Make your purchases cruelty-free

Make your purchases cruelty-free

The Issue

Why purchase cosmetics, body care products, and household cleaners that have been torturously tested on animals if you don't have to? For every product whose development involved the torture of living beings, there's a similar product from another company for which no animal was harmed, leaving us with no excuse for not making the compassionate choice.

Order and consult cruelty-free guides. Carry one of the pocket guides in your back pocket or purse when you head to the store. And most importantly, check the labels. Companies that don't test on animals want you to know that, so look for "not tested on animals," "cruelty free," or the Leaping Bunny rabbit logo.
