Which term describes brands or products that do not test on animals at any stage of production?

• A. Cruelty-Free
• B. Non-Toxic
• C. Vegan
• D. Hypoallergenic

Answer: (A)

Cruelty-free means brands or products do not test on animals at any stage of production. This label targets testing practices directly—no testing of ingredients, the finished product, or by suppliers for cosmetics. The other terms describe different ideas: non-toxic is about safety for humans, vegan refers to no animal-derived ingredients (not necessarily no animal testing), and hypoallergenic means the product is less likely to cause allergies (not about testing). In short, cruelty-free is the best fit because it specifically addresses whether animal testing is used.
