Is StriVectin cruelty-free? Find out now! Logical Harmony helps make cruelty-free easy!

StriVectin is a popular and well-known skincare brand. You can find their products at Dermstore, Ulta, Nordstrom, and Macy’s. StriVectin is known for their skincare collections targeted towards helping prevent and reduce the signs of aging. I’ve gotten a lot of questions about the cruelty-free status of StriVectin over the years.

For a long time, StriVectin was on the Brands to Avoid list and they were not a Logical Harmony Approved cruelty-free brand. They were selling in stores in China, where animal testing is required by law. But has that changed? Is StriVectin now cruelty-free?

Keep reading to find out what’s currently going on with StriVectin. Find out what their current stance on animal testing is. And see some exclusive details they shared only with Logical Harmony.

Some of the best-selling StriVectin vegan products are:

StriVectin is cruelty-free – there is no animal testing occurring anywhere on their products. They are not selling in any markets that require animal testing and have updated the StriVectin cruelty-free policy to reflect this change. For those who are concerned, StriVectin does not have a parent company.

Does StriVectin have any vegan products? Yes. StriVectin does have vegan products.

Not only is StriVectin cruelty-free, but they do have vegan options.

At the time of publishing this article, everything is vegan except for Volumizing Hand Cream and new Tri-Phase Toner.

Want a deeper dive? StriVectin shared some exclusive comments with Logical Harmony about the changes they made as a brand.

Previously, StriVectin stated that they did test on animals as required by law. I was really interested to hear what had changed with the brand and why StriVectin no longer used that statement.

StriVectin had the following response:

StriVectin identified animal welfare as a corporate priority after being inspired by its employees, as well as many of its loyal brand fans, who are unified in their passion and commitment to the cause. While the brand effectively regained cruelty-free status two years ago, after choosing to fully exit mainland China stores in 2017.

Because required by law animal testing can happen in many markets and not just China, I also wanted to find out if they were selling in any region where animal testing could be required by law on their products. In the US and EU, as well as most regions, there are still situations where animal testing is required by law. This is usually when new ingredients and formulations have not yet proven safe for use are introduced. I also wanted to confirm that any ingredients and formulations used by StriVectin were not tested on animals as required by law.

StriVectin had the following response:

StriVectin has fully exited mainland China and does not sell in any region where animal testing is required by law. We ensure that all ingredients used for StriVectin products are not tested on animals including those purchased by our manufacturers from other laboratories. We review all ingredient source data sheets and certificates of analysis to confirm that no animal testing was performed during the development of the ingredients.

Where is StriVectin sold?

StriVectin is currently available on their own website as well as Dermstore, Ulta, Nordstrom, and Macy’s.
