What types of companies are on the "Don't Test" list?
The list only includes companies that make cosmetics, personal-care products, or household-cleaning products. PETA's Caring Consumer Project was founded to help consumers choose products that don't contribute to animal suffering. No law requires that these types of products be tested on animals. The list does not include companies that only manufacture products that are required by law to be tested on animals (e.g., pharmaceuticals, certain chemicals, etc.). While PETA opposes all tests on animals, consumer dollars are very powerful when regulations don't require animal tests. Nonetheless, it is important to let companies that are required to test on animals know that it is their responsibility to convince the regulatory agencies that there are better ways. All companies that are included on PETA's cruelty-free list have signed PETA's statement of assurance or provided a statement verifying that neither they nor their ingredient suppliers conduct or commission any animal tests on ingredients, formulations, or finished products.

Company representatives interested in having their company's name added to our cruelty-free list(s) must complete a short questionnaire and sign a statement of assurance verifying that they do not conduct or commission any animal tests on ingredients, formulations, or finished products and that they pledge not to do so in the future. Upon receipt of these completed documents, PETA will add qualifying companies to our pocket-sized Cruelty-Free Shopping Guide and our online searchable database of cruelty-free companies. Once certified as cruelty-free, companies will have the opportunity to license our cruelty-free bunny logo. We continually hear from consumers who want to be able to identify cruelty-free products at a glance while shopping, and the use of our logo is the perfect
