| Caveat | Still trading, operated by Akita Brands, Inc; Leaping Bunny certification is confirmed on the certifier's own directory (certified since 2022, recommitted 2025), but B Corp is PENDING not held, the brand's own wording being "on our journey to B Corp certification", and the 2% of net sales pledge to The Fable Fund only begins in 2026. |
Why there is no score: Site could not be read. No verdict is given. Neither a full ingredient read nor a check of the certifications against the certifiers own registers has been completed for this brand, so there is no basis for judging it either way. No score is published. No readable product listing could be found at https://fableandmane.com, so the catalogue could not be enumerated. A manual product by product read has not yet been completed.

Not yet independently verified. The certifications listed for this brand are as the brand states them. They have not yet been checked against the certifiers own registers, so they should be read as a claim rather than a confirmed fact.
Ingredients are not present as readable text on the product pages we checked: they appear to be loaded by script or published as an image. They could not be read, categorised or compared automatically, so this brand's formulas are not yet verified here.
We read and categorise every ingredient for brands whose full list is published as readable text. This one could not be read automatically, so its formulas are not yet verified here. A complete ingredient list published in readable text is what makes a clean claim checkable.
