on animals, but won't sign up with PETA to confirm this. Schwarzkopf + Henkel - I have no idea John Dale - I can't really find anything about this company apart from their own website, and they don't say anything about being cruelty free, so i'm not sure. Thank you

OK, have done a bit of a Google search and although I may not be accurate have found out Wella does not test on animals anymore, and doesn't look like they have done so for 5 years, but their products do not claim to be vegan, and does look like they are affiliated with Proctor and Gamble........ even Marmite is now.......... ARRRGGGHH! This link may be of interest to you as it has some info about P&G. www.uncaged.co.uk/pg.htm. I think the reason Beiersdorf (Nivea) is a bit confusing, with some saying yes and some no, as they are part of Bristol Myers Squibb, associated with animal testing. Also, can't find anything about the products being vegan. Alberto Culver, yes some products are tested on animals still: www.arkonline.com/animal_test_companies.htmlSchwarzkopf + Henkel, yes they still do, listed under Henkel: home.netcom.com/~axleplus/stuff/hotstuff/company.htmlJohn Dale: I can't find anything about this company, but any company that is cruelty free is generally keen to make it clear to the public that they are cruelty free, so would probably steer clear to be on the safe side as they aren't promoting that fact. Hope this helps!
