I decided my system of having two lists, one for international cruelty-free-certified companies, and one for U.S. cruelty-free-certified companies, was kind of a pain. So, I’ve decided to put all the 100%-animal-testing-free companies I could find in one place. Here they are!:
It is my policy to only list companies that subscribe to the Humane Cosmetics Standard on my list of 100%-cruelty-free companies. The Humane Cosmetics Standard is the gold standard in cruelty-free cosmetics. It is an internationally recognized standard that requires companies to promise to never test their finished products on animals, and make their suppliers pledge to never supply them with ingredients that have been tested on animals (animal testing at the ingredient stage is quite possible). The end result is products that are 100% free from any animal testing. Some of these companies have paid a fee to license the leaping bunny logo, and they agree to be audited every three years to make sure they are complying with the Humane Cosmetics Standard.
Many countries have an organization that certifies companies as following the Humane Cosmetics Standard, and therefore being 100%-animal-testing-free. In the U.S., they are certified by the Coalition for Consumer Information in Cosmetics. In the U.K., they are certified by GoCrueltyFree. In Australia they are certified by ChooseCrueltyFree. In Finland, they are certified by Animalia. In France, they are certified by One Voice. In Austria, they are certified by Vier Pfoten. (If I’ve missed any coalitions that certify 100%-cruelty-free organizations, please let me know! I found most of these on the ECEAE’s list of member coalitions, and I went through all of the ECEAE’s member coalitions looking to see if they had a list of 100%-cruelty-free companies. Unfortunately I do not speak any of the languages these websites are in, so it is quite possible I missed a list of cruelty-free companies somewhere.)
I only buy products from companies that are on one of these lists — not only do I believe they are reputably cruelty-free, in the sense that they aren’t lying to me about being cruelty-free the way many, many companies do — but also I really like the idea of having a go-to list somewhere I can access. I think it’s really useful. So while I get many requests to add this or that company to my list because they “really are cruelty-free despite not being on one of these lists,” I won’t do it, because I figure those companies either aren’t really cruelty-free if they aren’t willing to be certified by a Humane-Cosmetics-Standard-upholding organization, or they annoyingly think they’re too good for a list made by an organization that goes out of its way (and incurs a great deal of expense) to provide to the public, free of charge, a really wonderful resource. (Though this is just my opinion — if you have researched cruelty-free issues and have come to have a different opinion from me, I do not mind at all! Really. I would never presume to tell anyone what to think.)
