Julie Clarke Candles
We are proud that all our products are registered with the Vegan Society – Internationally recognised Vegan trademark.
History of the Vegan Society
The Vegan Society was founded in the UK in 1944 by Donald Watson and several others who had a vision for a world seeking –
“ to exclude—as far as is possible and practicable—all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, animals for food, clothing or any other purpose; and by extension, promotes the development and use of animal-free alternatives for the benefit of humans, animals and the environment.”(definition of vegan www.vegansociety.com)
Vegan Trademark
Since 1990 the Society has been helping businesses worldwide to demonstrate their products meet this definition with their Vegan Trademark. This trademark is used on labels all over the world as the “authentic standard for products free from animal ingredients and animal testing “. Companies make an application to the Vegan Society to have their products registered with the society – it is only when products are approved that they can display the official Vegan Trademark of a Sunflower.
International Recognition
The Vegan Trademark is registered in countries worldwide and used on over 45,000 products. It is the international standard for genuine Vegan products. When customers see the Sunflower Symbol on the Vegan trademark, they know they can trust the product.
Applying for the Vegan Trademark
To apply for the Vegan Trademark, you simply contact the society and they will send you out the application form. It does take time and effort to get approval, but it is well worth it.
We were using all vegan ingredients in our products for a long time before we went through the registration process with the Vegan Society. Now we can show our customers that we are registered with the Vegan Trademark and it gives our products credibility.
