Hello,
I’m confused with all the ‘cruelty-free’ lists out there and which one is ‘the official’ one. I thought leaping bunny was ‘the one’ but a lot of brands on other lists, like yours (crueltyfreekitty), are not on leaping bunny’s list. And neither are brands like Dr Hauschka, despite their statement above so how to be 100% sure?
Thank you
Sabrina
Leaping Bunny is the best indicator of a brand being cruelty-free, but not every brand takes on the process of becoming certified. I email brands to find out what their policies are in order to make my list, hence why some brands on my list are not on Leaping Bunny. PETA is also a solid list but isn’t 100% reliable.
