Victory! Nature’s Gate Ends Sales in China
Rabbits are on a roll! Natural-products giant Nature’s Gate just became the fourth company to pull out of the Chinese market until the country stops requiring tests on animals for cosmetics. After talks with PETA, Nature’s Gate agreed that there is nothing pretty about tormenting animals in laboratories, and the company chose to forgo the large Chinese market, rather than sacrificing its commitment to being cruelty-free.

PETA is proud to give Nature’s Gate our Courage in Commerce Award for its dedication to offering a wide array of quality personal-care and beauty products without harming animals anywhere in the world.
And Nature’s Gate is in good company: Paul Mitchell, Dermalogica, and Pangea Organics have all pulled their products out of China in order to save animals’ lives, and many more companies, such as Urban Decay and NYX, have refused to sell in China until the animal testing requirements are lifted. As a result, these conscientious companies are being rewarded with even more customer support, and with the help of the scientists PETA is helping to fund, China is prepping to approve its first non-animal testing method.
Please join us in thanking Nature’s Gate, and continue to support companies that don’t test on animals by checking PETA’s online list of companies that do and that don’t test on animals.
