Not certified either way, yet.
PETA lists only Goldwell's Dualsenses line (under Kao Germany) as cruelty-free, not the whole Goldwell brand, and I couldn't find Goldwell on Leaping Bunny / Cruelty Free International, so its cruelty-free status isn't verified. Owned by Kao Corporation.
🔍 parent company's testing policy is also unverified
Does Goldwell test on animals?
I couldn't find an animal testing policy or certification for Goldwell yet. The sources I checked are below.

Cruelty-free
Kao Corporation: its own animal testing policy · Goldwell: its own site on PETA certification ("Our Dualsenses and StyleSign ranges hold official PETA certification") · PETA: lists Goldwell Dualsenses (Kao Germany) as cruelty-free (this line only, not all of Goldwell)
