What is the best cruelty-free home & cleaning in 2026?

Dr. Bronner’s Pure-Castile Liquid Soap - Peppermint by Dr. Bronner's tops our 2026 cruelty-free home & cleaning ranking with an ethics score of 98/100.

What counts as cruelty-free?

A product is cruelty-free when neither the finished product nor any ingredient is tested on animals, at any stage, by the brand, parent company, or third parties — including for market access. We rely on Leaping Bunny and equivalent independent programs rather than self-declared "not tested on animals" claims.

Are cruelty-free products also vegan?

Not always. Cruelty-free refers to testing; vegan refers to ingredients. Products carrying both Leaping Bunny and Vegan Society certifications are both. Each listing on this page shows the exact certifications verified.
