but they still sell in China right? I'm so happy but I still don't want to buy their stuff if they sell in China...
Hi! That's why I'm still waiting for the leaping bunny logo first. They are very strict about the China issue too...let's all wait for it to be official. I hope they pull out from China soon..
Any updates?
Sadly, they will never have a Leaping Bunny logo. First, if you look at the Leaping Bunny list, it is very small and most of the brands are unknown and hard to find. It seems no companies go through them. If you e-mail them, they will tell you they know nothing about brands not on their list.
Second, I e-mailed Amore and never received a reply, so e-mailed KARA and they said Amore has no plans to pull out of China. It applies only to them testing. Which makes them not cruelty free.
I cannot find ANY Korean brands that are safe. Which sucks because the US makes bad BB creams...:/
