For this post, I've partnered with to bring you my cruelty-free summer picks for skincare, makeup, and hair. Walmart offers a wide range of cruelty-free brands and beauty products to choose from that won't break the bank, and you can shop both in stores and online.
Pick #1: Milani Keep It Full Nourishing Lip Plumper
The a multi-tasking lip product that contains peptides to boost collagen and hyaluronic acid to keep lips hydrated. It's not sticky and comes in many beautiful shades -- I chose the shade Wild Rose, a neutral nude. I love this lip plumper because it's comparable to higher-priced products, but costs a fraction of the price.
Pick #2: Covergirl Clump Crusher Mascara
Since Covergirl went cruelty-free, I picked their most highly-rated mascara to try. lives up to its name, because it separates lashes nicely while giving them a good coat of mascara. It's perfect for natural, summery looks and doesn't transfer. I love to use it on my lower lashes for those reasons.
Pick #3: The Beautyblender
Did you know that you can buy your from Walmart? They're available online in every color. A beauty sponge is hands down my favorite way of applying foundation because of the natural finish they give.
Pick #4: Derma E Anti-Wrinkle Treatment Oil
The is a Vitamin A oil serum, also known as Retinyl Palmitate. Vitamin A helps with issues like skin texture, fine lines, and even blemishes as it encourages skin cell renewal. It's an effective ingredient recommended for most skin types, and this product from Derma E is suitable for sensitive skin. I like to use it to treat breakouts overnight as soon as they appear.
Pick #5: SheaMoisture Coconut & Hibiscus Curl and Shine Shampoo
I love SheaMoisture, and their smells absolutely incredible. If you're a coconut fan, go give this one a sniff! It's sulfate-free, and is made with certified organic and fair trade shea butter. This shampoo is meant for thick, curly hair, but my wavy hair has been loving it for the extra moisture.

Yes this is very helpful, thank you for taking the time to list vegan cruelty free products at affordable pricing.
I’d love to know if the Equate brand of mouthwash is cruelty-free. I’m trying desperately to find a cruelty-free mouthwash that DOES have alcohol. I’m not a fan of the Tea Tree options.
From now on I promise to never buy products that do animal testing
Just wanted to thank you for all the cruelty free information you share. This Walmart list is particularly helpful because I shop there and many of my friends and family do also and this list makes it easier for me to share with them the cruelty free options they have.
I often refer to your site when I am looking to make purchases anywhere whether it’s for make up or cleaning supplies for the house.
Sincerely,
Kym Veith
I love you, young lady. I’m glad there is someone that is willing to take the responsibility and time to purge out Cruelty Free products that are sold at more inexpensive prices. Kudos!
I hope you can list Sunscreen products, as well.
I just read in 2018 Unilever acquired Sundail Brands which owns Sheamoisture:(
COSRX is not on your list, but you say here they’re CF?
Also wondering about this..!
Thank you for all the hard work you put into this site – I find it so useful!!! Would love to see more Korean brands if possible!
Thank you, I’m looking into Korean brands!
Hi! So I heard that the Wal Mart brand Equate has an Apricot deodorant that’s allegedly cruelty free. Do you think their claims are true?
We haven’t reached out to Walmart about the cruelty-free status of Equate yet, but we will!
