Cruelty-Free and Vegan Bleach Brands in 2020

cruelty-free bleach brands

Do you know what’s annoying? Washing a load of laundry and the clothes coming out kinda blah. To fix that you use products like Clorox bleach or Oxi-Clean to get that dinginess out.

Unfortunately, both of those brands test on animals and now you need a cruelty-free bleach alternative.

So I created this list of 6 cruelty-free bleach and whiteners that are just as powerful as your old go-to products.

All of the brands are vegan and certified cruelty-free by Leaping Bunny, Peta, or Choose Cruelty-Free. 

Note: Brands marked with an asterisk (*) are owned by a parent company that is not cruelty-free

What Is Bleach?

Bleach is basically a chemical that can be found in solid or liquid form. Its main purpose is to whiten, disinfect, or sanitize things.

The majority of your good old fashioned household bleach contains chlorine. Which by itself, is a seriously dangerous gas. So chemists do their thing and create a safer version of chlorine called sodium hypochlorite.

Next time you’re at the store look at the ingredient labels of a bottle of bleach. Normally, sodium hypochlorite is one of the first 3 ingredients.

What Is Non-Chlorine Bleach?

Well, it’s bleach that doesn’t contain chlorine but other ingredients like hydrogen peroxide, sodium percarbonate, or sodium perborate.

Non-chlorine bleach has the same purpose of whitening, disinfecting, and sanitizing. But it’s not as powerful as chlorine bleach which is why it’s safe to use on colors. Hence the name, color-safe bleach.

Wrap Up: Cruelty-Free Bleach

Using any type of bleach product is really not a laundry necessity. You could just walk around with faded colors and yellowish-white shirts right?!

But who really wants to do that? I sure as heck don’t. So it’s nice to know that there are numerous cruelty-free bleach brands available to get the job done.

      It really depends on where you live. But in Europe, I can easily find Ecover products in my local stores.
