What is Bunny Search?

Bunny Search is an independent app for iPhone and Android, with a free web brand directory. It helps shoppers check whether a beauty, skincare, household, or personal-care brand is cruelty-free and vegan. It brings together 10 cruelty-free and vegan lists from 9 organizations — PETA (two lists), Leaping Bunny, Cruelty Free International, Ethical Elephant, Naturewatch Compassionate Shopping Guide, Responsible Mica Initiative, ECOCERT, NATRUE, and LAV — in one searchable database of 10,000+ brands. Its Ingredient Check reads a product's ingredient list and flags animal-derived ingredients. The Ingredient Check covers cosmetics and personal care.

Brand checks and ingredient lists are free. You can try the Ingredient Check for free; after a few free checks it's part of Bunny Search Pro, a monthly or yearly subscription. The app shows the current price. No ads, and no brand can pay to appear or change its status.

Why aggregate multiple sources?

"Cruelty-free" doesn't have one universal definition. PETA accepts a signed statement of assurance. Leaping Bunny requires supplier monitoring across the entire supply chain. NATRUE certifies under broader natural-cosmetics standards. Each body applies different criteria, and they often disagree about the same brand. Bunny Search shows what each of the 10 lists says, side by side, so you can apply your own standard.

Ingredient Check

What's in this product?

Scan a product's barcode to open its ingredient list. The Ingredient Check then flags animal-derived ingredients, EU-listed fragrance allergens, parabens, palm oil and microplastics, each with its source. Facts, not scores.

It checks the list for:

  • Animal-derived
  • May be animal-derived
  • Allergens
  • Parabens
  • Palm oil
  • Environment

From an example result:

  • Not vegan: contains carmine (made from insects) and 1 more animal-derived ingredient
  • Animal-derived: CI 75470 (carmine, made from insects); Cera Alba (beeswax, made by bees)
  • May be animal-derived: Glycerin (can come from plant oils, animal fat or petroleum)

Example for illustration. Results depend on each product's list.

No barcode, or no list on file? Photograph the ingredient list. A third-party AI service only reads the text; fixed rules do the checking. Photos aren't kept, only the list read from them.

Try the Ingredient Check for free. Brand checks and ingredient lists stay free; after a few free checks, the Ingredient Check is part of Bunny Search Pro.
