In 2014, Tarte was sold to Kosé, a corporation that is not cruelty-free. Since then, Tarte has remained cruelty-free and the brand never entered the Chinese market. Tarte is currently not sold in stores in China.
Tarte is owned by Kose which is not a cruelty-free brand. If you prefer avoiding brands owned by a company that tests on animals, we recommend avoiding Tarte.
No, Tarte is not sold where animal testing is required by law.

Tarte is cruelty-free but not 100% vegan, meaning that some of their products contain animal-derived ingredients.
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.
Tarte offers a wide selection of vegan-friendly products, including most of their makeup and all of their makeup brushes. You can find the complete list below.
