Cruelty-Free vs. Vegan
When shopping for skincare, you often see the terms cruelty-free and vegan. Many think they mean the same thing... but there's a significant difference.
🐰 Cruelty-Free
A cruelty-free product means that no animal testing has been done, either on the finished product or on its ingredients. However, it may contain ingredients of animal origin (e.g., honey, beeswax).
🌱 Vegan
A vegan product contains no animal ingredients. But vegan doesn't always mean cruelty-free, as some vegan brands still test in certain countries.
How to officially know if a brand is truly cruelty-free?
The easiest way is to check with recognized sources such as:
• PETA – Beauty Without Bunnies
These organizations maintain up-to-date lists of certified brands.
And if you don't want to bother?
