What the petition asks
Make it clear for consumers that when a product is labelled as Vegan it is both cruelty free and Vegan.
The current labelling of using both terms is confusing and can be misleading.
Products are on the market that are labelled Vegan, but have been tested on animals.
There are also products on the market that are labelled Cruelty Free not tested on animals, but contain animal derivatives.
For a consumer who wishes to purchase a product they should be given clear details of what they are purchasing.
