Fortunately, Gerard Cosmetics is cruelty-free! They have confirmed that they don’t test finished products or ingredients on animals. They also stated that their suppliers don’t test on animals, and no third parties test on animals on their behalf. They don’t test on animals where required by law and their products aren’t sold in China. They do not have a parent company at this time. Hooray!
They do make a lot of vegan-friendly products (including their lip glosses) but they do not have a vegan product list at this time. When in doubt, you can always reach out to customer service and they will be able to let you know if a product is vegan or not!
