Our STUDIO BOTANIC certificates
To be able to offer you optimum safety, we have had our products certified or use certified packaging materials and they meet the strict criteria of the following labels with complete conviction:
NATRUE Label
True Friends of Natural and Organic Cosmetics
The label focuses on the content-related components of the products and specifies which ingredients are allowed in a natural cosmetic product and how they must be processed. The aim of the label is to support and protect natural and organic cosmetics in the interests of the consumer worldwide. NATRUE uses internationally consistent and valid criteria to do this. The consumers should therefore be able to better orientate themselves on this subject and to identify high-quality natural products at first sight. You can find more information on the NATRUE label guidelines.
THE VEGAN SOCIETY Label
One world. Many lives. Our choice.
The Vegan Society label means that a product and its ingredients contain no animal ingredients, animal by-products or animal-derived substances, and that none have been used in its development or manufacture. At the same time, the standard requires that neither the product nor its ingredients have been tested on animals by the company, on its behalf or by parties under its effective control. It also includes the review of ingredients and their origin, the minimisation of cross-contamination with animal substances, and the exclusion of GMOs developed or produced using animal genes or animal substances.
CRUELTY FREE
Cruelty Free certified
The CRUELTY FREE BUNNY is STUDIO BOTANIC’s own indication sign. It does not represent a separate third-party label, but visualises an aspect that is substantively supported by the Vegan Society certification of our products and ingredients. The Vegan Society itself expressly classifies its certified beauty products as cruelty-free. This is based on certification criteria that exclude animal-derived ingredients, animal by-products and animal derivatives, prohibit animal testing by the company, on its behalf or by parties under its effective control, require the review of ingredients and their origin, require cross-contamination with animal substances to be minimised as far as reasonably practicable, do not accept a fixed cut-off date model and exclude sale in markets where post-market animal testing is legally required. Our CRUELTY FREE BUNNY therefore does not communicate a free-standing additional claim, but an aspect covered and verified within the underlying Vegan Society certification scheme. STUDIO BOTANIC does not conduct animal testing, commission animal testing or participate in it. This applies to all our products and ingredients. We also do not source ingredients from manufacturers or suppliers that test those ingredients on animals or commission such testing, and we require corresponding assurances within our standards and review processes. This approach aligns with the criteria underlying the Vegan Society certification.

This approach aligns with the criteria underlying the Vegan Society certification.
It is also important to understand the legal background: since 2013, EU cosmetics law has included both a testing ban for cosmetic finished products and ingredients and a marketing ban covering cosmetics and ingredients tested on animals for cosmetic purposes. These rules apply across the EU cosmetics market.
Why do we still explicitly refer to cruelty-free? Because animal testing for cosmetics may still be relevant outside the EU in certain markets. The Vegan Society expressly addresses this point and excludes the sale of certified products in markets where post-market animal testing is legally required. STUDIO BOTANIC distances itself from this practice and does not sell in such markets. Our CRUELTY FREE BUNNY therefore makes visible that we do not merely follow the EU baseline, but apply the broader cruelty-free standard reflected in the Vegan Society certification scheme.
