There is an abundance of brands that test on animals. Some beauty brands that test on animals that used to be cruelty-free have also started testing on animals to join the markets where animal testing is required by law, for example, in China.
L’Oréal isn’t a cruelty-free company and can conduct animal testing on its own, through suppliers, or a third party.
Benefit has addressed that they paid for animal tests done for their products in China and don’t test on animals unless required by law. Animal testing is required in mainland China. Hence their products are sold there as well.

MAC
MAC is downplaying its role in animal experimentation and employing strong language to suggest a completely cruelty-free company, but it is false, and their policy is misleading.
Rimmel London
Rimmel London confirms that they do not test finished products on animals, but they also state that they do so in mainland China where it is mandated by law. Also, there’s no mention of their sources or substances, either.
Clinique is not a cruelty-free company and may test on animals directly or involving a third party. Even though Clinique claims not to test on animals, they do so through third parties.
