Koh Gen Do employs the In Vitro safety testing method. It has been accepted as a substitute for animal testing and is used worldwide as a scientifically reliable method to test the safety of a product.  Still, many cosmetics manufacturers continue to use animals for testing despite the availability of the In Vitro method.  Generally speaking, several hundred animals are used for one test.  By the time a product reaches the retail level, some tens of thousands of animals have been sacrificed.  Why then, does animal testing continue?

There are about three thousand raw ingredients approved for domestic use in cosmetics.  These ingredients alone can form superior cosmetics products.

Koh Gen Do does just that. We use plant extracts and other ingredients from nature whose safety has been proven throughout history to create cosmetics products.

Out of respect for our skin, we do not use artificial fragrances, petroleum-based mineral oil or synthetic pigments.

We believe that animals shouldn't have to sacrifice their lives for our pursuit of beauty.  It is time to end this sad chapter in cosmetics history.
