Email to the Company
Before classifying any brand as cruelty-free and vegan, I send them an email with the following questions.
- Are your products vegan? If only some are vegan, which ones?
- Are any of your products or ingredients tested on animals?
- Do you have a Leaping Bunny or PETA certification?
- Do your suppliers or any third parties test animals on your behalf?
- Does your company sell products in mainland China (except for Hong Kong and online sales)?
- Are you owned by a parent company that tests on animals?
This is how Solara Suncare responded:
- ALL OF OUR PRODUCTS ARE VEGAN
- NO NEVER
- YES, WE ARE LEAPING BUNNY CERTIFIED FOR OUR BRAND / ALL PRODUCTS
- NEVER AND WE REQUIRE OUR LABS TO HAVE SIGNED VERIFICATIONS AS SUCH!
- WE DO NOT.
- WE ARE PRIVATELY OWNED (BY ME 🙂
