I know this post is over a year old but it came up when I Googled if S&G was CF. As someone that works with Fortune 100 consumer goods companies and start up luxury beauty brands, I can immediately see that their response is written in a way to avoid a lawsuit. S&G was founded in 2006 and, as stated in their answer to your follow up question, no ingredient since then has been tested on animals. I understand that people want a definite answer on a brand’s CF status but, in this case, I’m much more satisfied with S&G’s answer than a worthless Peta certification. As I move closer to being completely CF, I’ve bookmarked your site as it’s such a great resource! Thank you!

The problem there is that many logos/endorsements don’t mean much at all. Peta’s endorsement, for example, only required that companies sign a declaration. Any unethical company that does test on animals won’t have a problem lying on a declaration. An organisation like Cruelty Free International (Leaping bunny), however, do a very thorough check with the names company and it’s suppliers, and requires much proof before endorsing.

Thank you so much for not blindly swallowing what these companies say, and making the effort to dig deeper. Really great resource that I sue to help educate others.

For me if products do not have a logo as Cruelty Free I will not buy it no matter how good they are. I believe that animals should not be used in testing its inhuman and causes unimaginable pain. To me a logo must be printed for me to buy a product
