Rembrandt Cruelty-Free Status
At Conscious Bunny, we go beyond just cruelty-free claims. We also check whether a brand is vegan, clean, ethical, and sustainable, so you can decide if Rembrandt fits your conscious beauty values.
Below, you’ll find everything you need to know about Rembrandt’s cruelty-free status and overall brand ethics.
Is Rembrandt Cruelty-Free?Â
No, Rembrandt is not cruelty-free.They may test on animals, either themselves, through their suppliers, or through a third party. Brands who fall under this category could also be selling products where animal testing is required by law.
Is Rembrandt Cruelty-Free Certified?
No, Rembrandt is not certified by any organizations.
Companies can be fully cruelty-free without being certified, but certifications are a good indicator of their ethical practices. The most trusted organizations that give out certifications are PETA and Leaping Bunny.
Is Rembrandt Owned By A Cruelty-Free Parent Company?
Rembrandt is owned by Johnson & Johnson, a company that tests on animals. Not only is Rembrandt not cruelty-free but neither is their parent company.
Many brands are owned by larger companies (we call them parent companies) like L’Oréal, Estée Lauder, or Procter & Gamble—some of which still conduct animal testing.
Although the parent company may not be cruelty-free, some brands under its umbrella follow strict no-animal-testing policies and are considered cruelty-free.
Some consumers avoid brands with non-cruelty-free parents, while others support the cruelty-free brand itself. We provide this info so you can decide what feels right for you.
Is Rembrandt Sold Where Animal Testing Is Required By Law?
It’s unclear if Rembrandt is available for sale in countries with mandatory animal testing.
In countries like China, some cosmetics still face mandatory animal testing, especially when sold in physical stores.
China has historically required animal testing, but since 2023, brands can enter the Chinese market without funding animal testing. Just remember that while China is easing its rules, not all brands sold there are automatically cruelty-free. Read our detailed guide on Animal Testing Laws In China to learn more.
Is Rembrandt Vegan?Â
No, Rembrandt is not vegan.This means that some of their products may contain animal-derived ingredients. Rembrandt might offer some vegan products, however because this company is not cruelty-free, it’s recommended to avoid any products they offer even if they are vegan.
A brand is considered 100% vegan when all its products contain no animal-derived ingredients. Some brands may offer only a selection of vegan products rather than a fully vegan lineup.Â
