Certifications on file

The following credentials appear on Pebeo's listings or brand profile in our database: Vegan, Cruelty-Free, Non-GMO, OEKO-TEX, FSC Certified. A certification is recorded when it appears on a product listing or the brand's published materials; we do not independently audit certificate scope, so confirm current status in the scheme's own directory before relying on it.

For animal-testing claims specifically, Cruelty-Free is the relevant credential in our records. Coverage can vary by product line and region, so treat it as a strong signal rather than a blanket guarantee for everything Pebeo sells.
