The following list consists of all the cruelty-free brands we have vetted as cruelty-free based on our criteria, which can be found below. Its purpose is to help you shop truly cruelty-free no matter which products you need, and no matter what your budget is, anywhere and at any stores. You can use the filter to narrow the list based on your needs or preferences.
This list is for those who wish to avoid brands that test on animals or fund animal testing, and purchase only from the brands that have been vetted as cruelty-free. This means that the brands on our list have confirmed that no animal testing is performed on their finished products or ingredients during production, either by their company, their suppliers, or any third parties.
In order to ensure the brands we support do not put themselves at risk of animal testing, we do not consider brands that sell in China to be cruelty-free even if they use certain loopholes.
For brands that do test on animals, make sure to visit our list of Companies That Test On Animals.

Great information, I am very sensitive and personally I do not buy any product (brand) that belongs to a holding that sells in China and or test on animal (directly or indirectly). I do not see Arbonne listed – since there are Peta certified, Vegan, cruelty-free, …
what about 3ina?
I can’t find a concise answer anywhere if No 7 is cruelty free or not… can someone confirm on deny? I’d feel so bad if I bought from them and it turns out they do great on animals but if they don’t I’d love to support them! Thank you
Thanks for this list! I’m so incredibly disappointed in Nars because is one of the easiest brands to get hold in my country and dupes for their products are from companies which don’t sell here 🙁
Anyways, I’ve been trying to find if the nail polish company Smith & Cult is cruelty free but there is no official word from them that I can find. Anyone knows if they are indeed cruelty free?
Hi Noelia! I actually just recently reached out to Smith & Cult and they confirmed that they are cruelty-free. 🙂
Do you have any information on Muji? Thanks! http://www.muji.us/store/
How do you know if a company is animal cruelty-free? I’m trying to found out if Eve Pearl makeup is cruelty-free. On their website, they have “EVE PEARL® has never conducted animal testing at any stage of product development. We also do not contract with any third parties to conduct animal testing on our behalf.”
What about Amie ? http://www.amieskincare.com/why-amie-works/ They claim to be Vegan and cruelty free.
Hasnt Tarte been bought out by Kose a Korean Beauty company? Is there any info on that company in terms of animal testing?
Tarte is owned by Kose, but they remain cruelty-free despite the status of their parent company.
Do you know if Lumene is cruelty free? 🙂
Could you please find out about Red Flower Beauty? They claim to be an organic luxury beauty company, cruelty free and vegan. If they are what they claim to be it would be nice since they make perfumes and there isn’t a huge variety of cruelty free perfume companies. Thank you.
Add Morphe, they’re also cruelty-free.
Hi,

Hi, I’ve just seen that you removed Nudestix, what happened? Also, do you know whether Kevin Aucoin is cruelty free or not? Can’t find the brand any list, neither cruelty free nor testing. Thanks a lot for your answer!
Why is does selling their products in China effect their credibility?
China requires foreign cosmetics to be tested on animals, any foreign company retailing in Chinese stores must pay to have third party animal testing of their products. Therefore if a brand decides to sell their products in China, they are subject to animal testing.
NARS needs to be removed from the list. They announced they are going to sell to china and test when required by law.
I can’t seem to find information for pure ice nail polish. Do you know if they are cruelty free or not?
How about Arbonne?
Makeup revolution, freedom and I heart makeup are cruelty free, they have information on their website (tambeauty.com). Can you please add them to your list?

Is Seventh Generation still cruelty-free? I glanced at an article about them selling out and now might not be…
Any recommendations on a vegan spray on foundation that gives an airbrush finish and does well in the heat. Looking for a good light/medium coverage for my upcoming beach wedding. 🙂
I found this foundation on skinstore.com PUR Summer Collection Liquid Veil 4in1 Spray Foundation. I don’t know how it performs, but it says summer in the title so that seems promising.
Hi! Also Jelly Pong Pong, & So Susan, they are cruelty free companies. So Susan Cosmetics has a subscription box of cruelty free products.
And also Nomad Cosmetics cruelty free. They are indie brands with great quality.
Hi. Do you know if Rituals is cruelty free? They say so on their website, but nothing about if they sell in China or not. And since I’m all new to this, I find it SO hard to find out when you can trust a company or not or if some companies call themselves cruelty free without being it and so on… 🙂 I hope you can help!
Hi! Just thought I’d mention that I just wrote to W7, and they say that they do not sell products in China.
Just a couple for you to look into. Thayer’s Natural Remedies is 100% Vegan and has the PETA logo on it {Love the alcohol-free witch hazel rose petal toner)https://www.thayers.com. Another body favorite is Zum soaps aka Indigo Wild. Not all products are vegan, but I believe they are 100% cruelty-free https://www.indigowild.com/.
Hi! I’m interested in ‘the face shop’ it’s a Korean brand but more and more stores are opening where I live, do you know anything about their animal testing or harsh chemicals? Thanks!
Hi! I really enjoy your website and the comprehensive lists you put together for all the cruelty free brands and products! I’m making the switch over to some better products now because of your site. That being said, I noticed since Bath and Body Works is not cruelty free, I need a place to get cruelty free hand sanitizer. I found this place – https://basicearthessentials.com – which is leaping bunny approved. I havent tried it yet but if you or anybody you know has please reply! I also recently bought Smith’s Rosebud Company salve, is that company cruelty free? Thanks so much!
