Cruelty-Free Chinese Cleaners

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

eco&more Aims to Get Chinese Consumers Caring About Animal Testing

— April 12, 2018 — Eco
eco&more is setting itself apart as a leader in the cruelty-free movement. While there are many products in North America that boast cruelty-free labels, this brand founded in Shanghai is disrupting the Chinese market. As founder Jeni Saeyang puts it: "I see only a very small group of Chinese consumers care about animal testing, but we want to set a model. eco&more is a very young brand, but our Chinese rivals actually copy us and watch what we do, so being cruelty-free is an example showing people how forward-thinking our brand is."

Some companies specifically avoid selling products in China, as it does require animal testing on many goods. eco&more makes its natural and cruelty-free personal care and cleaning products with simple ingredients and essential oil scents.

Producing cruelty-free products is a focus for the brand, but so is sustainability—eco&more aims to promote packaging reuse and reduce waste with refill stations and eco-friendly initiatives in Shanghai.
Trend Themes
1. Cruelty-free Movement in China - The rise of eco&more in the Chinese market disrupts the perception that only a small group of Chinese consumers care about animal testing.
2. Focus on Sustainability in Personal Care and Cleaning Products - eco&more's emphasis on packaging reuse and eco-friendly initiatives presents an opportunity for disruptive innovation in the personal care and cleaning industries.
3. Copying and Monitoring Competitors in the Chinese Market - The Chinese rivals that copy eco&more's cruelty-free example demonstrate the potential for disruptioin through brand emulation strategies.
Industry Implications
1. Personal Care Products - The awareness and demand for cruelty-free personal care products, like those offered by eco&more, provide opportunities for disruptive innovation in the industry.
2. Cleaning Products - The increasing interest in cruelty-free and sustainable cleaning products, as exemplified by eco&more, opens avenues for disruption in the cleaning industry.
3. Brand Monitoring & Imitation - The practice of Chinese rivals copying and monitoring eco&more's initiatives highlights the potential for disruption in the brand monitoring and imitation industry.
