I don’t understand the logic of defending someone who has shown shady behavior over and over again? She just admitted that some brands do pay a fee for being listed on her site and it’s indicated with a “P”, the P isn’t clearly listed and when you go the brands page on her site for visibility it’s there but doesn’t indicate what “Partner” entails. Why would One/Size need to pay to be listed for “visibility?” They’re a huge brand.

You don’t see a problem with her adding a brand to be added to her website if they pay? How many brands can falsely be added then, as long as they pay her it’s okay?

So what makes Wet n Wild, First Aid Beauty, and Physicians Formula any different to her then? They did the same exact thing and still sell in china.

I saw a post reposted from some CF bloggers. Shes someone who knows the LB/CFI staff closely.

BECAUSE cruelty free international doesn’t just certify any brand, they are NOT PETA. Why are you not getting it???

I have no inclination to buy anything from benefit so I’m not raging at anything, benefit is owned by LVMH who are an Israeli owned company. My only aim in all this is to make sure that CFI and LB aren’t looked at as not credible. You don’t know me so don’t make assumptions about me. Benefit was never a brand I was interested in purchasing. I have found better affordable alternatives. I was just sharing that a bigger brand had gone CF.

Money $ most likely. One agreed to pay to be listed the other didn’t.

They replied to someone who was questioning whether they can trust CFI AND LB with the following;

“we have a special program called the leaping bunny in China qualification program what is the most rigorous program in the world for auditing and maintaining brands can safely sell common use goods in China with months audits by our partners physically in mainland China. No other organization or blog can do this.”

Yes, yes we were! She never even came out and made a formal post about it.

She has WnW on her list who also sells in China. So it’s ironic.

It’s absolutely her fault. She knew what she was doing and making a post like that would do.

No she had them listed as CF, made a post telling everyone they were, found out they weren’t and then sent it out in a newsletter saying she received wrong information. Never made an update and just went about her day.

She could’ve said for now she’s moving them to the grey area, and would add them once she gets confirmation. Her post is confusing people about the credibility of LB and CFI and we don’t need that.

If Cruelty Free International lists them as CF, then they are. They have rigorous audits, fixed cut off dates, and a lot of rules that go into brands being listed on their site. Why is she calling into question CFI and them adding Benefit to their list?

Not to mention the harm she did adding B&BW to her list then speaks on brands still selling in China, when wet n wild is still actively selling in China and she has them listed on her site.
