[List your company](https://cosmetic-labs.com/account/companies/new) Definition ## Vegan and cruelty-free certification support A vegan claim concerns animal-derived inputs, while a cruelty-free scheme addresses defined animal-testing policies and supply-chain requirements. One status does not automatically establish the other, and the exact criteria depend on the organization and program. ### Evidence review Programs associated with organizations such as the Vegan Society, Leaping Bunny and PETA differ in scope and rules. Support starts by identifying the particular mark sought and obtaining evidence appropriate to it. Ingredient-source declarations, including relevant processing information - Supplier policies and declarations required by the scheme - Manufacturing controls relevant to segregation or contamination risk - Animal-testing policy and supply-chain review where applicable - Application records and logo-use documentation Vegan ingredients need not all be plant-derived, and a routine laboratory test cannot universally establish origin or prove that no animal testing occurred. Non-animal safety methods may support product assessment, but do not independently establish certification eligibility. ### Changes and certification decisions Beeswax, lanolin or carmine may need replacement for a vegan objective. Alternative materials must still be evaluated for formulation performance, safety and legal suitability. The scheme owner or authorized body decides eligibility and sets renewal or change-reporting requirements. Support providers can organize the evidence, but cannot promise certification, a fixed completion time or a percentage reduction in approval time. Applications ## Preparing scheme-specific animal-related claims A vegan review examines relevant animal-derived ingredients and processing inputs under the selected rules. A cruelty-free programme concerns animal-testing policies and evidence within its own scope. Eligibility for one does not establish eligibility for the other. Provide formula and supplier records, manufacturing information and any existing declarations. Confirm which evidence the scheme requires and who obtains missing records. The certifying programme decides eligibility and use of its mark. Retailer conditions must be checked with the actual buyer rather than assumed universal. Certification support cannot guarantee approval in a fixed period, access to named retailers or a percentage increase in distribution channels.
