The Ordinary is a brand owned by DECIEM, and the company has always been proud of its commitment to producing cruelty-free cosmetics. DECIEM does not test any of its products or ingredients on animals, nor do they commission others to do so. They also ensure that none of their suppliers perform any animal testing for any of Ordinaries products or its ingredients. The Ordinary has also received the Leaping Bunny stamp of approval which is widely considered to be the gold standard in understanding if a beauty product is truly cruelty-free. This certified seal confirms that no animal testing of any kind occurs throughout the entire production process of DECIEM's products - from raw materials to finished goods. In addition, The Ordinary follows strict vegan standards and all their formulas are free from animal-derived components and/or by-products such as lanolin, beeswax, carmine or other ingredients typically used in cosmetics production. DECIEM goes beyond simply being cruelty-free; they actively campaign against animal testing in the beauty and cosmetics industries, partnering with organizations like Cruelty-Free International which work tirelessly to end cosmetic animal testing. Overall, it is clear that The Ordinary takes very seriously its commitment to creating only cruelty-free personal care products for anyone looking for conscientious beauty products without having to compromise on quality or results.
