Klorane does not perform animal testing on any of our products. Since September, 2004, animal testing on cosmetic final products has been forbidden in Europe, whereas animal testing is permitted in the U.S. In addition, it is forbidden to market cosmetic products which were previously tested on animals in Europe. Pierre Fabre, the parent company of Klorane, is dedicated to developing alternative methods to animal testing. Our final product's tolerance and effectiveness are evaluated in-vitro (laboratories) and in-vivo (on volunteer individuals).
