At Abundant Natural Health, we're committed to creating effective products inspired by nature, that not only benefits your skin but also align with ethical and sustainable practices. One of the most significant commitments we have made is to be Cruelty Free Certified. But what does this mean, and why is it so important for both brands and consumers?
What Does Cruelty Free International Certification Mean?
Cruelty Free International is a globally recognised organisation dedicated to ending animal testing for cosmetic, personal care and household products. Their Leaping Bunny certification is the gold standard for cruelty-free commitments, ensuring that a brand and its ensure supply chain are free from animal testing at every stage of the process.
For Abundant Natural Health, this certification represents more than just a label - it is a promise to our customers that our products are developed with compassion, integrity, and respect for all living beings.
Why is a Cruelty-Free Certification Important?
-
Ethical Responsibility
Animal testing is outdated, unnecessary and cruel. Advancements in science have provided alternative methods, such as in-vitro testing and computer modelling, which are not only humane but also more reliable. By choosing cruelty-free brands, we are advocating for a world where no animals suffer for the sake of beauty and skincare.
-
Transparency and Consumer Trust
Being Cruelty Free certified means that our processes undergo strict audits to ensure compliance with ethical standards. This level of transparency reassures consumers that they are supporting a truly cruelty-free brand, rather than falling for misleading marketing claims, also known as greenwashing.
-
Encouraging Industry Change
Every cruelty-free purchase sends a message to the beauty and personal care industry that animal testing is unacceptable. When more brands commit to cruelty-free practices, the demand for unethical testing diminishes, ultimately pushing the industry toward humane alternatives.
How Can Consumers Make Good Choices?
- Look for the Leaping Bunny Logo - This globally recognised symbol guarantees that a product is genuinely cruelty-free.
- Research Brands - Not all 'cruelty free' claims are legitimate. Websites like Cruelty Free International provides a list of certified brands.
- Support Ethical Companies - Choosing brands like Abundant Natural Health means your purchase aligns with your values, supporting ethical and sustainable health, beauty and home.
By making informed choices, consumers play a crucial role in shaping a future where no animal suffers for products. Together, we can make cruelty-free the standard, not the exception.
