To assess whether brands are cruelty-free, I always start with the company’s official animal testing policy on their website.
On RoC’s website, they claim that they don’t conduct animal testing however, “certain governmental regulatory authorities require it for safety or regulatory purposes.”
See below for a screenshot of what’s currently stated on RoC’s website:
Based on their statement, RoC Skincare states that certain government officials require animal testing of their products for safety or regulatory purposes. RoC continues to state that the company itself does not mandate animal testing anywhere in the world and that these agencies conduct their animal testing independently.

But truly cruelty-free brands will never allow their products or ingredients to be tested on animals, regardless of who is conducting them. Cruelty-free companies have a policy where if the law requires their products to be tested on animals, then they will refuse to sell their products under those conditions.
For example, imported cosmetics sold in stores in mainland China are required by Chinese laws to be tested on animals upon registration. Therefore, truly cruelty-free brands have chosen not to sell in China in order to remain committed to their no animal testing policy.
Unfortunately, RoC Skincare state they allow their products and ingredients to be tested on animals if the law requires it. For those reasons, RoC is NOT cruelty-free.
Cruelty-Free Policies
At ethical elephant, we always assess a company’s cruelty-free policy using our Cruelty-Free Checklist. This ensures no animal testing was performed by the brand itself, its suppliers, and by any third parties, including when required by law.

Is RoC Vegan?
❌ RoC is NOT vegan. RoC does not claim or market itself to offer any vegan-friendly options. And since RoC engages in animal testing in some capacity, we wouldn’t consider any RoC products vegan anyways.
In order for products to be considered vegan by ethical elephant’s standards, the products and their ingredients must not be tested on animals anywhere in the world. Also, they must not contain any animal-derived ingredients or by-products.
