What is Pond’s® policy on animal testing?
Unilever, which manufactures Ponds, does not test finished products on animals, and we are committed to the elimination of animal testing for our business. To ensure that you fully understand the extent of our commitment, we would like to take this opportunity to outline some of the principles to which we continue to adhere. Our first priority is to our consumers, and where required by regulators for safety reasons, we will have to carry out limited tests on some ingredients and foods to ensure our products are safe and suitable for their intended use. However, we will not use animal testing when we have available either an accepted alternative test or other information that allows us to sufficiently evaluate safety. We will continue our work for alternative methods by participating in industry and scientific programs, and we will continue to support legislation that promotes the elimination of animal testing through the development of alternative methods.
