Cassandra Bankson If you think returning a Nars product to Sephora is going to do anything good, there's no hope for you intellectually. Nars is gaining a huge market in being able to sell to China. The only thing these childish returns will do is force Sephora not to carry Nars, as it is now costing them money as well. How vain, to waste products not made using animal testing, simply to make yourself look "moral". The pollution and carbon emissions produced to replace the cosmetics is harmful to animals. Try to maintain some self-consistency for once.

[@defiantkitty6525]

Are you a BOT or something because you keep repeating yourself.

[@ellesteph]

LINGINKILMBIOIII GLINGOBOYT BIARB go home Pollution and carbon emissions from people returning goods would be negligible when compared to the amount that come from entering the Chinese market. Stop talking out of your ass, not everything people do is for appearances

[@SageOfTruth1111]

I actually have just returned all my Nars cosmetic back to Sephora, I love makeup but not in the name of hurting a animal at any cost. I love my cat and all animals they deserve to be left the hell alone!

[@ryanwalker78]

Natassha D How vain, to waste products not made using animal testing, simply to make yourself look "moral". The pollution and carbon emissions produced to replace the cosmetics is harmful to animals. Your hypocrisy harms animals.

[@SageOfTruth1111]

LINGINKILMBIOIII GLINGOBOYT BIARB Dear I advise you to read better on these comments honey your empty reason for trying to bullying a "Moral Human" is not cutting it honey it's not working find someone else honey, But good job though for trying. Beat it Bitch! 🤣 ♡ Is that "Hypocrite" enough for you?

[@linat7526]

LINGINKILMBIOIII GLINGOBOYT BIARB youre over analysing, when she returns it she makes a statement, when many statemets are made, such as this video and lady returnin, it makes NARS change

[@linat7526]

Natassha D make up your mind, not getting what you said or not reading at all, its funny how you deleted your comment only to make a saltier one, when i was defending what you did

[@LittleMissCrista]

So disappointing. I don't know why a company would move backwards with their practices. The future is obviously going cruelty free. Cmon, Nars.

[@stellmelody]

LittleMissCrista I agree!! I have so much NARS and im so disappointed: (

[@samnoelle9090]

It's crazy what NARS is doing. Thank you for bringing this to light, I hadn't heard about this yet and I'm glad that now I know.

xoxo girlie, check out the "bottom tab" for beauty alternatives. Sending hugs!

This doesn't impact me, never had money for their products anyway!! 😂😂

[@CassandraBankson]

[@carmiebelle1343]

Unfortunately nars is very well promoted by bigger influencers...I reposted today KVDs post...1000000% agree

[@iluvhp87]

Does anyone else feel kind of overwhelmed trying to be cruelty free? I know some people consider brands cruelty free even if the parent companies test on animals but that just seems weird. I feel like I can't even buy paper towels without supporting some kind of huge company that tests on animals or pays employees poorly. Thanks for the information and for sticking up for the animals 😊

[@CassandraBankson]

iluvhp87 Babe, even as someone who eats and tries to live a vegan lifestyle I feel overwhelmed with attempting to be cruelty free. It's always a process and a journey, and education is a step along the way each time! I do feel that even if it's slow progress I'm trying. Perhaps take a similar mindset and just always do your best and keep an ear open to lean!

[@iluvhp87]

Cassandra Bankson I'm definitely going to be making better decisions about where my money goes to and like you said hopefully their wallets will hurt and they'll listen to the consumers

[@Dearmylove_i]

iluvhp87 It's definitely overwhelming and there's quite a learning curve to dealing with all this. When I first went cruelty free some years ago, I didn't know about parent companies and bought a bunch of Urban Decay products. When I learned more, I felt sick to my stomach and knew that parent company testing wasn't something I was okay with. I was so disappointed in myself for my ignorance but these things happen. Don't give up! I can say I'm a lot happier now, knowing that I'm only supporting brands that share my values, compared to when I was still buying whatever. As long as you do your best, you're making a positive change to be proud of! 😘

[@uxhuva]

iluvhp87, I share your thoughts and feelings about this issue. I honestly don't know where to look anymore when it comes to making more conscious and considerate purchases. How to be a more responsible consumer with the environment when it seems our mere existence is a threat. :/

[@iluvhp87]

uxhuva see that's exactly what I mean but we have to at least try. Even just minimizing our bad habits can help though. It starts with not purchasing from Nars and just researching these companies like Estee Lauder that does test on animals and not buying from them. Let's support brands that are cruelty free like Kat Von D

[@Nour.001]

Thank you for supporting this video with actual facts, others would just state their own opinions. You 100% owned my respect by changing my own views towards animals testing♡

[@CassandraBankson]

My pleasure love. Thanks for acknowledging it.

[@vongaitakavarasha9337]

I don't think any cosmetic company is cruelty-free. They may not test on animals themselves but the ingredients they use have a good chance to have been animal tested, because they need to be approved by regulatory bodies around the world. I am also curious about how you people feel about medication since there is no alternative to animal testing in the pharmaceutical industry yet, only supplementary tests. keeping in mind animal testing is incredibly expensive and these companies are looking to make maximum profits. Why accept animal testing in one scenario and not the other? This really interests me as a future scientist!

[@User-vz4xm]

why? why don't you answer it yourself as a scientist? THINK! is the necessary? is the test effective? as the host has said there are better / alternative ways to test the cosmetic products. why still do it?

[@solsticemeows]

LOVE THIS!! I hope your video gets a billion views! Thank you so much for bringing awareness to this subject!!!! You were extremely thorough and your passion shines through.

[@Moonlights_scented]

Just some information on animal testing in China. The Chinese authorises have confirmed back in June 2014 that all Cosmetic products manufactured in China are no longer required to conduct animal testing, unless the products use new ingredients that are not registered with the Chinese government authorise as safe ingredients. Companies who Export products into The Chinese market must submit product samples when they first come into the Chinese market if the government authorities so request. The test will be a one-off test only on selective products nominated by the Chinese authorises. In general, such animal testing is only required when a product contains unknown ingredients which are not registered as a safe ingredient with the government authorities. In this case, Nars will be submitting sample products as per request by the Chinese government authorities for a once off test if the products they wanted to sell contain un-registered ingredients. Nars does not have to conduct animal testing by the company itself if they wanted to sell to the Chinese market, as the testing will be done only by the accredited labs nominated by the Government authorises. It would be a different case, if Nars conduct animal testing itself for other reasons. There are so many human being suffering, but I don't see people care much about them more than those animals. Unless one is vegan, as a human being, our activities do harm animals one way or another. Eating beef,drinking milk and put a turkey into the oven is ok, but eating other animals are not? Animal testing is worse than putting wild animals in the zoo and trap them for their entire life? Medical schools students kill hundreds of bunnies and rats to practice their skills before they become our surgeons... which way of hurting and killing is more justified than the other? I just don't get the point. Maybe I am just one selfish human being myself. But I don't judge others just based on one event or one decision. A brand needs to survive. Nars needs a bigger market and China is the market they wanted to enter. Just saying.

[@AliceintheRabbitHole]

reneechen99 well said

[@user-dg8ie8kk9u]

OMG! I am totally agreed with you! we are eating animals every single day. KFC, McDonald's sells and kills chickens way more than those animals which died because of animal testing. Why are they only focus on animal testing? Do those chickens different than rabbits and rats? Before a new drug came out they also need to test on animals too. why no body against with that? I don't get it too!

[@lisamarie686]

reneechen99 you should make a KZbin video on your comment to NARS cruelty free to not o:

[@electrictwilight]

Thank you! There is so much hyperbole about "cruelty free" on KZbin and its nice to see a rational explanation.

[@melz6625]

reneechen99 One difference between eating animals and having them killed for cosmetics is that one is basic for survival (your cat isn't gonna say "yummy that salad") and the other is a luxury. So I for one have too many food allergies to grain/veggies and fruit to go vegan and be healthy. So I choose to eat animals for survival. I try to buy from people I know don't support the unnatural meat industry but do it more like our ancestors did with hunting. Don't prolong suffering. That is also why I don't condone zoos or circuses. Those serve no purpose but idle entertainment for the livelong suffering of animals.

[@sierrahoward7870]

I'll be buying more from Kat Von D and The Balm now (their products are better anyways). F**k Nars

[@sierrahoward7870]

Also, I love my Milani baked blush in Luminoso so much more than my Nars blush in Orgasm. TheBalm, Bahama Mama Bronzer = better than Nars Laguna bronzer (in my opinion). I'm getting rid of all my Nars makeup, I'm so disappointed in them. Thank you for making this video

[@CassandraBankson]

This hypocrisy puts the stupidity of modern America into focus.

[@mochuisle79]

Great video Cassandra, but i have to correct you on one point. The ban on EU testing simply means that testing cosmetics on animals cannot be carried out inside the borders of the EU. So a company can test, for example in a non eu country and still sell the product inside the EU. I thought the same as you for ages and assumed if I could buy a product in my local drugstore then it must be cruelty free. Unfortunatley not the case.

[@desdeelbalcondelavecina]

Cassy, you are fantastic at explaining things in a thorough way. This is so complete, as a journalist, I am inspired 💛

[@lexoos3544]

Yeah I try to avoid buying from brands who are not cruelty free. It is a luxury product, and we pay a lot of money for it, I am sure there is a better way to test these products. Good video thanks.

[@holypicklesmofo]

I don't exclusively by cruelty free makeup but saying they're cruelty free when they're not is horribly insulting to the consumer. Won't be purchasing again.

[@nature.mallow1242]

By 2018, Korea will be banning all animal testing. It is good news because Korea has one of the largest beauty industries! This comes to show that US CAN stop animal testing. In fact, many Korean brands are very supportive of the ban including, Amore Pacific, which is the largest Parent Brand in Korea. I hope US do gradually ban animal testing and China too.

[@CassandraBankson]

[@christinec4648]

Is Cassandra vegan? I certainly hope so. I'm totally against animal testing and agree with no longer supporting NARS. However, if you really want to help the animals, then stop paying people to slaughter them. It's another form of totally unnecessary animal cruelty. Like Cassandra said, your dollar is your vote!

[@klsynicl]

She is :)

[@planetChristie]

I said the same thing like people need to stop eating them first than talk about makeup testing 😂.

[@shandoesmakeupxo]

SO many things wrong with this. His name is Francois Nars not 'Francisco'.... Yes Nars has sold to Shiseido however Nars has not yet started to sell in China and will not sell in China until Mid-2018. Therefore your statement that 'Nars have been supporting animal testing ever since the acquisition' is false as they have not even launched in the continent yet. They also do not 'support' animal testing. Yes they are selling into a market that requires it by law but they spend thousands upon thousands of dollars a month supporting the IIVS (Institution for In Vitro Sciences)- a company at the forefront of discovering new ways to test cosmetics that will be accepted by Chinese government. Nars have also decided not to sell in China until mid 2018 because animal testing will become illegal in Korea and therefore a huge % of the population will be exempt from testing. You can not admit that there are cosmetic items that you use that are not cruelty free and then make a video like this. It is insanely hypocritical. You can't claim to boycott a company but then still gladly use other non-cruelty free products, whether you knew of that when you bought them or not. You are still 'supporting' the brand. Huge brands such as MAC, Estee Lauder, Lancome, YSL, Dior, Benefit, etc etc etc ALL test on animals and have never issued a public announcement to say that they will be doing so the way Nars did. They never lied to the consumer. As soon as they knew animal testing was going to happen within the brand they openly spoke about it. Also, your argument about companies selling in China without animal testing wouldn't be useful for anyone at all as the Asian customers would have to buy online and have the product shipped to them without ever being able to see it or try it on beforehand. This would cost the consumer a lot of money in shipping and return shipping and would not be helpful. As someone giving advice to the public I think it's important that you are giving correct information and a lot of the information in this video is incorrect.

[@allab0ut-fl0wers-74]

Chrisjoseph Roque Thank you! If they didn't support it they wouldn't be selling in China

[@lila.d3062]

It's clearly never to late to be against animal testing. Good for her. Poor animals😳

[@SaadiaKaamalahD]

That's the exact reason I stopped using Nars as well. I've been using Nars for just over 20 years, and when I found out they were acquired by Shiseido, I stopped, and never again. There's a problem with how many ingredients are acquired as well. Thank you for doing a very thorough video!

[@adamsandlersdad2283]

I love how honest this was, other channels would ignore this fact for the positive reputation and the money. You really are a good, honest, person trying to make a difference.

[@mayazhan8616]

Hello, I'm a Chinese. THANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS VIDEO!!! I feel so related after watched and against any kind of animal test. I actually did some research on Chinese law and makeup regulations. I totally agree animal testings are very wrong and unnecessary. However, since 2014 June, China stepped one step towards to stop hurting animals. They changed a part of the law. Local makeup companies don't need to do animal testing any more, but imported makeup products still need to do animal testing. Later on 2016, the government published policy(2016-2020) stated changing to system standard that setup by government and the market(makeup companies). On 2017, non-animal testings (ex:Non-animal 3T3 Infrared uptake phototoxicity test) have been approved as makeup safety assessment methods and some of the non-animal testings are approved to be industry standard testing methods. These testing are lower cost and more efficent. And as China joined WTO, its safety assessments will change towards to international standards, which what EU do. I noticed that some organizations in China are also working toward to ban the animal testing in China and educating the public. All in all, I know it's very WRONG and it's still an issue that needs to be solved IMMEDIETLY. I also believe that China is moving towards to a good direction! Sorry for my limited english! Welcome any updated relative laws or news!!!

[@hannahgal143]

Thanks for making this video Cassandra. So disgusting how people will abuse innocent animals all for capital gain, and it's important to know what brands are trying to blindside their customers.

[@luzcortez8667]

[@alexisjones2045]

I really want to know what you're doing to avoid palm oil. I've noticed a lot of beauty gurus who are that proclaim to be "cruelty free" are still purchasing products loaded with palm oil. Using products with palm oil is cruel, and it takes the lives of orangutans, rhinos, elephants, tigers, and more. And that's just some of the large mammals being affected, not the small. What are you doing @cassandrabankson

[@jonamberlee2948]

Thank you SO much for this. I had no idea that Nars had gone against it's former cruelty free stance! It's just sickening! I'm so pleased that you're educating everybody about this. ♡♡♡Amber

[@justmakingit2000]

I heard a story about protests on NPR that simply boycotting a brand does not work, but the media attention from the boycott WILL eventually affect their stock and when that happens that's when companies give in. Still all about the money, but that could work to our advantage too!

[@SandlingShay]

Damnit, Sheer Glow is the only foundation that works for my skin. Now I'll have to find something else. Thanks a lot, Nars! What a waste! But thank you Cassandra for bringing this to light for us!

[@yzl9176]

Well,since 2014, China has operated a program aimed at ending the use of animals in toxicity testing. Troy Seidle, head of the international animal protection society's animal protection movement, said: "this news from China has a milestone significance for this movement.

[@kap5497]

As a makeup addict and friend of lots of makeup addicts, I'm going to convince my friends to not use animal testing brands. It's terrible wat these animals have to go trough so we can were makeup. It's so sickening. Imagine your pet being tortured. Imagine you are in a cage terrified for the next agony that you will undergo.

[@brittyamanda]

Ugh I had no idea about this- I just purchased NARS products a few weeks ago- and now I will be returning them all and researching more on cruelty free brands. Thank you so much!

[@teilers84]

Thank you! I was just about to purchase some of my first Nars products to try out and now I will definitely pass. It's so hard to find the best products that are cruelty free but I'm trying to be mindful as I am such an animal lover. But seriously animal testing is SO HARD to avoid sometimes. I'd love a video on the best cruelty free products!!

[@silviafang795]

Just FYI, 100% pure doesn't have any counter or actual shelf in China, they had done it purely through E-commerce(not doing very well). But Nars will have actual counters.They have contacted lots of Chinese beauty gurus to increase the hype for the last couple months. So I guess that's why Nars cannot bypass the law.

[@LMonkeyBAd11]

thx you for bringing this to light. I did report about animal testing. it was horrible.

[@justStardust940]

Cassandra, these types of videos are very impactful! i like that you are using your fame to make a difference. Videos like these will really get companies to reevaluate their business models and deter future companies from do animal testing

[@tabithacheung4180]

Just out of curiosity... What do you guys think about testing new drugs and cancer treatments on animals?

[@farmvetsph]

cheung tabitha i doubt many of the people doing and watching these videos really read and researched on that topic.

[@MShaiqable]

I don't support any animal testing. I'd rather offer myself up than another animal be tortured. Does that answer your question?

[@tabithacheung4180]

Maheen Shaiq what about those patients that just want to be cured? Yes I admire your dedication but what if animal testing is necessary in some circumstances?

[@MShaiqable]

cheung tabitha That's why I said I'd rather volunteer myself than have an animal be tortured. At least I'll be consenting and know what's happening to me and be helping my own species. Animals get to no such luck.

[@vongaitakavarasha9337]

Currently animals are used along with other testing methods as there is no alternative good enough to replace it. Many drugs have also been developed from animal sources and nature still has many for us to discover. Even ingredients used by "cruelty free" make up companies will have been tested on animals for approval by regulatory bodies. So even though a cosmetic company may not test their product on an animal, it's still not cruelty free. All in all animal testing and other uses are still necessary. Technology has s very long way to go before it can truly replace it. Animal testing is expensive and pharma companies want to make money so bare that in mind. Also a drug takes many many years from discovery to bring on your shelf just to ensure it is safe, effective. That process continues even after product launch. Animal testing is bad but can you truly see a human being a suitable replacement?

[@lauracadenasrodriguez9973]

Go, Cassandra go💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

[@fionaquinn4200]

great video and yes it is time for us as consumers to take notice and not be hoodwinked by any of the beauty companies. no animal testing needs to be no animal testing at all and not just in one country. bigger companies need to adopt a better way of getting their products into a country without damaging animals or their integrity.

[@elfiebrocklehurst8839]

Why is China worried about harmful ingredients in makeup entering their country when they have the most polluted city in the world? Maybe worry about the air your breathe first. Then again, they dont seem to find affective solutions to their problems. Edit: there are so many successful brands that dont test on animals and dont have harmful ingredients. Just look at CoverFx

well actually body shop is doing what NARS did - they are owned by Loreal and loreal is not cruelty free (they say they stopped animal testings in 2013 however there is a note that "..unless it is required by law", because they sell in china. so in the end if you buy body shop your money goes to loreal which is not cruelty-free

[@juliegardner9228]

The body shop is no longer owned by L'Oréal

[@dianas2044]

according to their official website - it is www.loreal.com/brand/the-body-shop/the-body-shop

[@skrappyshatzz]

Diana S They were very, very recently sold to Natura Cosmetica.

[@nemoswan]

L'oreal just recently sold The Bodyshop to a Brazilian company Natura, who I believe are cruelty free. But as Cassandra said if we as consumers buy from the cruelty free brands more, than the parent companies might rethink their values.

[@stellmelody]

Diana S ah! I wad wondering why loreal said that on their website! Thanks for the clarification :)

[@kenwiththepen_]

I just want to understand why people would give this video a thumbs down, when this is factual information. People just need to educate themselves and understand that animal testing is not okay.

[@kimbasciano_]

To take a step backwards is so disappointing to me. I really hope that NARS reconsiders their decision & they actually listen to their customers. I am trying to go cf with my makeup, I have found some amazing cf brands! I love 100% Pure too- have you tried their healthy super fruit foundation? It's so good!! again, thank you for speaking about this. Animals are living, breathing creatures and humans have no right to treat them like science experiments. love you! xoxo

[@CassandraBankson]

Next time when you buy takeout coffee in non-recyclable plastic cup, when you buy jeans (use up to 40l of water in production of one pair), when you have all electronics on (esp when you electricity comes from coal burning)or when you driving and use a lot of gas. Just remember that ALL of it harms animals, not the ones that were born in the labs, but the real cuties.

Thank you so much for making this! I've been loving animals seince I got my first fish. Also I've been against animal testing for years now so the only cosmetic companies I buy from is lush and elf because I know I'm buying from a company that's not hurting animals or anyone

[@Drivenaway89]

Thank you for bringing this to light!!

[@soniasobaro9127]

I had the same experience with another makeup brand a couple of years ago, I would definitely use the products and would not buy them anymore. There are many smaller and more responsible brands out there.

[@efrainjones]

Girl,love your passion. Thank you for your information. 🤗👍

[@dianas2044]

just saw Kat von D's post yesterday, this is so sad, I loved NARS. but from now on won't buy it anymore

[@CoralRief43]

Do not repurchase Nars, but DONT throw away the makeup you already own! That's wasting product, bad for the environment, and it makes the animal cruelty all for nothing.

[@anyastraka-conway3653]

Can you please post a video on how you cleared your skin? I have been suffering with acne for 17 years and nothing works. I could really use the help. Thanks for all of the great videos.

[@maureengrubin876]

THANK YOU for taking a stand for good!!!

[@alexissantiago331]

Wow.. Can't believe this. Thanks for making this video!

[@AtlantaJule]

I loved there tinted moisturizer with spf 30 but I have alternative green beauty brands that can compare and at a lower to equal price.

[@alexandraegl]

[@samsula123]

Thank you soooo much for making this video! I shared it on Facebook

[@cookiekim8089]

[@beth263]

Thank you for making this video!!! I was going to try some of their products... I've definitely changed my mind though! I love Juice Beauty! It's helped my skin so much. I found them because of you! 😊

[@lizzydilorenzo839]

I love your eye makeup in this video you should do a tutorial of it 😍

[@alexandrajames6550]

I love this, I was very upset when I found out they are now testing on animals.

[@Tatayx0x0]

Never bought NARS and now never will. Been cruelty free for a while and love it!

[@citydoll22]

Great video, so important! I have one question: I live in Europe, if I would by NARS in Europe, is the product tested on animals as well? That also counts for other brands which are being sold in both Asia and Europe. This still confuses me

[@Mimi-ds3qd]

This is so important ❤❤ Thanks for sharing your opinion. Love from Argentina 🌹🌹

[@nybsbfan18]

It's sad that NARS is selling out...

[@itsbellenotbella3297]

I never tried Nars and I never will 🙅‍♀️ I thought Laura Mercier still tests.... a lot of websites say it still tests

[@dawnwang1558]

His name is Francois Nars, not Francisco

[@SephoraBelle]

I know Charlotte Tilbury indicated she would not be going into the China market on the grounds she didn't want to do animal testing. I know MAC was cruelty free, but once they expanded into the Chinese market they reverted over to animal testing.

[@irmalola2559]

Great video hun! Greetings from Australia xx
