Since our foundation in 1980 Ecover has never tested any finished products or ingredients on sentient animals, nor has it ordered such tests by third parties.
For research and product development Ecover uses alternative methods of testing only: e.g. based on bacteria, Daphnia, algae or theoretical evaluation models.
Ecover do not condone or advocate animal testing. Ecover will not knowingly accept or work with suppliers that we know test ingredients on animals.
Ecover is not a member any contract testing laboratory.
Ecover supports the UK -based Fund for the Replacement of Animals in Medical Experiments (FRAME)
