Makeup forever send me an e-mailing saying they DO NOT test along with a PDF saying;
In 1989, the Perfumes and Cosmetics brands decided to ban animal testing on all products marketed; the Group uses and develops alternative methods in its laboratories and provides financial and technical support for the SCAAT [Steering Committee in Alternatives to Animal testing] program developed by the European cosmetics industry. The LVMH laboratories are the leaders in allergy research.
The rest of the PDF is about trying to be green.
NARS: NARS and Animal Testing:
NARS Cosmetics does not and never has conducted any animal testing of any kind. Thank you.

Clinique skin/Beauty Says: Clinique Laboratories, LLC. is committed to the elimination of animal testing. We are equally committed to consumer health and safety, and bringing to market products that comply with applicable regulations in every country in which our products are sold.
We do not conduct animal testing on our products or ingredients, nor ask others to test on our behalf, except when required by law. We evaluate our finished products in clinical tests on volunteer panels.
Clinique Laboratories, LLC. fully supports the development and global acceptance of non-animal testing alternatives. To this end, the Company works extensively with the industry at large and the global scientific community to research and fund these alternatives.
Fresh Beauty and Skincare Says: Fresh does not test any of our products on animals.

About Animal Derived ingridients: for your reference, our product development team has confirmed that the only philosophy products containing ingredients derived from animals are as follows:
pure grace shower cream (contains hydrolyzed milk protein),
amazing grace shampoo, bath & shower gel (contains hydrolyzed milk protein) and
kiss me lip balms (contain lanolin). all other philosophy products contain ingredients that are of botanical or synthetic origin.

B Kamins: found no information
DDF Is owned by Proctor And Gamble (skkketch) but says the following: P&G has ended research involving animals on all our finished consumer products except when required by law. We use non-animal alternatives first. We'll only use animal testing when there are no other reasonable options.
In our Healthcare business, we're focused on developing innovative medicines that improve people's lives. Current regulatory standards require animal research while developing these medications. It's our policy to use the minimum number of animals necessary while working toward our goal of the reduction and replacement of animals. We continue to identify screening techniques that are acceptable to global regulatory groups to take the place of animal tests in the earliest phase of drug discovery.
Through our pet care and nutrition products, we help dogs and cats live longer, healthier lives. We feed our foods first to dogs and cats to help us develop nutrition that delivers true health benefits to millions of pets worldwide. We make sure the dogs and cats we work with receive the best care. We treat them as if they're our own pets. They are adopted into loving homes or placed in our retirement facility when their help is no longer needed. At the same time, we're working hard on alternatives to find even better ways of getting these results and eliminating the need for additional research with other animals.
We'd rather use alternative test methods. Not only is the use of animals avoided, but reliable alternative tests generally cost less and take less time than animal research. We'd like to be able to eliminate animal research on ingredients in consumer products altogether, and we're making progress. We've invested over $190 million in alternatives, making us an industry leader. We've helped develop over 50 alternative methods and have shared our work in over 300 scientific publications. We're also working with the FDA and respected animal welfare groups, such as the Humane Society of the United States, to work on reforming regulations and validating alternative methods.
