    Nope, they never tested on animals. They test on people.

    Some companies get around it by not testing on animals themselves but buying the research on the ingredients - that has been tested on animals which is by and large the same but they can still put the 'not tested on animals' badge on the technicality. TBS may have been caught up in that which is why things changed.
    I'd also like to say that any sort of product from paper, pens etc were all sourced from companies with ethical practices as well.

    In fact in recent years (I think it was the U.S) were going to change the laws to say that ALL cosmetics had to be tested on animals. TBS fought that strongly and were prepared to shut down all their US shops.

    But yeah - what a bunch of nasty paper wasters
