Biotopica® is against animal testing at any point in the product development or manufacturing process.
We are fundamentally against animal testing of anti-microbial and personal care products on a worldwide basis. In China, where our products are retailed, the local Chinese authorities request that some anti-microbial or personal care products sold on the Chinese market must beanimal-tested. They view it as the best way to safeguard consumer safety in China.
We do not conduct these tests. They are done by Chinese laboratories that have been approved by local authorities on a limited animal panel.
We hope this statement helps to clarify our position and thank you for your interest and attention in the matter.
