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.

What do you think about Better Living products?
Dear Suzana,
Thank you so much for all the work and research you put in into this. You have truly changed my life. Thanks to you I discovered countless amazing brands, and became an advocate of cruelty free products among my friends and family
Hello-I was using Sally Hansen insta dry which saved me a lot of time and lasted as long as a paid manicure. I no longer buy it. Does anyone know of a QUICK DRY NAIL POLISH that is vegan, cruelty free? Side bar: Bogavia is the most excellent shampoo and hair conditioner ever that is also cruelty free and vegan. Beauty Guarde eyebrow and eyelash growth also vegan cruelty free- works!
I don’t see Malin+Goetz, and they are cruelty free on Peta’s site?

what about versionderma mdprofessional and art deco?Does anyone happen to know if they’re cruelty free?
Natura is the parent company of both Aesop and The Body Shop. Aesop is not listed as cruelty free because of Natura being its parent company, but The Body Shop is still listed as cruelty free despite having the same parent co. The Body Shop was trying to rebrand itself as cruelty free after being previously owned by L’Oreal, and I believed them! But I just noticed they’ve been owned by Natura since 2017. Isn’t this the same problem?
Hey, thanks for letting me know! It was a glitch and Natura is cruelty-free as well as Aesop and The Body Shop. “Parent company doesn’t test on animals” was checked, but since Natura was listed as the parent company, the database thought Natura isn’t cruelty-free. I removed it and it should work now, but I had to remove the name of the parent company.
Thanks! I really appreciate this resource by the way, I use it all the time.
What about the brand, every man jack?
Cocokind is another great cruelty free company. Have they been considered for this list?
Does anyone know if norwex is cruelty free??
what about yves rocher? neal’s yard?
Thank you
I thought Kopari was cruelty free and a complete clean product?
From what i learned animal testing is only mandatory in China if they are sold in a physical store not if they are sold online that’s how companies get around selling in China.
Hi guys. Suzi, there’s a VA botanical company that actually makes my favorite lip balm of all, called: Sun Garden Soap Co, LLC. You can direct order from them. I emailed the owner, Carolyn, this morning. They do not sell in China, all products are cruelty free, never tested on animals, not a large scale business, but amazing products. I asked her to get in touch with you, and check out your site and was trying to see about getting her business added. They’ve been in business since 2004. Soaps, anti itch/bug bite medicine, poison ivy soap, bath salts, sugar scrubs, lotions, and lip balms. Link below. I dont know them personally. I also live in VA, and found their products in a couple different mountain and unique local stores. I swear by their lip balms though. Better than anything on or off the list I’ve ever used in life!

Whoops never mind. I found the answer on your site. ?
Hi Suzana, Pixi is not??
What about SimplyNakedBeauty? It’s manufactured in China but they claim its absolutely 100% cruelty-free. Any information?
Do you know if Voodoo cosmetics are cruelty free ? They say they are
Hey– so in doing my do diligence… I am really trying to make an effort not to by garbage from companies who test on animals but I was wondering if anyone knew whether the company Fresh, tests on animals. Per their website they do not but I was wondering if anyone had looked into them?
Hello, I contacted Sally Hansen regarding their nail polish and I got this response back: Coty Inc does not perform, nor do we ever commission any third parties on our behalf to perform, testing of our products or ingredients on animals. They sent an attachment that says some governments/agencies stipulate the testing of FINISHED products on animals etc etc, they’re working on dialogue.
Hi
I can’t see the list here on the site. Why is that??? Does it matter what device I’m using… Samsung S7 btw???
Anyone have any recommendations for cruelty free skin care for rosacea? Thanks!
Hello,
Why morphe isn’t included in this list? While there’s another article in the crueltyfreekitty says that it is cruelty free. I am confused can you please confirm ? I have their products now but won’t feel good to use them if i can’t make sure. Thanks
I was also wondering this! I saw the article from crueltyfreekitty as well.
Lorac?
Isn’t fenty beauty cruelty free?!
Hi, thanks for sharing the info. I am a bit confused that I have heard that the EU has banned making and selling cosmetics tested on animals, does that necessarily mean cosmetics I bought from stores in its member countries are cruelty-free? Thank you=)
Companies like almay/neutrogena/clinique “claim” to be cruelty free, because they dont test in the US. But any products sold in Mainland China REQUIRE they test on animals. So these companies pay someone else to perform the test of these products on their behalf. But yes, they sell in Mainland China, knowing these tests are done and required, so no, they are not cruelty free companies after all. True cruelty free companies will not sell in China because of this. Hope this helps.
Hi,
May I start by saying that I LOVE your page! Although I have always been an animal lover, I made the decision last year to really push to become cruelty free in everything starting with skincare and makeup and slowly working my way towards household products and your website has helped me tremendously! Ive been pretty successful (loving Method dish soaps and laundry detergent) except with my contact lens stuff. Any suggestions for cruelty free contacts lenses and solutions?
Secondly, do you know anything about Mirenesse? They are a mid to high price range makeup and skin care company out of Australia. They say all over their website they are cruelty. I hope this is true as they have the most amazing foundation that I have found for 40 year old skin (no creasing and long lasting). Any ideas?
I just checked the Bliss website, and they are using the PETA Beauty without Bunnies logo. Confirmed they’re on PETA’s website, as well…but don’t see them on the list above. Does anyone know otherwise?
Is this site still active? I haven’t seen a response from the site owner to any questions below in over a month.
How about Love,Beauty and Planet are they not cruelty free?
Peta has recognized them as vegan and cruelty free, but their parent company Unilever isn’t as far as I know.
Hi Suzi! Thanks very much for all the research done! The lists are very useful to look for cruelty-free products.
BTW, what do you think about the products shipped to China? Some of the cruelty-free brands are sold on websites like iherb.com, and these websites does ship to China, any ideas if the Chinese government also requires those brands to conduct animal testing?
Thanks!
just curious if Dermatolgica, Obagi are on your cruelty free list. I believe I did see these companies as cruelty free but just wanted to know directly from you
