Do you test on animals?
No. Paula’s Choice has never tested on animals at any stage of product development and never will. We also do not contract with any third parties to conduct animal testing on our behalf. We are also Leaping Bunny certified.
Are Paula’s Choice products vegan, or do any of them contain animal by-products?
