Skin care company Skin all natural, Apex, NC, has joined the Coalition for Consumer Information on Cosmetics' (CCIC) Leaping Bunny Program. Companies certified through the program make a voluntary pledge to clear animal testing from all stages of product development, and the company's ingredient suppliers make the same pledge. All Leaping Bunny companies must be open to independent audits, and commitments are renewed on an annual basis.
CCIC's Leaping Bunny Program administers a cruelty-free standard and the internationally recognized Leaping Bunny Logo for companies producing cosmetic, personal care, and household products.
"By joining the Leaping Bunny Program, Skin all natural has taken a clear stand against animal testing. Respect for people, animals, and environment is the basis of our ethical commitment,” the company said in a press statement.
There are eight national animal protection groups behind the CCIC: American Anti-Vivisection Society, American Humane Association, Animal Alliance of Canada,Beauty Without Cruelty USA, Doris Day Animal League, The Human Society of Canada, The Humane Society of the US and the MSPCA Center for Laboratory Animal Welfare.
