Leaping Bunny Program

About Me


The Leaping Bunny Program is administered by the Coalition for Consumer Information on Cosmetics (CCIC). Established in 1996, it serves both consumers and companies by certifying cosmetic, personal care, and household products as 'cruelty-free.' The Leaping Bunny Program operates a strict standard that is backed up by audits to ensure its companies are not testing on animals during any stage of product development. It also offers the most up-to-date list of cosmetic, personal care, and household product companies that are not engaged in animal testing.
