The Leaping Bunny Program Joins Naturity in Promoting Cruelty-Free Shopping
September 14, 2009
PHILADELPHIA-The Leaping Bunny Program, administered by the Coalition for Consumer Information on Cosmetics (CCIC), is pleased to announce a new partnership with Naturity LLC, a company dedicated to manufacturing products without the use of animal testing.
Last month,Naturity became one of over 250 cosmetic, personal care, and household product companies in the United States and Canada that has pledged to eliminate all new animal
testing from its product lines by joining the Leaping Bunny Program, the only cruelty-free certification program that compassionate consumers can truly trust. In addition, Naturity has pledged to donate 10% of the sales of its products purchased through www.LeapingBunny.org.
"We are thrilled to work with companies like Naturity that are going above and beyond to end animal testing," said CCIC Chair Sue Leary. "By becoming a Leaping Bunny partner,Naturity has committed not only to prevent needless animal testing for its own products, but also to help educate consumers and companies alike about the importance of manufacturing products with compassion."
"Naturity is excited about working with the Leaping Bunny Program," remarked Naturity Managing Member Anysia Kiel. "Now consumers can purchase great personal care products and help eliminate animal testing at the same time."
Companies certified through the Leaping Bunny Program make a voluntary pledge to eliminate animal testing from all stages of product development. The company's ingredient suppliers make the same pledge and the result is a product guaranteed to be 100 percent free of new animal testing. All Leaping Bunny companies must be open to independent audits, and commitments are renewed on an annual basis.
