Peta.org has a great resource for this info -

This link is actually a link I found on their site.

If you go to Wal-Mart or Target, most of the brands they carry (in terms of cosmetics and chemicals) do in fact test. What many people don't know is that there are only a few large companies that put out the many many brands we see on shelves. For example, if you go to the laundry detergent aisle and look on the boxes, you'll see that the major companies are Proctor and Gamble and Unilever even though there are a bunch of brand names. These two companies are notorious for animal testing, as are Gillette, Johnson and Johnson, Colgate Palmolive, and Dial.

An animal-friendly brand that is carried by Target (and other stores) is Method. They make home cleaners, body washes, and detergent. They do NOT animal test, and I love their products. Check them out at http://www.methodhome.com.

Also, most of the cosmetics lines at major stores (not department stores, but the ones like Wal-Mart) do animal test as well. Revlon and Almay do not. Loreal is said to be the most evil animal tester in the make-up industry.

If the bottle doesn't say that they don't test then they most likely do. Procter and Gamble sell the most and they definately do test. Aussie doesn't test. This website will tell you for every product in your home! http://www.navs.org/site/pageserver?page...

To list what brands do would be endless because most cosmetic manufacturers use animal testing at some point, if not for the evaluation of a finished product for the possible reactions or health risks of its ingredients; sometimes performed by the same company or a third party.

DO NOT trust cosmetics that claim not to have used animal testing. If you don't have the time and resources to investigate for yourself, which I assume you don't, then just go to PETA web site for as radical as they are, and I'm sure they work hard to identify who does or does not animal test (for real!!). Also the Humane Society Of the United States, and my final advice is to check out The Coalition for Consumer Information on Cosmetics, and buy only from companies listed there.

I'd rather feed political and social power to the Coalition than taking any chances to support (indirectly) animal testing on cosmetics! or not use make up at all, like I usually do.
