12 Cruelty-Free Drugstore Brands

What Does Cruelty-Free Mean?
If a product states that it is Cruelty-Free it means that the product and ingredients in the product are not tested on animals.

Isn't it against the Law to test on animals?
Yes, testing cosmetics on animals in the UK and the EU has been banned since March 2013 (not that long ago). However, it is still legal in 80% of countries worldwide, including Australia, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Guatemala, India, Japan, New Zeland, Russia, South Korea, Taiwan, and the United States. It is actually a legal requirement in China for some beauty products to be tested on animals.
A Company can claim to be cruelty-free in England or the EU but still test their products on animals to sell to other countries like China (there's a loop-hole somewhere in the laws that allow this).

How are Cosmetics now tested? Are they Safe?
 Most cosmetics should be safe to use but an allergic reaction can occur, which is why it's best and recommended to do a 24-hour swatch test first. Cruelty-Free companies use artificial human tissue grown in the lab, and/or a modern test tube method, both methods have proven to be more effective when testing for skin irritations and toxic ingredients. So it's safer for you and saves animals from being tested on.
