Everything put in commercial cosmetics (even the "organic" ones) has been tested on animals. The FDA mandates it. So how does The Body Shop and everyone else get away with their misleading statements? Well, technically they're telling the truth...they didn't actually hold a bunny still and apply mascara to its eyelashes. But all the chemicals that make up that mascara has at one time or another been tested on animals.
In my opinion it's a very dishonest marketing practice.

Yes and no. When, say, The Body Shop tells you that they don't test, it means that The Body Shop itself doesn't test. Companies DO make purchases from other companies that may or may not have tested.
