Sainsbury’s Makes Commitment To BUAV

The chain has become the first major supermarket to sign up all of its own brand cosmetics and toiletries, totalling over 200 products, to be certified free from animal testing by the British Union for the Abolition of Vivisection (BUAV). Products qualifying for the BUAV’s Humane Cosmetics Standard will be marked with the Leaping Bunny logo.
