TERMS AND CONDITIONS

  1. ANIMAL TESTING POLICY

All Avroy Shlain products have been certified as cruelty-free by PETA. We are proud to be part of the Beauty Without Bunnies programme, certifying that we never test any product or ingredient on animals. The Leaping Bunny logo is steadily being added onto all our packaging. If you have a product from Avroy Shlain and don’t see the Leaping Bunny logo, you can rest assured that it’s still cruelty-free.
