My Cruelty Free List


Disclaimer: I only place companies on this list that have answered all of the questions I ask when I email them. I use the same format when I contact companies. I've tweaked it twice in the last year, but it's basically the same. (click the link to view it). I then proceed to determine whether said company is cruelty-free. I have a set of criteria. (Click link to view the criteria I use). I hope this helps to clarify how companies end up on this list.


Also, just because a company is not on this list does not mean it's not cruelty-free. Also, company policies are changing and companies on this list might not be here forever. (i.e. UrbanDecay). 


I use other resources when purchasing. I prefer to personally email companies but I can't wait for all of them to reply. (If I did, I'd live under a bridge). I do the best I can, all based on the knowledge I've gathered from researching this topic.

(Cruelty-Free Companies)

***As you can see there are a LOT more non-cruelty-free companies vs. cruelty-free (or at least the ones I've researched). I recommend you check out LeapingBunny's list, where they have PLENTY of more companies you can choose from. I'm sure having a list of non-cruelty-free companies is just as helpful as GOOD companies.

Disclaimer: I look at three factors to determine if a company is cruelty-free.
1. I look at their parent company. I do not believe in supporting a brand which is under a big company that does not also have a 100% cruelty-free status. I believe this because in those situations you often don't know where your money is going. Often, it might be funding animal testing.

2. I look at the suppliers of the company's raw ingredients. Companies I consider to be 100% cruelty-free will have verified that they make sure the manufcatures of the raw ingredients comply. They are often also accredited by an animal rights organization such asPETA or LeapingBunny. This gives me more reassurance that the suppliers are also cruelty-free.

3. I look to see if the products are sold in China. I do this because for cosmetic products to be sold in the Chinese market cosmetic companies must test their products on animals. Meaning, that if a company sells it's products in that market it cannot be cruelty-free. [Disclaimer: Although I ask about vegan products, I do not use that criteria exclusively to determine whether a company is cruelty-free. I just do it for the convenience of my vegan friends. :) ]
