Edgewell Personal Care Company Policy Statement on Animal Testing

Edgewell Personal Care Company Policy Statement on Animal Testing At Edgewell, we manufacture and sell a wide range of consumer products sold around the world. It is our policy to avoid animal testing on our products whenever possible. The majority of our products, including all of those in the following product lines, are never tested on animals. • Razor and blade products such as Schick, Wilkinson Sword and Personna; • Shaving gels and creams such as Edge and Skintimate; • Skin care products such as Wet Ones; • Feminine care pads and liners such as Stayfree and Carefree; • Infant care products Edgewell only performs animal testing on products where required to do so by law, or where no acceptable alternative exists to assess the safety of a product for consumer use. Consumer Product Safety Testing The significant majority of our safety testing is carried out through non‐animal procedures, and our research and development teams strive to adopt alternative testing methods where it is possible to avoid animal testing. Testing Required by Law While the law in the EU specifically bans animal testing, there are still jurisdictions, including the United States, where animal testing is the only accepted method of obtaining regulatory approval to market certain products. We submit non‐animal based testing results prior to or concurrently with animal testing results where possible in order to educate regulators on non‐animal alternative methods that provide the same or better toxicological results. Additionally, we participate in efforts to improve the awareness among regulators about non‐animal alternatives. .
