Cruelty-free

A philosophy of kindness

At Poet Botanicals, everything we create begins with care.

Care for the body.
Care for the home.
And care for the living world we are part of.

Being cruelty free is a reflection of our values. A commitment to ensuring that no part of our process causes harm to animals, now or in the future.

What cruelty-free means to us

To be cruelty free is to choose a different path.

It means:

• No animal testing at any stage of product development

• No ingredients tested on animals

• No partnerships with suppliers who engage in animal testing

Every ingredient we use — from essential oils to waxes and botanicals — is sourced with this principle in mind.

We believe that creating beautiful, effective products should never come at the expense of another living being.

Why it matters

The products we bring into our homes should feel safe — not only for us, but in how they come into being.

Animal testing is often invisible to the end consumer, hidden deep within supply chains and ingredient sourcing. Choosing cruelty free is a way of bringing awareness back into that process.

It is a decision rooted in respect:
for life, for ecosystems, and for the quiet interconnectedness of all things.

Conscious sourcing

Our commitment extends beyond formulation into how we source.

We work with suppliers who share our values — prioritising transparency, ethical practices, and responsible harvesting methods.

This ensures that every Poet Botanicals product reflects a deeper standard of integrity — one that considers not just the final product, but the journey it takes to reach you.

Aligned with nature

Our philosophy is simple:
if it comes from nature, it should honour nature.

This means working with plant-based ingredients, avoiding unnecessary harm, and choosing methods that support balance rather than disruption.

Cruelty free is not separate from our ethos — it sits alongside our commitment to natural, non-toxic formulations and conscious design.

More than a claim

For us, cruelty free is not a marketing statement.

It is a quiet promise — held in every decision we make, from sourcing to formulation to production.

A promise that what you bring into your space has been created with intention, care, and respect for all living things.

In essence

To create without harm is to create with integrity. This is the standard we hold ourselves to — always.
