    Which cosmetic companies buy rabbit fat?
    I found information on the Internet, the cosmetic and pharmaceutical companies use in the production of rabbit fat and it is very expensive. For this purpose, a special breed of rabbits. Tell me, what companies buy this fat or give contact details. Thank you.

    Someone is pulling your leg. Think about it. How many rabbits would have to be boiled to produce fat to use in cosmetics.

    I can hear the animal rights activists from my door step!

    Alty where are you for this one!

    It appears they are used in cosmetic research (and medical research) not in production

    I'm almost afraid to ask why you want contact information for these supposed companies. Are you planning on breeding rabbits for their fat?

    If so, let me know, because I want no part of that. My four rabbits are sitting here in shock as I read this.

    I do know that rabbits are largely used in cosmetic testing. Here are a few pictures that should give you some food for thought. I warn you, they're not pleasant viewing, so viewer beware.
