Does SmartGames test on animals?
No, on the certified evidence — the SmartGames product we score carries a cruelty-free certification or label, which rules out animal testing of the finished product and its ingredients.
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.

"Yes" means a matching certification, label or material note is recorded for that product; "Unverified" means we hold no evidence either way, not that the answer is no.
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.
