Farouk Systems, manufacturer of industry-leading hair care brands including CHI and BioSilk, is proud to announce that it has been awarded the coveted Coalition for Consumer Information on Cosmetics (CCIC) Leaping Bunny Certification.

It’s a giant leap that solidifies its commitment to incorporating best practices in manufacturing cruelty-free products.

“We are extremely honored to be recognized by Leaping Bunny’s cruelty-free standard,” said Dr. Farouk Shami, Founder and Chairman of Farouk Systems, Inc. “Our mission has always been and still is ‘Environment, Education, and Innovation’ so this certification aligns with our company values from the beginning of never testing on animals,” he added.

The certification is a gold standard for cruelty-free designation, and it adds Farouk Systems, Inc. to a prestigious list of verified companies that have procedures and policies in place that go beyond current laws to ensure its products are not tested on animals at any stage of the product development.

To earn the Leaping Bunny certification, a careful and thorough review was taken of the Farouk Systems, Inc. products, which verified that the company’s hair color and haircare, do not inflict harm on animals.

According to Dr. Shami, “In the past 35 years, we have innovated natural and hair care, ammonia-free hair color, and safer styling tools that create less heat damage. Our Leaping Bunny certification is part of a larger company plan to make all of our products more eco-friendly, vegan, and,” he said.
