Is African Skin Solutions a cruelty-free company? Is the product tested on animals or people?

African Skin Solutions is not tested on animals (human or otherwise) Shea butter has been harvested for ingestion and topical use in Africa for at least 1000 years if not longer. Some speculate that Cleopatra queen of Egypt was an importer of Shea butter. Ibn Battuta, a powerful 14th century explorer documented the production of Shea butter in Mali, but noted that it was used as a frying oil! There has been no need For western scientists to test the safety of Shea butter on skin as the use of this naturally occurring product predates the scientific method. The first modern scientific Shea butter experiments were conducted during the 1940s. One such scientist, Joseph Kerharo published the results in 1947 of an inquiry into the effectiveness of Shea Butter as a treatment of arthritis where human animals with arthritis were used as test subjects. Since then there have been many scientific inquiries into the power of Shea butter. Hopefully African Skin Solutions will make the effort to officiate itself as a cruelty-free company both as a way to reassure its own customers, and support the organization of the leaping bunny. http://www.gocrueltyfree.org/

I am not an expert on this and not part of the testing crew, I am just another customer all I can say is that I have been using it and I like it. According to me, it is a good product.

I haven't clue if they test on animals, the product has been around for a considerable time so you might say it wastested on the human animal. With apparently no ill effects.

Don't know about cruelty-free; this product is not the best lathering shampoo out there, but does a great job as a color protection shampoo!

"Thank you for contacting Boots. We do not use animals to test our products, nor do we have animal testing conducted on our behalf or by anyone else. Instead, we ensure product safety through state-of-the-art testing methods on human volunteers. Lanolin is derived from sheep's wool, and as such is an animal by product. Of course the animal is completely unharmed. Thank you for your interest. We are looking into several markets, such as the CCIC or LEAPING BUNNY PROGRAM, as part of future packaging artwork changes. Though we have always been cruelty free and done our testing on people, over 50,000 volunteers each year, we understand that more people are wanting to see this stated on the packaging. Sincerely, Boots Customer Service"

The bottle states that its not tested on animals. If this is the same one that I bought from a nearby health food store than it also has Dead Sea salts as well which help exfoliate. It has an asterisk on the ingredients that are certified natural I believe.

Emily.... It is a cream for the human skin. Even if they tested it on animals which I don't know how that could be done it would NOT have hurt them. Get a life will ya, the cream isn't poison you know. gezzzz

It does not have the cruelty-free symbol like many products do. So it is possible that some of the ingredients are tested on animals and it would not be cruelty-free. Wish the company would say one way or the other.

According to Nature's Gate it's both Cruelty Free and Vegan. They have a great reputation, so I believe it's true.
