In order to ensure that a brand is completely cruelty free, doesn’t test on animals at any point during the production of their products, I reach out to them through email. Here is my email exchange with Not Your Mother’s…
Good morning,
I’m Svetlana, the founder of Ethical Bunny – a website that features cruelty free brands and advocates for animal rights. Recently a follower of mine inquired about the cruelty free status of Not Your Mother’s so I wanted to reach out to you directly. Would you mind answering a couple questions?
- Are your finished products or individual ingredients tested on animals?
- Do you have a Leaping Bunny, CCF or PETA certification?
- Do you ensure that your suppliers (and any third parties involved in production) do not test on animals?
- Are your products sold in any retail locations in mainland China where animal testing is required by law?
- Additionally, are any of your products completely vegan?
Please get back to me at your earliest convenience. Thank you for your time!
