Yes. AMELIORATE Body Lotion has undergone a full independent safety assessment and is considered safe to use during pregnancy.

This product contains an Alpha Hydroxy Acid (AHA) that may increase skin’s sensitivity to the sun and particularly the possibility of sunburn. Dermatologists recommend using sunscreens whenever you expose your skin to the sun. 

No. Animal testing of cosmetics is now illegal in Europe and has been for some time. Ingredients designed for cosmetics use only also come under this ban so thankfully this horrible practice is becoming a thing of the past. All the testing performed on AMELIORATE products (and we did a lot!) were performed on people both for safety and efficacy.
