On its website, Clinique, a company that produces high-end cosmetics and perfumes, states that it does not test its products on animals or ask others to test on its behalf. With the countless number of animals used in toxicity testing today, this is a welcome endeavor. However, Clinique has still not opened its animal testing policy to scrutiny by signing on to the Coalition for Consumer Information on Cosmetics (CCIC) Leaping Bunny Program.
Companies who join the Leaping Bunny Program pledge to not test on animals during any stage of product development. The company's ingredient suppliers make the same pledge and the result is a product guaranteed to be 100% free of new animal testing.
Some companies choose not to join the Leaping Bunny Program because they continue to conduct or commission animal testing for their ingredients or formulations, or they wish to reserve the right to test on animals in the future. Other companies simply may not realize the importance of joining the program to demonstrate their commitment against the use of animals in product testing.
Until a company signs a CCIC commitment against animal testing, consumers cannot be sure of its policy on the use of animals. Please urge concerned consumers to contact Clinique and ask the company to join the Leaping Bunny Program.
What You Can Do: Write to the President of Clinique, Lynne Green, and politely encourage her to certify Clinique through the Coalition for Consumer Information on Cosmetics (CCIC) Leaping Bunny Program. Tell her that as a compassionate consumer you refuse to buy products that have been tested on animals during any stage of product development and rely on the Leaping Bunny Program to provide the most accurate information on companies animal testing policies.
