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.

ELF is vegan! Not sure exactly when but they have been for a while https://www.elfcosmetics.com/pages/faqs
Anyone know if Thrive Causemetics is truly cruelty free?
Deep steep has posted photos on their insta of their products alongside leather goods. It’s even mentioned they are leather. My comments have been deleted so many times from their site. IMO they aren’t CF since they don’t give af about using leather!!!!
You are doing a wonderful thing by maintaining this list! I am very thankful for the time and energy you’re putting in 🙂
Hello! there is a mexican brand REPUBLIC COSMETICS,I wanted to know if they are cruelty free, do you have any information about them, thank you!
Thanks for your list. I use it all the time! I just learned about Maui Moisture Hair Care. They say they’re cruelty free but they’re not on your list. Do you know if they can be trusted? Thanks so much!
I can no longer find Urban Decay on the Leaping Bunny list, is it still cruelty free? Is my favorite brand from the ones I can find in Germany. So I’m really sad if they decided to no longer be cruelty free.
Hello! Just wanted to say that The Body Shop are officially no longer owned by L’Oreal. Natura have purchased them and they’ve officially changed hands now. So awesome that TBS now have a cruelty free parent company 🙂
Thank you! I’ve been trying to get more information about Natura, as they appear to be cruelty-free but I couldn’t confirm it yet. Do you have any sources?
I would recommend Alpha Skincare as a great cruelty-free brand. They make amazingly effective products for a very reasonable price. I love their Intensive Renewal 14% Glycolic Acid Serum. It’s 1 oz. for about $18.99 at Ulta and qualifies for their $3.50 off $15 coupon.
Maybe I totally missed a memo, but does anyone know why Nudestix was taken off the list? Thanks ?
hi i noticed that essence cosmetics has been added however it is not certified right?
Hey, is Fenty cruelty free?
Still looking into it and haven’t heard back.
Noticed you don’t have Arbonne listed?!
Thank you for the great work!
Do you know anything about italian make up brand Astra? It’s a low cost brand.
Is it cruelty free? How can I know? (Yes, I should ask them, I know, but I don’t know if I can trust their answer!)
Sorry for my poor english 🙂
Thanks
hi very new on here, question about body shop products if they have sold to loreal then surely that company test on animals even if the body shop brand doesnt would that be true?
Hey, do you happen to know if sleek makeup is cruelty free?
Sweet Minerals is cruelty-free and Leaping Bunny Certified. Check out their wonderful makeup and body products.
Arbonne isn’t on the list and that’s a shame.
This is the 2017 list right? How did Morrocan Oil Brand get on there?
The health and beauty products on supermarket shelves are only one third cruelty free, I have been looking. The reality seems that there are heaps of makeup brands that are not cruelty free, this is a harsh reality, so it seems. I have lost a lot of faith in the huge companies, the ones with influence, unfortunately. Let’s let the world know, many times over.
Thank you for your time – awesome.
Any one know if the brand pur lisse is cruelty free? It says they are on their website, but i dont see them on any lists…

Nilens Jord is also a cruelty-free, perfume-free and parabens-free make up brand 🙂
Thanks so much, your blog has really helped me!
Is Huda Beauty cruelty-free?
Newish to cruelty free and this site has been an amazing resource, thank you! I’m wondering about curl products, specifically creams/gels. Have you been in contact with the brand Miss Jessie’s (http://missjessies.com) to confirm their statement on their products that they’re cruelty free?
Why have you not listed AHAVA Cosmetics?
Hi <3 can u tell me if is Fenty Beauty cruelty free?
I am looking into it! Thank you!
A brand of hair care that’s cruelty free (and is absolutely amazing) is called Maui Moisture. It’s made with aloe Vera instead of deionized water. My hair has never felt healthier!! 100% cruelty free.
Time for an update! The Body Shop is now owned by Natura!
Why isn’t Philosophy on this list? Philosophy takes pride in being an animal cruelty free company!!
They are sold in china.
