Parent Company
Although CoverGirl is fully cruelty-free, their parent company, Coty, is not. CoverGirl was previously owned by Procter & Gamble, a brand that tests on animals. In 2015, CoverGirl was acquired by Coty along with 42 other Procter & Gamble brands. At the time, CoverGirl was not a cruelty-free brand. In 2018, CoverGirl became Leaping Bunny certified and is now the largest makeup brand to gain this certification. We reached out to CoverGirl and they assured us that they pulled out of China and their products are no longer sold there. They also confirmed that they don’t test finished products or ingredients on animals, and neither do their suppliers or any third parties, anywhere in the world.

Is Covergirl vegan?
Covergirl is cruelty-free but not 100% vegan, meaning that some of their products contain animal-derived ingredients.
How do you determine that brands like Covergirl are cruelty-free?
We contact brands directly with our questions in order to get their full animal testing policy. If brands answer all our questions and confirm that no animal testing is happening at any point during production and beyond, they're added to our cruelty-free list. All brands we add have confirmed the information above.
Covergirl Vegan Product List
Even though many CoverGirl products contain animal-derived ingredients, CoverGirl recently launched a line of vegan products. Their Clean Fresh line is formulated without formaldehyde, phthalates, parabens, sulfates, or talc. Please note that this “clean beauty” line falls under the greenwashing category, though it truly is 100% vegan and free from any animal-derived ingredients. All products from the Clean Fresh line are vegan, namely:
- Clean Fresh Skin Milk Foundation (all 14 shades)
- Clean Fresh Cooling Glow Stick (all 4 shades)
- Clean Fresh Pressed Powder (all 4 shades)
- Clean Fresh Tinted Lip Oil (all 6 shades)
- Clean Fresh Mascara
- Clean Fresh Hydrating Concealer (all 14 shades)
The following products are also vegan:
- Exhibitionist Mascara
- Exhibitionist Waterproof Mascara
- Full Spectrum Matte Idol Liquid Lipstick
- Lash Blast Lash & Brow Serum
- TruBlend Undercover Concealer
Since CoverGirl doesn’t offer a wide selection of vegan products, we’re hoping that they will consider reformulating more of their products without the use of animal-derived ingredients.
