Hi Tashina,
I just tried searching for Forever Living on Leaping Bunny List and they are there. Among the countries it doesnt say China buy it does say “other”. But I suppose they wouldnt be on the list if they sold in China… please do you know anything new about this?
Thank you

Hi Emilia,

Sadly, Freeman now states that they do test on animals when required by law. 🙁 I was really sad to see this change from them as they had previously been cruelty-free for a long time.

I just wanted to ask why the Freeman Beauty is on the “avoid these brands” list? I always thought that they’re cruelty free.. At least they’re on the Animalia’s (Finnish animal rights organization) list.

On a side note, I am so upset about the whole situation with cosmetic brands and their take on animal testing.. Why does it have to be so shady… 🙁 I’m afraid of buying anything because of the dishonesty of the brands. Their actions disgust me..
Sorry for the crappy English! 😀

I emailed them after that talk on Twitter, but haven’t heard back. :-/

That’s so strange! Thanks for your help anyway, it’s really good to know! I really appreciate the work you’ve put in for this list!

Hi Rosie,

They were removed from LeapingBunny.org and the brand is still telling me that they test when required by law. They were just added back to LeapingBunny.org and I am in talks with Leaping Bunny and the brand to figure out what’s going on.

Hi Tashina,

I was just wondering which Leaping Bunny list Forever Living have been removed from as I can still find them on the UK and USA lists! Obviously this is worrying if they are testing on animals and haven’t been removed!

Thank you for your answer! Oh I see, that really sucks! 🙁 I don’t have any of their products but I wanted to try their moisturizer.. but now I will definitely not buy from them!

But isn’t it kinda weird that they’re still on crueltyfreeinternational.org? They are also on the ‘Djurens rätt’ list (which is a Swedish leaping bunny partner). Why do everything has to be so confusing ugh. Thank you again for your answer!

btw, I hope my English is alright. It could be a bit weird sometimes as it’s not my first language.

Hi Emelie,

I received this information from the brand themselves. All information presented on Logical Harmony comes directly from the brands.

“At times, certain governments may require by law that some products go through additional safety testing for human consumption, which could include animal testing. In these cases, Forever Living works with these governments to see if there are other options or other data that can be provided that may satisfy additional testing. In the case that these attempts are unsuccessful, Forever Living must comply with legal regulations required for registration and import.”

Their products are sold in the US and Canada, but they are no longer on the Leaping Bunny list.

I just wanted to tell you that Forever living does show up on Cruelty Free International’s brand search (www.crueltyfreeinternational.org/LeapingBunny), so they should be cruelty free. Where did you get the information that they test when they are required by the law? If a company claims to be certified but you can’t find it on leapingbunny.org it could simply mean that they don’t sell their products in USA or Canada.

I got this answer from crueltyfreeinternational.org when I was worried about another brand that didn’t appear on leapingbunny.org but did appear on crueltyfreeinternational.org (the brand was Aurelia skincare):

“Our Leaping Bunny certification forms a part of what we do. The certification of companies from around the world is managed by Cruelty Free International, although we also have international partners who certify companies in specific regions.

In the US and Canada the programme is managed by our partners the Coalition for Consumer Information on Cosmetics (CCIC), they run the LeapingBunny.org website for American and Canadian shoppers. If you are unable to find a certified company on that website, but you are able to find them on the Cruelty Free International website, it may simply be the case that they do not sell products in the USA or Canada.”

Have a nice day! ?
