Quick Update on Cruelty Free Brands

       For all the Canadian citizens, Quo- a Shoppers Drugmart brand is to be cruelty free. I recently called in the costumer service. I shall paraphrase, 

"Mam, Quo does not test on animals, neither do any of Life products we own. We are cruelty free."

      After that I asked if their products owned "animal ingredients," which they responded to me with they would need to call the factory and such, but it can be known that they are in fact cruelty-free. So, after conclusive internet searching and a personal call towards Shoppers Drugmart- it can be said that Quo products ARE cruelty free. Without that said, here is a written response of a question from Shoppers Drugmart-

Your question:
Are Life Brand products tested on animals?

Response:
In accordance with the generally recognized meaning of this term, the finished products are not tested on animals.At present and based on current information, Shoppers Drug Mart does not actively support or commission the testing of any Life Brand product in order to establish clinical support for safety, efficacy, or allergic reactions. 

This phrase does not guarantee that the individual ingredients were not tested on animals. For new ingredients, testing is sometimes essential to determine that the ingredient is safe. 

       In the end it is only your choice. Individual ingredients may or may not need to be tested. I'm sure they wouldn't lie about not testing their products, but be aware ingredient testing may still occur.  :-)
