What’s documented
- 2026-06-01otherNaturewatch Foundation has maintained a consumer boycott of L'Oreal since 2000 over the company's animal-testing policy. In June 2026, Naturewatch confirmed the boycott remains active because L'Oreal has not changed a policy under which its products can still be tested on animals by health authorities in China as a condition of market access, despite L'Oreal ending direct ingredient testing on animals in 2024.source →
