I was watching a video on new French sunscreens and I wanted to see if it was cruelty free. Turns out none of them was (la roche posay, avène, SVR, Lancaster, bioderma), and I wanted to see if other brands were cruelty free. I refer to Cruelty-Free Kitty for that, but I also saw a video on why animal testing is not a thing anymore. I was reaaaaally skeptical. Apparently L'Oréal doesn't test on animals and China neither, only on specific cosmetics (sunscreen, whitening etc). But... Maybe I am just paranoid but I can't believe what a company says. I know they manipulate the wording for example, saying it's not testing "on European grounds" (I'm French). She also said that animal testing is not profitable and hurts the image of the company. Is that enough to make them stop animal testing ?

So my question is where to find good sources on cruelty free brands ? On what grounds or studies do they say it's cruelty free or not ?
