Cruelty-free is a movement that opposes animal torture through experiments, hence the term "cruelty-free." It primarily refers to beauty and personal hygiene products, as well as household cleaning products, that do not involve animal testing in their manufacturing process.

Types of animal experiments include injections of toxic substances, exposure to radiation and toxic gases, force-feeding, deliberate stress, genetic modification, and more. Laboratory animals are often bred for the purpose of experimentation, the most common being rats, mice, rabbits, fish, monkeys, and birds. That's why, if you want to contribute to the cruelty-free movement, we recommend giving your friends Skin & Tonic products this Christmas.

How can I identify cruelty-free products?

To recognize cruelty-free brands, you should look for the seal certifying that they are cruelty-free. The Leaping Bunny International program is the world's standard of excellence for cruelty-free certifications. This is the most comprehensive program; its seal is the strongest guarantee that a product is cruelty-free.

We also recommend checking whether the brand sells in China, as until last year, brands selling their products in this country were required to test on animals. You can also check the websites of organizations that provide cruelty-free certification, as they have lists and verified information on different brands and their production processes.

Finally, there are apps that allow you to scan a product's barcode and check if it's cruelty-free. Some examples include Happy Bunny, Cruelty Cutter, Think Dirty, and Bunny Free.
