Cruelty-Free Practices At Savessi Beauty, we prioritize the safety and well-being of our consumers, adhering to stringent regulatory standards globally. Since our inception, we have been a cruelty-free brand, firmly believing in the ethical treatment of animals. We have not engaged in animal testing since our establishment and are convinced that such practices are unnecessary for verifying product safety. Modern scientific advancements offer alternative, non-animal testing methods, which we actively utilize and support. Our commitment extends to backing research initiatives and organizations like the Institute for In Vitro Sciences (IIVS), which advocate for the widespread adoption of these humane testing methods. While some countries still require animal testing, Savessi Beauty is dedicated to working with industry partners and regulatory bodies to promote the acceptance of non-animal testing methods globally.
