How and where did we find these cruelty free makeup brands?

We researched accredited sites like PETA and our favorite animal friendly stores then went to each and every brand website to double-check their authenticity. Yes, really, we put in the time. 

These are up to date and we will continue to keep them current for you. Things are constantly changing within companies and we will do our best to keep you informed.

So what does “animal-friendly” mean on this list?

For our list animal-friendly or cruelty-free means each brand follows the below criteria…

-No testing on animals throughout any part of manufacturing 

-No third parties testing on animals for the brands’ benefit

-No selling of products in countries which mandate animal testing

-No ordering of materials from third party vendors who test on animals

Keep in mind that some cruelty-free lines also create completely vegan makeup, which is wonderful! We put a “100% Vegan” note next to all of them. In addition, there are brands that are animal friendly however their “parent companies” are not – we included those with notes as well.

How do you search the list for your favorite brand?

This is an alphabetically organized list. However, if you want to quickly find something…
