Unilever-owned brand Axe has earned approval from PETA, joining the prestigious Beauty Without Bunnies list. By pledging to abstain from any form of animal testing, both on ingredients and finished products, Axe aligns with the ethical preferences of consumers worldwide. Sold in over 90 countries, the brand's commitment to cruelty-free practices will now be visibly endorsed by the PETA logo on its products starting next year. As part of Unilever's longstanding dedication to advancing regulatory change and pioneering animal testing alternatives for over four decades, Axe becomes the latest addition to a roster of over 20 Unilever brands recognized by PETA. This move empowers consumers to make informed choices, supporting brands that prioritize animal welfare and ethical manufacturing practices.
