In order to ensure that a brand is completely cruelty free, doesn’t test on animals at any point during the production of their products, I reach out to them through email. Here is my email exchange with London’s Pedisoaks…
Hi Chris,
We spoke briefly through Instagram. I’d love to collaborate and list London Pedisoaks on my cruelty free brand list! I just have a few questions –
- Are your finished products or individual ingredients tested on animals?
- Do you ensure that your suppliers and any third parties involved in production don’t test on animals?
- Are your products available for sale in mainland China where animal testing is required by law?
- Are you Leaping Bunny, PETA or CCF certified?
- Lastly are any or all of your products completely vegan?
Sorry I know some of these questions you have already answered in your IG DM, just need answers to all of the questions in one place so I can screenshot it and add it to my website as evidence of your company’s animal testing policies. Thousands of followers rely on my website to shop for cruelty free products so I personally prefer to verify the validity of a brand’s claims even if they have a certification(s). Specifically PETA as they don’t regulate the suppliers of a company and therefore aren’t a reliable resource for cruelty free shopping unlike Leaping Bunny and CCF.
Thanks!

Here is their response:
When I reached out for a clarification on the first question, since I’m assuming they misspoke, they assured me that the finished products and individual ingredients are not tested on animals.
I have concluded that London Pedisoak’s is, in fact, cruelty free and it has been added to our database of cruelty free brands. Their products may also be featured in our shopping guides. If you have any further questions or would like to check out their products, visit their website.
