So glad to hear you're thinking of encouraging real cruelty free products. :) Josie -- you're quite right! But I like to think of it more as we're giving Clorox money for good behavior, and rewarding good behavior is always a good idea! Michelle — no problem! So glad to hear you’re thinking of encouraging real cruelty free products. :)

This is a terrific site. I think I'll try to encourage my market to offer other actual cruelty-free products in addition to the Clorox Green products. I really appreciate your insight!

Gosh, your Clorox question is tricky. I guess I personally wouldn't buy any Clorox green products because I wouldn't want to give Clorox any money for testing on animals. But putting that aside for the moment (and I fully understand that sometimes you just don't have any options at your local supermarket!), I think you're spot on with your thoughts about buying Clorox green products -- i.e., it's a GREAT way to encourage Clorox to go green. In effect, you're giving money to Clorox to be nice to the environment -- it's a FAR more effective way of encouraging Clorox to be nice to the environment than boycotting Clorox products or protesting Clorox with signs. You're helping the environment! Regards, Emily Dear Michelle,

You’re very welcome!

I had no idea Clinique tests on animals. I just tossed one of their lipsticks in the trash. I do have one question about the new Clorox "green" products. I bought them out of desperation (local grocer doesn't carry many options) and sort of feel that by buying them, maybe Clorox will go completely green one of these years or at least continue to make such products available to the mass market. What are your comments? Thanks! Emily, thanks so much. I had no idea Clinique tests on animals. I just tossed one of their lipsticks in the trash.

Glad to be of help! You'd think some organization would do a combined no-animal-testing and no-animal-byproducts certification. But I haven't found one. Though Vegan Action does have a good list -- I think most, if not all of the stuff on it is CCIC-approved and certified vegan. Oh good. Glad to be of help!
