Are You Helping Environment Check Your Brand?

Today every other person is talking about vegan or cruelty-free products but do you know what exactly it is about? Well, cruelty-free is a word which is used for those products and its ingredients and formulations that are not tested on animals at any stage at the time of product development and manufacturing. Everyone is aware of a fact that cosmetics do use this process but have you ever thought about your household cleaning products? Are they tested or not? Well yes, they are. It’s absolutely fine if you were not aware of this fact but now when you are and would like to switch to such products and also are eager to know how to identify them look for these points.

1. Look for the”FAIR TRADE”markandlabels

If your underwear brand labels ” fair trade ” that means your company make the clothing without disrespecting the right of farmers and production workers.Though few companies take the advantage of production workers during the process of harvesting as well as while trading off their products to the companies and also while you are signing up for the job which you might not realise.

2. Go for tags in case you are unable to spot labels.

If you want to look whether the product which you are about the pick is tested on animals or not do check the labels if it doesn’t have one go ahead with tags. if it doesn’t have one that’s doesn’t mean it’s not the ethical one, might be because it directly works with makers and could be an artisan brand. Even if you have any sort of queries don’t feel shy in asking questions to the business owner.

3. Bunny logo on packaging

The bunny logo is one of the easiest ways to know whether the product is cruelty-free or not. You may easily find it on the back of products or labels. But this method comes with limitations as well such as companies have to pay license and then use one of three certified bunny logos which represents the company as cruelty-free and is capable of meeting all the standard yet they might not be able to afford to pay and use the logo on their packaging.

4. List down all the brands which are considered under this list.

Another way of looking at whether your brand is not harming your pet is by doing a little bit of online research. This is even good for companies as they don’t have to pay a handsome amount to be on the list. Though they still need to meet all of the cruelty-free standards to be on the list it still cheaper than purchasing a bunny logo for yourself.

Though it sounds as ” one of the perfect ones” but still it comes with few limitations such as brutality free confirmations have various principles so you should discover an association that you concur with and you’ll regularly locate that every savagery free rundown will highlight various brands from each other.

5. Take advice from Cruelty-Free Expert or Blogger.

Another way of finding the product which is not harsh on animals is by consulting a beauty expert or a blogger as they do most of the work of emailing companies and cross-referencing cruelty-free lists. You can either follow them, tweet them or directly message them and then share your cruelty-free list and then you both can have a small conversation with them.

But before you go ahead with this option make sure you are trusting the right person as making a blog is not a big thing these days
