quo beauty is shopper's line and it is cruelty-free. Usually if you can't find the "this is cruelty-free" type of info prominently displayed, it's a safe bet that it isn't and I can't find it for PC or Life. it may be product specific instead of brand-wide.

it might take a few days, but you can usually find a contact us email and ask. I do this for Korean brands when I can't read their website. (You dont need to use ALL photos!)

Cruelty free is an unregulated and undefined term that has no legal standard. I think there's a lot of misconception around animal testing, mainly the fact that it's done regularly by cosmetic brands. The fact is that brands don't conduct animal testing mainly because it's very very expensive. Other reasons include that it requires a lot of legal compliance and if you do test on animals, you're not able to sell your products in a lot of countries since countries have banned animal testing outright. Honestly cruelty free marketing is just to play on the consumers' feelings and it's actually illegal marketing tactics in the EU, as it gives an unfair marketing advantage because it applies that brands that aren't Leaping Bunny certified or whatever cruelty free certification test on animals, which is 100% not true.
