Does Nabla Test on Animals?

No, Nabla is not cruelty-free as they sell in mainland China, where animal testing is required by law for imported cosmetics.

While Nabla doesn't directly test on animals, their decision to sell in China means third parties conduct animal testing on their behalf to meet regulatory requirements. This automatically disqualifies them from cruelty-free certification by organizations like Leaping Bunny and PETA.

However, Nabla does offer vegan formulations across their 67-product range, meaning many products contain no animal-derived ingredients. Being vegan and cruelty-free are separate certifications — a brand can be vegan while still allowing animal testing for market access.
