Is Skin1004 Cruelty-free?

Hi everyone! I have seen numerous claims online from third-party websites selling Skin1004 products which state that the product is cruelty-free. Picky also claims this for their products too. On the actual Skin1004 website I see no claims anywhere that their products are cruelty-free. Usually, if this information is true, it can be easily found on a brand’s website in their “about us” section. I am feeling skeptical now because it is so hard to find any verifiable information on this. What are your thoughts?

They can't state it on their website unless they have a certification, so i think that they are and have yet to officially be certified

all k beauty products are cruelty free because animal testing is illegal in South Korea. So yes skin1004 is cruelty free because it’s a k beauty brand. I also believe that’s why it’s not stated on their website.

Unfortunately, not every South-Korean brand is cruelty-free. Brands that sell their products in China must test on animals by Chinese law unless all the ingredients are already on a “whitelist” that allows the product to be sold without animal testing. Amorepacific (Etude House, innisfree, Laneige, etc.) sells their products in China and are not cruelty-free because their products contain ingredients that require animal testing before they can be sold. https://sokoglam.com/blogs/news/113436357-all-you-need-to-know-about-cruelty-free-cosmetics I recommend you do your own research on this if you are interested in learning more as I am only relaying what I have learned through my own research ☺️
