Hey guys.
 So I received a reply from a Urban Decay representative in regards to selling in China.

My question:

"[names are omitted],Thank you for your correspondence. I have one question, that wasn't addressed in the link you provided. Does UrbanDecay sale in China? If so, how does the company get around the Chinese animal testing policy? Thank you in advance.Camila Alvarez "

Response:

"Hi Camila,We currently do not sell our products in China.Best Regards,[any names will be omitted]"

So, as you can see Urban Decay is completely cruelty-free. 

1. their "raw materials" are not tested on animals. 

2. nor are their final products

3.they DO NOT sell in China 

4. they have many vegan products 

5. They are listed on PETA's and Leaping Bunny's list of Cruelty-free companies.

6. I will be adding them to my cruelty-free list, once it's done. Unless, new information arises.

For now, I would feel comfortable buying their products. Not that I will anytime soon, I'm a college student after all. This view might change if, like i mentioned new information arises. 

It's difficult to know 100%, that a company is cruelty-free. That's why it's important of us to petition and to ask, and ask, and ask, for these companies to go cruelty-free. It's the power of the many. Vote with your money for cruelty-free companies. Hopefully, someday we will live in a society that values the life's of animals. A society, that see's them as friends rather than petri-dishes.

P.S. Leave your opinion or/and feedback. I would love to hear people's opinions.
