Working on regulatory change is, to me, not cruelty free. The regulatory change is: just stop. I choose those who just won’t be cruel.

Thanks for sharing cruelty free cleaning wipes. As I was addicted to using wipes, and I have tried most of the wipes listed here. I am currently using a natural multi-surface antibacterial wipes made from bamboo which is eco-friendly too. I highly recommend using the biodegradable wipes which is good for us as well as for the environment. Thanks for sharing.

In reply to Falon.

Hm… the whole thing with PETA and Unilever is confusing and complicated. From my research, Seventh Generation is still certified cruelty-free by PETA. And Unilever (Seventh Generation’s parent company) is classified as part of “Companies Working for Regulatory Change”.

PETA explains it,

“Working for Regulatory Change” is a category that recognizes companies that test on animals only when required by law, that are completely transparent with PETA about which animal tests they conduct and why, and that are actively working to promote development, validation, and acceptance of non-animal methods.

Which as you mentioned, is just another way to say, ‘this brand DOES test on animals’ but PETA and Unilever seem to have some sort of relationship where PETA feels that Unilever should be placed in this honorary category. But I think this just ends up confusing customers looking to find 100% cruelty-free brands.

Regarding Seventh Generation, it now looks like PETA is now considering it a “company working for regulatory change”. Citing the Unilever site directly: “Unilever conducts no tests on animals unless specifically required by law for any of its brands or products.” Which, by definition is not necessarily (or likely) cruelty-free. But it’s good to have more context and information.
