Is Acqua di Parma sold in China?
Yes Acqua di Parma sells products in mainland China.
When AdP claim that they don’t test on animals except in cases where regulatory bodies can require it – it is talking about China. And selling in China still puts products at risk of being tested on animals in pre or post market.
Whilst we cannot now claim that countries involved in selling products in China can be cruelty-free, China’s animal testing policy is no longer as black and white is it seemed.
Is Acqua di Parma Vegan?
Acqua di Parma is not a vegan brand. Whilst it has some products that are free-from animal byproducts, the brand is not free-from animal ingredients.
And as it is not cruelty-free, it cannot be considered vegan.
