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.
Our Criteria
All the brands found on this list were vetted to be cruelty-free, meaning:
- Finished Products: Their finished products are not tested on animals by the company or any other company.
- Ingredients: Their ingredients are not tested on animals by the company or any other company.
- Suppliers: Their suppliers do not test ingredients, raw materials, or finished products on animals.
- Third Parties: No third party is testing their finished products or ingredients animal on their behalf.

Arbonne is not tested on animals as well as cruelty free! Didn’t see it on here?
A friend recently gifted me a few masks from Esfolio. I can see from the ingredients that they are not vegan, but have not been able to find information confirming they and the ingredients that they source are cruelty-free, nor are they on any lists that show that they do conduct animal testings. Any ideas?
My It Cosmetics blush & Elf lip gloss say made in China. But China requires animal testing, so are they really cruelty free?
As I understand it – the law about testing in China is for products imported there, not made there. Does not apply to Hong Kong.
What about Arbonne?
I can’t seem to get the filters to work… Is it just me? I chose Skincare, Mid Range, and ships to US and got nothing. I thought maybe there just weren’t any that fit those criteria (although it’s hard to believe that), but I played around more and can’t get any results when I select any filter… Am I doing something wrong?
Same here. 🙁
Same here, too. I fiddled around with it a bit and still only 1-5 companies were listed, which I know is incorrect. 🙁
revolution is cruelty-free and vegan??
Not that long ago I emailed Unilever because I couldn’t figure out if one of their brands, Andrelon, was crueltyfree or not. They emailed me back and said they didn’t test on animals (mostly due to it being illegal in most of Europe). Yet on your website Unilever is still presented as a company that tests on animals. Could you explain why?
Also, shouldn’t brands like WinkyLux and Fenty Beauty be on this list?
Would it be possible to get a “Category” column like you have with your list of companies who aren’t cruelty free? Also, for some reason when I try to filter, it hides all items in the list. 🙁
Thank you for this. My daughter and I have been trying to only buy cruelty free for the last couple of years. This is very helpful!
Neal’s Yard Remedies – one to add to the cruelty free list
Neal’s Yard Remedies – on to add to the cruelty free list.
I saw ELF on the list but I’ve noticed that some of their products are made in China…???
Is Renpure CF? They are made in the USA and says never tested on animals?

Olá Susy,
Parabéns pelo blog. Gostaria de saber se a ISDIN é livre de testes com animais. Vc sabe dizer? Sou muito branca e já possuo a pele muito marcada do excesso de sol ao longo dos anos. Tenho um pele muito sensível, com rosácea e estou justamente no momento procurando um produto mais adequado para minha que respeite o meio ambiente (por isso deve ser um protetor físico) e os animais. A ISDIN me pareceu ser a melhor até agora. Inclusive alguns de sue produtos aparecem no site https://www.belezanaweb.com.br/cruelty-free?marca=isdin como livres de crueldade com animais.
Desde já, agradeço sua ajuda.
Is Lune+Aster cruelty free? They claim that they are CF & vegan. I don’t see them on your list.
The search function is broken again. If you try and filter for select results the list comes up empty.
Sorry about the issue! We’re working on a permanent fix.
Thanks so much for putting forth the effort to make this list.
Hi, I wanted to know if Burt’s bees is cruelty free? They say so and it’s mentioned on their products. But I still was apprehensive. Can you please confirm? TIA
Burt’s is on the Leaping Bunny list 🙂
Hi, I’m wondering if A Bonne products are also cruelty-free?
Arbonne have the cruelty free and vegan stamp from Peta
Are Lunatick cosmetics cruelty free?
I think that Joico is now cruelty free as their policy online has changed and no longer includes “unless required by law” and just outright says they don’t test in animals.

Is Palmer’s Cocoa Butter products cruelty free? They state that they are but I can’t find them on any cruelty free list!
Hello Suzanne!
I also was wondering will you have your logo branded on some make up products to confirm it is TRUE animal cruelty free as you do onsite investigation on these companies unlike PETA, Leaping Bunny, and Choose Cruelty-Free? It would be awesome and helpful if your logo is also on these products too! You are a TRUE animal cruelty free investigator. 😀 Just saying. 😀
Hello Suzanne!
Thank you so much for this list! I can now shop for make up with ease. I normally go on PETA website, but since I’ve been hearing news about PETA “loose” investigation on companies claiming they are animal cruelty free, but only when required by law (loopholes). Since then, I don’t know what is true and what’s not. I was wondering if you can please verify and confirm that SMASHBOX and Bare Minerals products are 100% animal cruelty free? I see it’s on your list, but I want to hear it from you directly. I used to shop for Smashbox and Bare Minerals products, but now I’m not so sure. Any feedback you can give me I would be eternally grateful. Thank you!
Not sure if you’re including any direct selling companies on your list, but Arbonne products are certified cruelty free (PETA) and vegan!
Please add Maria Mila to the list! They’re an amazing company that is all vegan and c.f. and is made to salon standard.
What about Beekman 1802? I would think they would be on this list. But they are still a newer company from what I gather.
