Urban Decay Decides Not to Sell in China
After careful consideration of many issues, we have decided not to start selling Urban Decay products in China. While several factors were important in reaching this decision, ultimately we did not feel we could comply with current regulations in China and remain true to our core principles. We know there are many progressive consumers in China who would embrace an opportunity to purchase non-animal tested products – our hope remains that we have the chance to offer Urban Decay products to these consumers someday in the future.
Following our initial announcement, we realized that we needed to step back, carefully review our original plan, and talk to a number of individuals and organizations that were interested in our decision. We regret that we were unable to respond immediately to many of the questions we received, and appreciate the patience our customers have shown as we worked through this difficult issue.
Since our founding in 1996, we have been committed to ending animal testing in the cosmetics industry. As demonstrated by the renewed support we have received from organizations like PETA and the CCIC, this principle remains at our core. Urban Decay does not test its finished products on animals, nor do we allow others to test on our behalf, and we require our suppliers to certify that the raw materials used in the manufacture of our products are not tested on animals. Urban Decay is proud to be100% cruelty-free.

I will continue to support Urban Decay. They heard our pleads and decided to stick to being a no animal testing and vegan(some) brand. I think it is important to stick to values instead of becoming money hungry.

Of course, this is all about money.
UD must figure that there's less business to gain in China than there is to lose everyplace else. If UD's profits would definitely improve by going to China, they'd go. No question.
HST, yes I will purchase Urban Decay products. Regardless of why they decided to do the right thing, the point is that they did.
Thanks for the scoop on this!
I think it is fantastic that a massive company like Urban Decay isn't arrogant enough to ignore the views of their customers. Well done UD.
