Say no to testing
The Co-operative is against the unnecessary suffering of animals and animal testing of cosmetic and household products and ingredients in particular. That’s why we don't test any of our own brand cosmetics on animals.

Finding another way
Where safety testing is needed, we believe alternative methods of testing should be used.
To avoid further testing on animals products and ingredients with a history of safe use should be chosen.
There are also a number of alternative non-animal tests which have helped enormously in reducing the number of animal tests over the past few years. These involve cell and tissue culture, computer models and assessment of the chemical properties of a substance.

RSPCA
The Co-operative also works closely with the RSPCA, becoming the first major retailer to support the RSPCA's farm animal welfare standards and now offering the largest range of RSPCA Freedom Food-labelled products in the UK.
