CertificationsLeaping Bunny's own brand register lists Acure as certified since 2013, confirmed on the live leapingbunny.org listing. PETA's Beauty Without Bunnies database lists the company as 'Acure (Better Planet Brands)' and states plainly that it is cruelty free, with ingredients, finished products, suppliers and third parties all held to the same no animal testing standard. Change Climate (the rebranded Climate Neutral Certified program) lists Acure as a certified brand with first certification in 2024 and most recent certification in 2025, not expired. These are company wide certifications rather than per product seals. Change Climate's own data field for Acure explicitly records that the brand is not B Corp certified and is not a 1% for the Planet member.

Wrong claims vs the source

Claims made for this brand that could not be confirmed in a certifier's own register. A brand website is a claim, not a source.

A B Corp certification is repeated across several third party clean beauty blogs but is contradicted by the certifier's own data: Change Climate's brand record for Acure marks isBCorpCertified as false. This claim should be struck. An EWG Verified claim, sometimes conflated with Acure's general 'clean ingredient' marketing, was not found on the EWG Verified register and should not be repeated as a formal certification; any EWG reference that exists is limited to the open Skin Deep hazard database, which is not the EWG Verified mark.

Why there is no score: Partial read. This verdict is provisional. Only part of the catalogue could be read and the certifications listed have not been checked against the certifiers own registers, so the evidence does not yet support a settled verdict. No score is published. Ingredient lists were obtained for 46 of 68 products, 68 percent of the catalogue. The other 22 products publish no ingredient list that could be read. A percentage drawn from part of a catalogue is not a figure for the range, so none is shown.

Acure ingredient report

We analysed 46 Acure products, categorising every listed ingredient by function, origin (raw natural, naturally derived or synthetic) and safety concern.
