Cruelty Free Makeup Brands

Last Updated on 03/28/2023

When starting out on a cruelty free lifestyle, it can get really overwhelming at times. Keeping up with the brands can be difficult. There are constantly new brands adopting ‘no animal testing’ whereas some brands go back to their old roots, unfortunately. Hey there! This is where I rush in with the cruelty free makeup brands list.

Mainstream drugstore makeup brands are often outperforming their premium counterparts. The drugstore brands have done a great job at improvising their formulations. Unfortunately, drugstore makeup still lacks transparency in some major issues.

Majority of the popular drugstore makeup brands (Maybelline for one) still use animal derived ingredients in their makeup. On top of that, they still test their product ingredients and finished products on innocent animals. All just for the sake of gaining global market share. Can you imagine!

From the past decade, more drugstore makeup brands are coming together in this journey of diminishing animal harming tests. Here is the list of drugstore brands offering 100% cruelty-free products in an affordable range.
