Te Protejo
Te Protejo certifies that a brand’s products, and every ingredient in them, have not been tested on animals, by the brand or its suppliers, in any country. It covers cosmetics, personal care, household cleaning and pet care brands. Brands choose to apply and pay a yearly fee, and Te Protejo reviews the evidence itself. It is run by Te Protejo, a non-profit founded in Chile in 2012 that campaigns to end animal testing in Latin America
