“KAO conduct world-class research and quality management to ensure all products are in compliance with safety and quality expectations and regulations.
We do not conduct or commission Animal Testing. Our products are fully compliant with the EU ban on animal testing for cosmetic products that’s been in place since 2004.”
Kenra
To date Kenra have not clarified our request for information on their cruelty free policies directly however we are reasonably confident they are compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 30 November 2009 which bans testing of cosmetic products on animals.

- Unilever is committed to the elimination of animal testing; and is equally committed to consumer health and safety.
- We do not test any of our finished products on animals and most of our products reach consumers without any of their ingredients having been tested on animals.
- Where some testing is required by law or currently unavoidable, we aim to minimize the number of animals used.
- Our scientists play a leading role internationally, working with key academic, government and NGO scientists to lead the development and application of non-animal approaches for assessing consumer safety.
- We will never compromise on the safety of our products, and will not market products unless we have robust scientific evidence that they are safe for consumers, our workforce and the environment.
For more information about our position and progress in developing non-animal approaches, see our website: http://www.unilever.com/sustainable-living/Respondingtostakeholderconcerns/testing/

Maria Nila
We are not the usual haircare brand. Our 100% vegan and cruelty free products are developed out of love for animals, as they should not be part of haircare products. By providing high quality vegan beauty, we make it easy for everyone to take a step towards a sustainable and friendlier world.
By choosing Maria Nila, you choose cruelty free, climate friendly and colour protecting haircare produced in Sweden. Our chemists develop our products with carefully chosen ingredients that make a difference for clients, salons, animals and the environment. We have our own product development, production, filling and warehouse in our factory in Helsingborg, Sweden, and from here we ship all over the world.
Our safety and quality checks in every step of the production chain assure that our products have the highest possible quality, in every single unit. By driving and controlling the entire process from concept to product, we are able to guarantee healthy working conditions and high quality formulas.
When you buy our products, you contribute to planting new trees to our world!
Maria Nila is proud to work with Zeromission and Plan Vivo! We support the project Taking Root. Taking Root collaborates with farmers in some of the poorest parts of the world for reforestation of forests. This is achieved by encouraging farmers to replant the under-utilized parts of their farms in exchange for direct payments. The farmers families are offered an income and the project helps to mitigate the effects of climate change. Farmers can work on a long-term basis and focus on caring for the forest instead of shutting down for economic results in the short term.
All Other Sundries & Supplies
We constantly review everything we use in order to see if we can replace it with something renewable or more environmentally friendly. Anything that requires washing will be done according to manufacturer’s guidelines on lowest recommended temperatures.
