Today’s post is about Go Cruelty Free, a website
dedicated to giving us every day alternatives to products that have been tested
on animals. Statistics indicate that an estimated 19.5 million
animals die each year as a result of animal testing in the US alone!
Many
of the products on our supermarket shelves, from lipsticks to floor cleaners,
have either been tested on animals or contain ingredients that have.
While some products carry
labels claiming that their brand is ‘not
tested on animals’ or is ‘against
animal testing’, these are often confusing and do not guarantee that the
product is actually free from animal testing. Only the Leaping
Bunny can provide peace of mind.
Products bearing the Leaping
Bunny mark are certified ‘cruelty
free’ under the internationally-recognised Humane Cosmetics or Humane
Household Products Standards.
These rigorous standards
stipulate that no animal testing is conducted or commissioned for finished
products or ingredients in any phase of product development by the company, its
laboratories or its suppliers after a fixed cut-off date.
A broad range of personal care,
cosmetic and household products carry the Leaping Bunny mark. Using the search tool you can find ‘cruelty-free’ products such as skin, hair, foot and
dental care, fragrances, make-up, nail care, baby care and aromatherapy
products, as well as a wide range of household cleaners from dishwasher
detergents to disinfectants.
