Let’s take a look at the details.
Is Ouidad sold in China?
No, Ouidad products are NOT sold in physical stores in mainland China.
Why can’t cruelty free brands sell in mainland China?
Animal testing is still mandatory for all imported products sold in physical stores in mainland China.
Pre-market animal testing is required for all imported products, and non-routine post-market testing on animals may also be done in cases of customer complaints.
However, please keep in mind that this doesn’t apply to products sold in stores at the airports, or in Hong Kong.
Also, products can be sold online and shipped to mainland China without being tested on animals.
Is Ouidad owned by a parent brand? If yes, is it cruelty free?
Ouidad is owned by Beauty By Imagination.
Beauty By Imagination also owns these brands: WetBrush, Goody, Bio Ionic, Solano and ACE. All of these brands only sell hair styling tools and accessories and don’t offer any cosmetics products.
Since none of the brands under Beauty By Imagination test on animals, Ouidad’s parent company is considered cruelty free.
Is Ouidad vegan?

Although they do have vegan options, some Ouidad products do contain animal-derived ingredients or by-products.
