Leaping Bunny is the cruelty-free certification of Cruelty Free International (with the Coalition for Consumer Information on Cosmetics in North America). It certifies that neither a company nor its suppliers conduct, commission or are party to animal testing, for cosmetics, personal-care and household products. Unlike many cruelty-free logos based on self-declaration, Leaping Bunny requires a fixed cut-off date policy, ongoing supplier monitoring, and recommitment with independent audits — the Corporate Standard of Compassion for Animals is maintained on a rolling basis and is not published as a versioned public document. The certified company list is public, which makes verification straightforward for consumers and regulators. Because "cruelty-free" and "not tested on animals" are otherwise unregulated claims in most jurisdictions, the certification's fixed cut-off date and supply-chain monitoring are what give the claim weight. Certification covers the approved company and product scope only; it does not by itself substantiate vegan, natural or safety claims.
