Yes, they are cruelty free. We do not carry out any testing on animals ourselves. The statements from our manufacturers also confirm that they do not use any materials or ingredients in the oils which are of animal origin, also that they have never been tested on animals by the manufacturer, or on their behalf. The oils do not contain any animal derived ingredients, or come into contact with any materials which could be derived from animals during manufacture, and so are free from Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE) and Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathies (TSE).
