Does Babyganics test on animals?
Babyganics is owned by SC Johnson
Since 2016, Babyganics operates under SC Johnson. Parent-company policies (animal testing, palm oil sourcing, lobbying) can affect the ethics profile even when the sub-brand markets itself as independent.
The brand profile we hold states: Babyganics states it does not test on animals, but parent company Clorox may permit testing where required by law; no independent certification. We treat that as the brand's own claim until product records confirm it. We do not score any Babyganics products yet, so this has not been checked against certification records.
Animal testing rarely happens at the brand's own bench. The questions that decide the answer are whether suppliers test, whether the parent company tests, and whether the brand sells through channels that can require post-market testing.

How to check this yourself
Animal testing is decided across the whole supply chain. To confirm a brand's position:
- Search the brand on the Leaping Bunny or PETA databases — these check suppliers and ingredient testing, not just finished products.
- Check who owns the brand: a parent company's policy and markets can still involve testing.
- Ask whether products are sold where post-market animal testing can still be required, and whether the brand publishes a dated, supplier-wide policy.
