Do you buy cruelty-free cosmetics? Why that’s no guarantee..

If you love animals - and makeup - look for more than “cruelty-free” on the label...

That phrase doesn’t guarantee that the product wasn’t tested on animals. Believe it or not, the same is true for the phrase “no animal testing.” Neither of those are legally defined. There’s also a chance the suppliers of the ingredients are less than humane.

There is one way to know that those cosmetics, personal care or household products are animal friendly. Look for the Leaping Bunny logo on the label. That lets you know that product adheres to the standards developed by a coalition of several animal-protection groups.
