Subject: Re: Animal Testing
Thank you for your e-mail addressed to our Customer Service Department at Boots The Chemists Ltd.
Boots does not test any products or ingredients on animals and does not ask anybody to carry out testing on our behalf. (In the case of cosmetics and toiletries, we have not carried out tests on animals for over 25 years).
Because we are manufacturers as well as retailers, we know that some animal testing is still carried out by others to meet regulatory requirements and protect public health.
These safety tests may sometimes involve ingredients of the type used in products which we manufacture and sell. This is not just true of Boots. It applies to most companies involved in the manufacture or retailing of consumer products.
We would like to see an end to all animal tests and support the development of alternative forms of safety testing.
I hope this makes our position entirely clear and reassures you.
Kind regards,
Samantha Rymer, Customer Service, Boots The Chemists Ltd, PO Box 5300, Nottingham, NG90 1AA
