Biological Preparations is proud to announce that our UK-leading biotech brand, BioHygiene, has been approved by Cruelty Free International under the globally recognised Leaping Bunny programme. This means our customers can trust that we rigorously assess our supply chain to ensure that we have done all we can to remove animal testing from both our finished products and supply chain.
At BioHygiene, we believe protecting life and wellbeing extends beyond humans - it includes animals too. While animal testing in the cleaning industry has declined over the past 20 years, some products still rely on it. With so many ‘cruelty-free’ claims circulating, the Leaping Bunny Programme remains the gold standard - offering the most credible assurance that a brand is truly committed to doing all that they can to end animal testing.
Who Are Cruelty Free International and the Leaping Bunny Programme?
Cruelty Free International is the leading organisation working to end animal testing worldwide. They raise awareness and respond to global consumer demand by supporting leading companies with their cruelty free journey. Working with Cruelty Free International, achieving approval under the Leaping Bunny programme, enables brands to demonstrate their commitment to consumers. With demand growing every year, approved companies range from start-up cruelty free cosmetics companies to high profile international retailers and supermarket chains.
The Leaping Bunny Programme is the leading international approval programme for cruelty-free products, helping consumers to shop with confidence since 1998. Today, the Leaping Bunny logo from Cruelty Free International represents the highest level of commitment to ending animal testing for finished products and ingredients.
With its rigorous process, Leaping Bunny approval can take many months to achieve, ensuring companies go beyond legal requirements to demonstrate their commitment and that they have procedures and policies in place to verify their claims – including supplier monitoring, regular auditing and annual verification.
