every thing that stacia420 said is absolutely retarded. they do test on animals and no the law does not require them too, which is why there is so many products labeled not tested on animals. She is clearly a rep. from proctor and gamble which is a cruel company which frequently tests on poor innocent animals. She also clearly has no brain and needs to realize what cruel, horrible things she is supporting. Stacia grow a ******* heart.Is the shampoo pantene tested on animals?
What is your policy about research involving animals at P%26amp;G?











P%26amp;G has ended research involving animals on all our finished consumer products except when required by law. We use non-animal alternatives first. We'll only use animal testing when there are no other reasonable options.





In our Healthcare business, we're focused on developing innovative medicines that improve people's lives. Current regulatory standards require animal research while developing these medications. It's our policy to use the minimum number of animals necessary while working toward our goal of the reduction and replacement of animals. We continue to identify screening techniques that are acceptable to global regulatory groups to take the place of animal tests in the earliest phase of drug discovery.





Through our pet care and nutrition products, we help dogs and cats live longer, healthier lives. We feed our foods first to dogs and cats to help us develop nutrition that delivers true health benefits to millions of pets worldwide. We make sure the dogs and cats we work with receive the best care. We treat them as if they're our own pets. They are adopted into loving homes or placed in our retirement facility when their help is no longer needed. At the same time, we're working hard on alternatives to find even better ways of getting these results and eliminating the need for additional research with other animals.





We'd rather use alternative test methods. Not only is the use of animals avoided, but reliable alternative tests generally cost less and take less time than animal research. We'd like to be able to eliminate animal research on ingredients in consumer products altogether, and we're making progress. We've invested over $190 million in alternatives, making us an industry leader. We've helped develop over 50 alternative methods and have shared our work in over 300 scientific publications. We're also working with the FDA and respected animal welfare groups, such as the Humane Society of the United States, to work on reforming regulations and validating alternative methods.

I use Pantene too and i hope thye do not test my shampoo on any animal! I would have to stop using it!!!
many shampoos (used for humans) have labels on them that say ';not tested on animals'; look for that label then if its not there u should be good to go
the only ones that don't test on animails will say it on the back of the bottle. if it doesn't, then they do.
yes they do 99% of the things your girlfriend uses ae tested on animals
HAHHAHAHHA





What a bunch of **** she just said huh?





Got to IAMSCRUELTY.COM to see what a ';nice facility'; means for P%26amp;G
If it's not on this list, then it might probably be tested on animals - these are the only products that you can trust are NOT tested on animals -

There are so many good cosmetics and shampoos that are NOT EVER tested on animals (Innoxa, Starlet, Australis, Lush, Yardley), there's no excuse for using the others, unless you don't care about animals having their eyes burnt out with shampoo, being force fed lipstick until their stomachs burst. It's just unconscionable.





Progressive companies are now using a much preferable way of testing chemicals and products - on human cells in a test tube. It's not only much more humane to animals, it's also more scientific, and gives us information on how products actually interact with humans, which of course makes more sense than testing things on any animal who doesn't even share our biology!

Yep.. It's tested on animals. But Tresemme and Vo5 aren't tested on animals... they're a good alternative and you can buy it at Target or a drugstore.
