Consumer safety has always been a top priority at The Estée Lauder Companies Inc.  We are committed to selling only safe products and work diligently to ensure that our formulations and packaging meet our exceedingly high standards and comply with applicable regulations in every country in which our products are sold.

Our approach to safety evaluation requires collaboration of efforts and expertise across  biological, microbiological, toxicological,  and dermatological sciences.  Every product must meet or exceed our stringent safety standards as well as our high standards for ingredient preservation and stability, product efficacy and compatibility.

All Estée Lauder finished products are evaluated in clinical tests on human volunteers, as well as by referencing numerous scientific databases.  It is our policy not to conduct animal testing, or to ask others to conduct such testing on our behalf, unless required by law.

We are proud of the enviable safety record The Estée Lauder Companies Inc. has sustained since our Company was founded in 1946, and of our continued commitment to developing and marketing products of the highest quality.
