Cruelty-Free Condoms

What does cruelty-free mean?

Cruelty-free refers to products or companies that don't test their products or ingredients on animals. Cruelty-free means that no animals were subjected to painful experiments to produce these products. Instead, ethical and cruelty-free companies use alternative methods, such as cell cultures or computational models, to ensure safety while avoiding animal testing.

What standards are used to judge what is cruelty-free?

Various standards judge whether a product is cruelty-free. The most common standard is the Leaping Bunny Standard, overseen by the Coalition for Consumer Information on Cosmetics made in the United States and Canada. To be certified under this standard, a company must pledge that neither it nor its suppliers test their products or ingredients on animals at any stage of development.

In Europe, the European cosmetics Regulation (EC) No. 1223/2009 requires that all products sold in the EU must not be tested on animals. This legislation is enforced by the Cosmetic Products Enforcement Regulations 2013 and applies to any cosmetic product sold or imported into the EU that states it is cruelty-free.

Since January 2021, all EXS condoms are also vegan certified by the Vegan Society. The Vegan Society standard ensures that products are free from animal exploitation, cruelty and by-products.

XO! Righteous Rubber Ultra-Thin condoms also contain zero animal products and have never been tested on animals, making them some of the kindest condoms on the planet.
