Popular Cruelty Free Cosmetic Brands | BodySoulFruit

We’ve all seen the photos. The poor bunnies that are injected with chemicals that cause their eyes to fall right out their heads or the innocent rats who’ve been permanently disfigured for our personal cosmetic uses. Obviously, as a vegan, I don’t support the cruel and inhumane practices of brands such as L’Oreal, MAC Cosmetics or Herbal Essences.

Today we will explore the world of cruelty free cosmetics!

1) Anastasia Beverly Hills

This brand is NOT vegan certified as far as I know, but it doesn’t test on animals and they have cosmetics that every beauty guru on YouTube swears by.

2) Hard Candy Cosmetics

The familiar Walmart brand is praised for having affordable and durable makeup as well as some of the best lash serums available in the drugstore, but did you know that HC is cruelty free?

3) Kat Von D

This Sephora high-end brand is well known in the makeup community for producing durable, wearable bright bold lip colours. Kat Von D Cosmetics are also certified Cruelty Free!

4) Milani Cosmetics

Who doesn’t appreciate affordable and quality products? If you’re into makeup any at all I’m positive you’ve heard of Milani Cosmetics a common brand that you can find online or at retailers such as Target.

5) NYX Cosmetics

Nyx is certified cruelty free!

Additional CF Brands:

• Physicians Formula
• Lime Crime
• LUSH
• The Body Shop
• Urban Decay (They still call themselves cruelty free yet they are now owned by L’Oreal which makes them questionable.)

Certain brands have now started selling products in China. China requires animal testing so by default these brands have began testing on animals. There are lots and I would suggest you do your own research before purchasing any product. For now, here are a few:

• Estee Lauder and ALL companies that it parents. Including MAC, Tory Birch, Bobbi Brown, Clinique and SMASHBOX
• Sephora Store Brand (privet label)
• Victoria Secret Beauty
• EOS (a.k.a Evolution of Smooth)
