It’s our belief that this care includes being good to the creatures we share the planet with too. Our products are purposefully vegan \u0026amp; cruelty-free and have been from the start. The difference? They’re two distinct positions and we won’t compromise on either.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnimal cruelty free means that a product was manufactured without harming or killing animals. The most obvious example of this cruelty is testing of products or ingredients on animals. Not only does Ethique not test on animals, but we only use ingredients that haven’t been tested on animals. We won’t take the dishonest and disingenuous route of getting another organisation to test on animals for us either.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhy would we when there are so many harm-free alternatives?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.accentuate.cloud\/images\/25790520\/Ethique-Cruelty-Free-and-Vegan-Certifications.jpg?v=1639013389816\" class=\"fr-fic fr-dii\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.38;margin-top:12pt;margin-bottom:12pt;\"\u003eEthique believes that beauty and household products should be cruelty free.

This information renders animal testing unnecessary for most companies. Instead, the best course of action is to formulate products based on the data and the safety it proffers.

While the practice is illegal in many countries including New Zealand, India, and the EU, Chinese law mandates that all products in physical stores be tested on animals first. This means our bars won’t be available on shelves in China until the current legislation is overturned, but the good news is that these rules don’t apply to anything sold directly to consumers.
