What is Cruelty- Free Makeup?

When makeup companies say “safe for skin”, did you ever wonder what made them claim that? The answer is cruel animal testing.

Almost every makeup product undergoes a number of animal tests before the final launch to test whether the product causes any side effects like inflammation, skin irritation, rashes or other conditions. It’s upsetting to know that these animals have to go through this torture.

Cruelty-free makeup and cosmetic products are the ones that involve no animal testing, whatsoever and cause no harm to any animal during the entire process: from sourcing the ingredients to dispatching the final product.

Are Vegan and Cruelty-Free the Same Thing?
Vegan makeup products are the ones that contain no animal products or ingredients like carmine, lanolin, beeswax etc. And being animal cruelty-free means not being tested on animals. These are two different aspects. So, your products can be vegan and still be tested on animals or vice-versa.
