This page is part of our public exclusion list — a transparency tool that shows which companies we screen out and why. It is not investment advice, and it is not an accusation. But it is subject to change as our understanding of the facts evolves.

Animal Testing & Research
Since Jan 3, 2022

Edgewell Personal Care Co manufactures and markets consumer products, including Playtex tampons, Hawaiian Tropic sun care, and Wet Ones hand wipes. The company’s business model relies on animal testing for product development and regulatory compliance. According to Cruelty Free Investors, Edgewell is flagged for commercial exploitation of animals, placing it within a broad category for companies whose animal-related activities are not covered by more specific child codes.

The evidence gathered does not provide specific details on the scale, methods, or regulatory context of Edgewell’s animal testing operations. A review of provided sources, which include legal complaints and pharmaceutical litigation summaries, does not yield concrete information about the company’s animal testing practices, the species involved, or the volume of animals affected. This evidence gap prevents a more detailed narrative of the specific conduct triggering this exclusion.

Companies appear on our exclusion list based on our investment judgment — not because they've done anything illegal. This is a difference of values and opinion, not an accusation of wrongdoing. Exclusion does not constitute a recommendation against investing in any company, and absence from the list does not constitute a recommendation to invest.

This information is provided for educational and transparency purposes only and should not be relied upon as investment advice. Data is drawn from independent watchdogs, NGOs, government registries, and Ethical Capital's ongoing research — see Research Sources for the full list.
