But that’s why it’s so nice that there are some gems who actually have scientifically backed formulations, or even better: contribute to science by doing studies and creating new categories!

Aren't the majority of skin care things (and makeup) tested on animals though?

i mean if it is required for safety reasons then that's okay imo

It's not required though, many companies do just fine without the testing on animals while still being compliant.

Often those companies just use ingredients and formulations that have been tested on animals by other companies and the patent has run out/it is not patented. Companies doing animal testing probably would not do animal testing on such products too. Most companies try to avoid costs.
