    Hi! I posted this comment on the Valentine’s Day gift page as well… that’s great that Bath and Body works signed the statement saying their products are not tested on animals, but if you look at any of their bottles it actually says that their FINISHED product was not tested, meaning that the ingredients most likely were. If I’m wrong, though, please feel free to post!

    Hi Kelly. Bath and Body Works does not test on animals. After the animal testing statement was re-worded on Bath & Body Works’ products, PETA received a new signed statement of assurance reconfirming that it does not conduct or commission animal testing of its products or ingredients.

    This “This final product not tested on animals” language the company states on its products is written to meet language requirements in England. The company sells products in the U.S. and U.K. and uses the same packaging in both countries. Because most ingredients have been tested on animals by someone at some time in the past, England does not allow a company to state “no animal testing” or language to that effect on its products, even if it has not conducted animal testing of ingredients.
